API Select TranZformer GTR Pedal
EQ, boost, and overdrive pedal incorporating the proprietary API 2510 OpAmp and a signature API output transformer
MFR# TranZformer GTR
Product Description
The API Select TranZformer GTR Guitar Pedal incorporates API’s legendary EQ circuit into a versatile and compact guitar effects pedal. Designed to easily fit on your pedalboard and engineered to run on standard 9V power supplies, the API Audio GTR offers ±15 dB of gain on three specific frequencies.
Additionally, the gain stage can be switched from Clean Boost to Overdrive mode to drive the input OpAmp and add even more tones to your arsenal. Other features include a buffered bypass, -20 dB output pad, selectable peak/shelf for upper frequency range, transformer output, and of course the classic API sound.
BOOST AND EQ PEDAL WITH THE CLASSIC API SOUND
When you plug into the TranZformer GTR, the first thing a user sees is the pedal's variable-gain preamp. Filled with classic API character, this preamp includes a Gain knob with roughly 0dB to +40dB of gain, offering more gain for more boost or overdrive. The Mode knob can toggle between an undistorted Clean Boost and an Overdrive mode that helps drive a 2510 op-amp into saturation. Guitarists love the TranZformer GTR's Output Pad, which offers a -20dB pad on your output.
The TranZformer GTR is an API EQ and can fit on any pedalboard! The TranZformer GTR Boost Pedal can be configured as an undistorted clean boost or even as an overdrive that pushes this stompbox's 2510 input amplifier into a full saturation. Users can also get a guitar-optimized three-band equalizer for classic API-style sonic sculpting. A muscular-sounding transformer output can put the final sonic stamp on this guitar effects pedal's iconic API sound.
The TranZformer GTR Pedal was engineered for high-performance operation through a standard 9-volt power supply. At home in both the studio and on stage, the pro audio quality stompbox boasts high-quality buffered bypass switching for an optimal signal, even if the studio rig includes arena-sized cable runs. An easy-to-see LED indicator helps round out the API TranZformer GTR's outstanding features.
Requires separate power supply. 9 - 18V DC negative center, 2.1 x 5.5mm barrel connector. Do not use more than 18V DC.

API Launches API Select Lineup With Six New Releases
08.02.2021Read More
API has announced the introduction of the API Select range, a new product lineup that breaks from the brand's classic mold. These fresh offerings incorporate unique technology that API has purchased through the decades with its own homegrown designs.
"Over the years, we’ve acquired the technology and experience to engineer and produce audio products that don’t necessarily conform to API’s classic component structure or topography," API President Larry Droppa says. “API Select gives us the opportunity to offer gear that’s very high quality, but that’s different from API’s legendary line of classic products."

There's been lots of hype about all six releases, but the most fervor surrounds the T12 and T25. The T12 is a dual mic preamp with a tube-based circuit featuring 12AT7WC and 12BH7 tubes, in addition to proprietary API input transformers and custom transformers on the output stage.
