Demeter Amps
Founded by James Demeter in 1980, Demeter Amps started out with one small product: the Red Box FET Direct Box. It was designed by Demeter, Rob Robinette, and Phil Van Allen to be one of the best products out there.
It was quite innovative for the time with features like a built-in battery tester that would show the battery status when it was plugged in. During the 1980s, the company began building up their line of products. They created the Tube Direct Box, the VTBP-201 Tube Bass Preamp, and the MB-2 Midboost/Fat Control, just to name a few. Many of these products are still in production today, and thousands of them have been built.
Some of the products created during the 80s became very popular with professional players. Take the TGA-3 Guitar Amp. It was the first three channel guitar amp to feature a stereo effects loop, and players such as Sonny Landrith and Bonnie Raitt loved it. Even though only 200 of these amps were produced, they were incredibly popular. Likewise, the VTMP-2 Tube Microphone Preamp, which was the only one of its kind at the time, was popular with artists like Seal, Sting, and the Stone Temple Pilots.
1990 saw the company, after several name changes, become Demeter Amplification. They continued to create new and innovated products, including the Quad Tube Direct Box. This box was created via special order, and only 20 of them were ever produced. The company’s willingness to go above and beyond and create special products like this is just one of the many things that has given Demeter Amps the edge over other companies.
During the 90s, Demeter Amps continued to build various products. Some, like the VTCL-2 Compressor/Limiter, were huge sellers, and over 2,000 units were produced until, finally, it went out of production. On the other hand, the TGA-3 100 Watt Guitar Amp had a very limited run of 30. This makes collecting Demeter products very difficult, especially if you’re looking for some of these rarer devices.
Demeter has always been recognized for their excellence. In 2001, for example, they were awarded the PAR Excellence Award for the RV-1 Real Reverb. In 2003, Guitar Player Magazine named their COMP-1 Compulator as the Editor’s Pick. The VTMP-2C Microphone Preamp was nominated twice for the Mix Foundation Tech Award, the only preamp series to ever be nominated for the award twice.
More recently, Demeter has expanded their pedal line, including introducing a line of professional effects pedals in 2007. These pedals make what was already an excellent line of products even better, and anyone looking for great amps, preamps, or pedals could do a lot worse than a Demeter.

Demeter Fuzzulator |
|
ntroducing the Demeter FUZ-1 Fuzzulator Fuzz Pedal, a different kind of distortion box. The Demeter FUZ-1 Fuzzulator Fuzz Pedal is the first fuzz box to use our innovative Tone Pre-Emphasis Circuit to control and enhance the proper frequencies to give the distorted sound focus, so that even with massive distortion your instrument will not be lost in the sonic mud. The Demeter FUZ-1 Fuzzulator Fuzz Pedal also features the exclusive tight/loose switch that switches between a tight sound, using LEDs as the distortion generator, or a looser sound, using our special combination of silicone and germanium diodes. As with all Demeter products, these units are hand built in the U.S.A. using the finest components available to insure many years of trouble free use. Demeter FUZ-1 Fuzzulator Fuzz Pedal Features There are three controls on the unit: fuzz, tone and volume, a mode switch to switch between tight or loose, plus a foot switch to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate effect operation. On the side there is a trim pot to set the overall gain of the unit. Fuzz: increases the gain of the distortion circuit which increases the distortion and sustain of the unit. Tone: a high cut filter which you can use to make your sound warmer and fatter. Volume: this control sets the overall output of the unit. Use this for level matching between the effected and unaffected signal. Footswitch: a bypass type of switching is used for a more pure sound. An led indicates the unit is engaged. Tight/loose switch: this switches between light emitting diodes and germanium diodes for the distortion generating devices. LEDs have a tight sound and are a bit louder. Germanium diodes have a looser more classic fuzz sound with less output volume. Trim pot: sets the gain of the Fuzzulator's output amplifier. It is useful to turn it up if you are using the germanium diodes (loose) as your primary distortion setting. Or you can turn it down if the unit is too hot for your system. |

Demeter Compulator Pro Effects Pedal V2 |
|
Operation is fairly straightforward. There are two inputs on the front side of the unit: a 1/4" input jack on the right and a1/4" output jack on the left. The battery-power switch is on the input Jack. There are four controls on the unit-Compress and Volume, plus a foot switch to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate effect operation. On the side there is Boost switch and a trim pot to set the Boost gain of the unit. Attack: Sets the speed at which the Compressor will start gain reduction. The fastest setting is 1 millisecond, the slowest 100milliseconds. Release: Sets the time the Gain reduction will stay on. The fastest setting is 100 mil-liseconds, slowest 10 seconds. Compress: affects the amount of Gain reduction (compression) of the input signal. Turning this clock wise will give you up to 30dB of gain reduction (depending on input gain). Please note that the Compulators normal gain is 12dB. In the boost mode max gain is 24dB (SEE Trim Pot). In some circumstance if you instrument is very hot you could achieve less than unity gain if you turn up the compress knob too much. Volume: increases and decreases the output volume of the Compulator use this for level matching between the effected and unaf-fected signal. Volume increases and decreases the output volume of the Compulator. Use this for level matching between the affected and unaffected signal. Boost Switch: Turns on the preset gain weaker signals or for very heavey compres-sion. |
