Tsakalis Audioworks AC MASTER
British Style Overdrive and Booster

Designed for players who love the sound of classic 60s British amplifiers pushed to their limits, the AC MASTER from Tsakalis Audioworks combines two classic British circuits in a single pedal, a VOX-style overdrive and a Range Master inspired booster. AC MASTER offers immediate access to the iconic tones associated with players like Brian May and Rory Gallagher, while also covering a wide range of modern drive and boost applications.

Used independently or stacked together, the two sections provide everything from sparkling edge-of-breakup, sweet-singing overdrive tones to aggressive classic rock saturation.

Main Features:
• British style Overdrive and Booster effects pedal
• Two independent circuits with flexible routing options
  o AC section – Vox style overdrive
  o Master section – Range Master booster
• Dedicated input and output jacks for each section
• FX Loop between the two circuits for flexible pedalboard routing
• AC section comes with two blendable channels and an output section
  o Top Boost: bright, chimey overdrive with controls for Volume, Bass and Treble
  o Normal: warm, thick and slightly fuzzy overdrive with Volume control only
  o Output section with controls for Tone Cut and Master Volume
• Master Booster Section with controls for Boost, Range and Volume
• Handmade in Athens, Greece
• Powered by (opt.) 9 V DC PSU (centre -, 2.1mm, ~ 36 mA current draw, not included)

The AC MASTER features a unique dual-circuit design with dedicated input and output jacks for each section, offering exceptional flexibility for placement within your signal chain. The AC and MASTER sections can both be used completely independently, so other pedals can be inserted between them, allowing you to integrate the two circuits anywhere within your signal chain.

The AC section is a faithful recreation based on the legendary three-channel VOX Top Boost amplifiers of the 1960s. It accurately recreates the complex harmonic character of these classic amplifiers by blending the warm, thick “Normal channel” with the bright, chimey “Top Boost channel”. It also features an interactive VOX-style EQ (Bass and Treble), Tone Cut for high-frequency roll-off, and Master Volume. The circuit is designed to work exceptionally well with other drive pedals, maintaining clarity and delivering dynamic compression, enhanced sustain, and rich harmonic saturation when pushed hard.

The MASTER section is a premium booster inspired by the iconic Range Master treble booster, using a carefully selected silicon transistor that captures the dynamic response and musical character of vintage germanium while providing greater reliability and consistency. It features a Boost control, Master Volume, and a 3-way Frequency Selector offering Normal (classic treble boost), Mid (focused midrange push), and Bass (fuller response) settings.

Used independently or stacked together, these two sections unlock a wide range of tones - from transparent boost and classic treble booster sparkle to edge-of-breakup British drive, thick vintage overdrive, and saturated classic rock distortion. When combined, the MASTER section pushes the AC circuit into rich harmonic saturation, delivering the powerful, authentic British tones that shaped an entire era of music.

Our daily endeavor is to bring the sound that lives in our head to life.

For us, building pedals means to inspire musicians who inspire us.

It feels like yesterday when founder Chris Tsakalis was looking for feedback on his new custom built – tube driven overdrive, from players who he repaired gear for in Athens. That first attempt, that grew up to become the “Gravity Spot”, was the spark needed to gather the attention of the local musical society.

A few years later, and with a wide range of effects to share with the world, came our first international trade show in Frankfurt followed by the NAMM show.

We believe in the process of hand building and we plan to keep it that way. We believe in simple and easy to use pedals which provide the player with many different options without getting in his/her way. We believe in quality components. We believe in research. We believe in interaction. We believe in music.

This is not a job for us nor will it ever be. We live and breathe tone.
