2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Gale Booster / Limiter is a pedal adaptation of the Schaffer-Vega Diversity System, and more

directly based on the SoloDallas Storm (version 2, 2019, traced by Aion FX). The SVDS was designed by

Ken Schaffer and released in 1976 by the Vega Corporation. It was the first wireless system that was

reliable enough to be used by major touring acts.

While it was used by several famous guitarists including Ace Frehley, David Gilmour and Eddie Van

Halen, it's Angus Young of AC/DC whose tone was most impacted by it. He found that when he was

in the studio, he couldn't get quite the same tone as he got on stage, so he ended up running his guitar

through the wireless unit even when recording.

Because of this, the SVDS joins the ranks of the SDD-3000 and Echoplex EP-3 as an effect unit whose

coloration was desirable even when the main part of the effect wasn't used.

In the pedal adaptation, the actual wireless portions of the SVDS have been removed, leaving only the

pregain, limiter, and output amplifier, which form the core analog signal path of the original unit.

The Gale is a direct adaptation of the Storm with no changes except for some added power filtering.

USAGE

The Gale has the following controls:

• Pregain sets the signal level at the input. At higher settings, it can drive the limiter harder for more

compression.

• Threshold sets the threshold of the optical limiter.

• Volume is the output volume control.
