NAMM 2024: It’s rare a sequel is superior to the original when it comes to the movies, but fortunately that’s not the case in the pedal world. Either way, Pigtronix might have cracked it with the follow up to its “alchemical” optical compressor and sustainer, the Philosopher’s Tone.
The Philosopher’s Tone 2 adds a new footswitchable grit channel to the compressor pedal (making the most of original’s grit dial setting, similar to the firm’s Philosopher’s Twin spin-off), alongside a choice of silicone or germanium clipping.
