To our dear customers in the US:
Due to the current tariff situation, additional import fees should be expected on orders shipped to the United States. We are very sorry about this, but unfortunately it is beyond our control.
Based on feedback we’ve received so far from US customers, import fees of approximately $60–100 USD can be expected.

Skyline V2 expands on the original design with two additional toggle switches for clipping and mid-push shaping, greatly increasing the pedal’s tonal flexibility. The controls work together to take the Skyline from open, transparent low-gain tones with minimal compression to a saturated, mid-forward TS-inspired drive - and everywhere in between.

To make room for the two additional toggle switches, we decided to house the V2 in a slightly larger 1590BB enclosure.

Paired with the integrated clean boost, Skyline V2 delivers a broad palette of usable sounds, equally at home as an always-on tone shaper or a more expressive overdrive.

  • Based on the "Timmy" topology.
  • Premium Parts: It’s not just about the recipe; it’s about the ingredients! We believe that the quality of components is crucial, which is why we use only the best. Our capacitors come from Wima, with their top-of-the-line MKP10 (polypropylene) for the input capacitor. Throughout the circuit, you’ll find a carefully selected mix of MKP10, FKP2 and MKS4 capacitors. Because great sound starts with great parts.

  • NO electrolytic capacitors in the audio path! While many companies cut corners with electrolytic or cheap ceramic capacitors (SMT) once the value hits 1uF, we take a different approach. We exclusively use high-quality film capacitors because they simply sound better.

The Overdrive section of Skyline presents a host of controls:

  • Gain, Tone, Level: Standard controls for shaping your overdriven sound.

  • LOWS: Regulate the low-frequency response of the gain/clipping stage across the entire sweep.

  • HIGHS: Adjust the high-frequency response of the overdrive section, enhancing clarity and introducing grit and saturation as you turn it clockwise.

  • Clip - three way toggle: Changes the clipping mode in the overdrive stage, in tandem with the internal clipping dip-switch, which gives a total of four different configurations - (2 or 4 diode symmetrical clipping and 3 or 5 diode asymmetrical clipping) - As well as an "open" setting, with no diodes for a clean boost mode.

  • Mids - three way toggle: Changes the mid frequency push of the overdrive in three levels - flat, more and most.

Dive deeper into customization by unscrewing the lid to reveal a 1-way and a 2-way dip-switch, allowing for further tone shaping: 

  • HIGHS: Works in conjunction with the tone knob, altering the high-cut parameter for the tone control.

  • LOWS: Alters the low-frequency cut-off parameter of the lows knob on the front panel.

  • CLIPPING: Shifts between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping in tandem with the external CLIP toggle switch. 

     BOOST:

    The boost circuit is pre-drive and can be used independent of the main drive circuit. It’s a “clean” boost built around an op-amp and not meant to color or change your tone but give you more of what you already got. The boost knob controls the gain of the boost circuit, from unity with the gain at minimum to an 18dB boost, with the gain knob at max. On the front you also find a three-position toggle switch labeled “eq” which gives you three different voicings to choose from. Full frequency, low-mids and high-mids.

    BUFFER:

    We took inspiration from the Gravity, where both the TS and the K-circuit have buffered bypass, which means that with the pedal “off”, you have two buffers in series. We really like the buffered tone of the TS transistor-buffer followed by the K-circuits op-amp buffer.

    The new buffer circuit consist of a NPN transistor input buffer with an input impedance of 510K Ohm, like a TS, followed by an op-amp output buffer stage, with an output impedance of 100 Ohm.

    Because not every guitarist likes a buffer and, in some situations, true bypass is preferred, we wanted to make the buffer switchable. This is done via a dip switch found on the inside. As an extra feature, if the pedal is set to “buffered bypass” and the power fails, it will automatically switch to true bypass and let signal through. This will also happen if the power fails, while the pedal is engaged.

    Skyline, with its meticulous design and a plethora of tonal options, promises a sonic journey like no other. Unleash your creativity and embark on an exploration of unparalleled overdrive possibilities.
