New Pedal: QUIMERA — A Polyphonic Synth Pedal

New Pedal: QUIMERA — A Polyphonic Synth Pedal

We’re excited to announce QUIMERA, our first new pedal in five years —
a powerful polyphonic synth and sampler pedal designed for guitarists and experimental musicians.

Available in March 2026.
Check out the demo video below.

All audio in the video is created using only a guitar and QUIMERA — no other instruments or plugins are used.

 

QUIMERA works with bass as well.
It is mono in / mono out.
We chose not to support stereo because doubling the processing would increase latency, and low latency was our top priority for this instrument.

For clarity, the 5 ms figure refers to the tracking cycle, not end-to-end audio latency.
After pitch tracking, the signal is processed by oscillators and effects,
so overall latency depends on the selected sound and processing complexity.

In PRESET 1, the “TOONLEAD” preset has a measured latency of 12.5 ms.

We optimized the system as much as possible,
but a small amount of latency may still be perceptible in some cases.

Product pages, demo videos, and tutorial videos are coming very soon!

 

Firmware (V1.4) for Tararira has been released.

Thank you very much for your patience.

With the shortage of semiconductors, the "Mini Series" will finally be back in stock.
(It was really hard to secure the semiconductors!)

They will be available from dealers and Amazon as early as December and as late as January this year.

And here's some bad news.
The bad news is that we don't have a huge number of them available, so if you really want one, please order soon!
