Manufacturer's description
The Cuatro A-DE is a compact digital effects pedal offering Reverse Delay, Pitch Shifter Delay, and Modulated Reverb. Its effects engine uses a 12-bit digital architecture with analogue filtering applied before and after conversion, inspired by vintage 1980s unit topologies. All effects can be used simultaneously. Despite its complexity, the pedal is simple and intuitive to operate, with all functions controlled directly via dedicated knobs.
Controls
- Blend: Adjusts the mix of effects in the final output signal.
- Octave Blend: Mixes a pitched signal into the reverb input.
- Octave -1/+1: Controls the tuning of the pitch component.
- Repeat: Adjusts the feedback level of the delay component.
- Balance: Controls the mix between reverb and delay.
- Sample Rate: Adjusts the operational frequency of the pedal, affecting both delay time and reverb decay.
- Reverse: Blends the reverse delay component with the direct signal.
Indicators
- Signal: Lights up when clipping occurs. (Input path includes compression and limiting, providing feedback on the signal level driving the pedal.)
- Tap: Blinks at the delay rate, reflecting the tap tempo and sample rate settings.
- Tap/Freeze:
- Red: Indicates tapping time for delay.
- Blue: Indicates reverb freeze is engaged.
- Bypass: Displays the global effect on/off status.
Footswitches
- Tap/Freeze:
- Acts as tap tempo for delay and reverse delay.
- Engages freeze/infinite reverb when selected via the associated toggle switch.
- Maximum delay time: ~6 seconds (varies based on sample rate).
- Bypass:
- Provides buffered bypass for the entire pedal.
- 125B box
- Length: 117.2mm
- Width: 65mm
- Power consumption: 150 mA
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
