Tube Zipper - LESS

Press Release August 2001

According to Matthews, "the TUBE ZIPPER is the greatest product we've introduced in over 20 years. Just picture your guitar signal massaged by a complex set of filters moving through a tube maze."

Energized by two selected 12AX7EH tubes, controlled analogue harmonics are tastefully added and then digested by a patented moving filter gang. In keeping with the EH tradition, every control can be set over the edge, generating a host of novel tones with actance preserved. Add some Tron or

Trill a la mode! True bypass.

"I love the Tube Zipper. It's the most flexible little box yet. I've been working with it every morning. The problem is I can't decide on a single setting, but for the tour I'll use it mainly as a distortion device. I love the sensitivity of the settings, one little tweak changes everything."
Guitar effects legend, Andrew Belew

"This is one of the coolest pedals I've heard ever. It has some completely new and original sounds with the combination of the envelope filter. The oscillations are cool when you put them right on the edge where your guitar playing triggers them. The Trill sound is like no other sound I've heard... I'm looking for cool, new sounds to use on Sheryl's record. I'll take it out when I get with her next week."
