Introducing.......The PWR

STARDATE 2/28/2024

There’s a new member of the Mountainking armada!

While the current Mountainking lineup is not lacking in the distortion-based effect pedal department, it is mostly what you would call “fuzz”, but there are times when what is called for is that cranked full stack crunch that most simply refer to as “distortion”….yeah, the language needs some work, but the point is there was a gap in the lineup that needed t6o be filled….Enter the PWR! The PWR is high gain distortion machine that sounds massive and mean yet keeps chords and individual notes defined and singing. Where as other high gain distortions are noisy and harsh, the PWR has a high signal to noise ratio (that’s a good thing) and a well balanced tone that never sounds brittle. Mountainking pedals are known for their original circuit designs, rock solid, road ready construction and an obsessive attention to detail and the PWR no different. Already the people are talking, “Soon to be a classic”…we shall see….we shall see…

ATTENTION! A new effect pedal has been spotted in the Mountainking Galaxy…PLEASE STAND BY FOR TRANSMISSION…

BEGIN TRANSMISSION….After many years of sporadic glimpses and teases of possible things to come we now have confirmed information from our reconnaissance scouts that a new distortion device has been spotted at the event horizon of the black hole at the center of the Mountainking Galaxy. This device, that we are calling the “PWR”, is capable of gain levels the likes of which even Cthulhu has never seen and sustain durations can only be counted in terms of eons. It’s heaviosity levels are off the charts and off the chain, like all devices from the Mountainking Galaxy, and while most of the devices from is this part of the known universe have been labelled “fuzz” the PWR has that cranked full stack crunch that most of us have come to simply call “distortion”. We expect to have much more information on this new device and it’s availability in about a week. Please follow Spaceship Mountainking via our Instagram transmissions for the last news and updates on our journey in search of Heaviosity….END TRANSMISSION

Improvements, modifications and repairs to Spaceship Mountainking

Attention…Attention…This is Captain Cacophony aka Doctor Oscillator aka Qlan of the Spaceship Mountainking…we are currently in hangar, making some much needed mods, improvements and repairs. We are still available any and all missions (aka pedal orders) while we finish up the construction. What’s to come? At the moments it’s mostly just updating photos to reflect the current color/finish that the pedal ship with, updating technical info about the individual pedals and looking into taking orders direct through the website but there is some red tape connected with that so I can’t say for sure that it will be feasible at this time, We’ll see. In the meantime if you would like to place an order or have any questions please click the EMAIL button below to place an order direct or visit our Reverb store and place an order there (we prefer direct sales but do what’s best for you ;)

Thank you!

Prototype tease

Stardate 11/23/22

The Doom That Came to Modulation

Here’s a prototype (it’s actually the 2nd Micro Portal proto I built) of the Micro Portal, it is basically the core circuit for the more elaborate and also unreleased Portal. The Portal design has some bells and whistles that the Micro does not but the core circuit deserves to be it’s own pedal and I know some of you will prefer the simpler design and the smaller price tag it will carry. The Micro Portal combines a dense, gated and massive sounding square wave distortion/fuzz with two different audio rate modulation effects. The first modulation setting lies somewhere inbetween a ring modulator and a bit crusher. The second modulation setting is best described as a pseudo frequency shifter effect. There is also a setting that gives you the synth-like distortion without the modulation. The controls are SENSITIVITY which sets the threshold of the gating effect, MODE selects either one of the two of modulation effects or just distortion, FREQUENCY selects the frequency range of the modulation and OUTPUT is the volume control and there is a massive amount of volume available.

This is a prototype so it may very well change in both function and control set. I built this prototype because I had sold the other prototype and I wanted to have another to mess around with and reconsider it’s design and possible release. I don’t know if or when this might be officially available but if you would like to order one I would probably be convinced to build you one so hit me up and we can talk about it ;)

New and improved Behemoth II!

Stardate 9/19/2022

BETTER…STRONGER…FATTER!

Along with the Behemoth II's new look is a new and improved circuit....🦏

While overall I have been very happy with the Behemoth II's circuit-ical performance I felt like it could do a better job at what it already does if I revisited it's internal architecture and did some fine tuning......

The result is a Behemoth II with more headroom, which means more clean-ish boost power, more dynamic range and more harmonic transistor clipping, this is especially noticeable when using CLIPPING VOICE 1(clipping voices 2 and 3 use some amount of diode clipping) which is the clipping voice that gives you that classic, 70s style cranked bass tube amp breakup. The overall effect of the modification is subtle but also definitely noticeable in a "can't quite put my finger on it, it just sounds better" kind of way.


Want to hear what this beast sounds like and feels like for yourself? Drop me a line and place your order for one today!

Price: $185 free shipping

Wait time: about 2 weeks

A LITTLE BODY DETAILING

I added a little extra sumpin’, sumpin’ to this Decomposer and I thought I’d share it with y’all. I love toggle switch bezels but they only work if you have the right switches which has been a bit difficult to source lately. Hopefully this will be a permanent addition. I also used a different led bezel than I normally use, one that I thought matched up better with the toggle switch bezels though I love the bezels I normally use so we will see if this change stays. Last but not least I got ahold of red dc power jacks which compliment the Decomposer’s red graphics perfectly. They are significantly more expensive than the black jacks but I’m going to see if I can get a better price on these red guys either from a different distributor or by buying larger quantities. Regardless of all of these “maybe”s, someone is going to get this sharp dressed Decomposer, is that someone you?

Need a Mountainking pedal?

Just email me letting me know what you are looking for and I will make it happen! At times I do have pedals built and ready to ship, which I will often list in my Reverb store, but otherwise there will be a short wait. All Mountainking creations are handmade by me so while it may require a short wait you will get an ultra high quality device that is built to survive even the most brutal touring schedule.

Stardate 6/5/2022:

Site updates…at last!

As you may have noticed the site has not been updated in some time, I’ve been kicking out the pedals non-stop during that time, I just have been neglecting the site. I’ve always had someone else do the site work but I’ve decided that I will try my hand at it for awhile and see how it goes. I’ve always wanted the site to be a place that is active and interesting enough that you would want to check it out frequently so I’m excited to have my hands on the controls of Spaceship Mountainking.
