Pigtronix Philosopher King Polyphonic Amplitude Synthesizer
Pigtronix Philosopher King EGC The Pigtronix Philosopher King is a polyphonic amplitude synthesizer that combines the award-winning compression / sustainer circuit from the Philosophers Tone with a next generation envelope generator. Building upon the technology of the Pigtronix Attack Sustain, the Philosopher King takes tone several steps further with a full set of ADSR controls including hold level, release time, one-shot mode, selectable auto reset, and expression pedals for swell and fade times.
