{"product_id":"collision-devices-tars-black-on-white-381374","title":"Tars Black On White","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom Black Hole Symmetry to TARS: Singularity in fuzz + filter version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the Collision Devices universe, the TARS incorporates the \u003cstrong\u003eSingularity fuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e section derived from the flagship pedal \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Hole Symmetry\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with a gain control to broaden the saturation palette. The core concept remains the same: sounds flirting with synthesis, with a very \"instrumental\" approach where the pedal becomes a module you control as much as you play. To complement this fuzz, Collision Devices adds a \u003cstrong\u003elow-pass filter inspired by the Korg MS-20\u003c\/strong\u003e to transform the distortion into sonic material: sharper, more dynamic, more dramatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho the TARS suits and in which styles it makes a difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TARS is aimed at guitarists, bassists, and texture experimenters looking to break new ground: \u003cstrong\u003enoise\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eshoegaze\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epost-rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estoner\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eelectro\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindustrial\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as any situation where a fuzz that \"speaks\" in the mix is desired. On guitar, it can range from a dirty, edgy drive to a thick fuzz that fills the space. On bass, the filter helps precisely select the frequency range to emphasize, and the resonance settings allow for creating almost synthetic accents. Connected to a \u003cstrong\u003esynthesizer\u003c\/strong\u003e or drum machine, it becomes a sound design tool: sweeps, tension builds, synthetic \"wah\" effects, and deconstructed textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the studio, the TARS is ideal for doubling a track, dirtying a monophonic line, or creating a filtered movement automatable via expression\/CV. Live, it shines on a performance-oriented pedalboard: a well-placed CutOff sweep instantly takes you from a saturated riff to a filtered blast cutting through the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls and architecture: a fuzz sculpted like a synth filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fuzz section offers two essential controls: \u003cstrong\u003eGain\u003c\/strong\u003e (saturation level) and \u003cstrong\u003eMaster\u003c\/strong\u003e (output volume). The behavior ranges from a crackling, granular sound at low gain to a rounder, denser, and more powerful fuzz distortion when pushed. Then, the MS-20 style low-pass filter becomes the real control center: \u003cstrong\u003eCutOff\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the cutoff frequency (from \u003cstrong\u003e15 Hz to 44 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e ) and \u003cstrong\u003eRes(onance)\u003c\/strong\u003e boosts energy around this frequency to achieve resonant peaks, aggressive accents, or synthetic vocalizations depending on the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLPF VOL\u003c\/strong\u003e control acts as a VCA, convenient for adjusting the filtered section's level without unbalancing your chain. The \u003cstrong\u003e2P\/4P\u003c\/strong\u003e selector changes the filter slope: \u003cstrong\u003e-12 dB per octave\u003c\/strong\u003e in 2P for smoother transitions, or \u003cstrong\u003e-24 dB per octave\u003c\/strong\u003e in 4P for a more radical cutoff and more \"synth-like\" effects. The \u003cstrong\u003eAdd Fuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e switch adds an additional \u003cstrong\u003eunfiltered fuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e to thicken, boost, and make the sound more massive. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003eS\/P\u003c\/strong\u003e switch allows placing fuzz and filter \u003cstrong\u003ein series\u003c\/strong\u003e (fuzz into filter) or \u003cstrong\u003ein parallel\u003c\/strong\u003e (two paths combined), which completely changes how saturation shapes the mids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEXP\/CV\u003c\/strong\u003e input is used to control the CutOff fader via expression pedal for hands-free sweeps. This kind of detail transforms the TARS into a performance instrument: you can \"play\" the filter like a controller, move from a dark pad to an acidic peak, or make a fuzz breathe rhythmically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TARS is a pedal with a strong personality: a fuzz that retains \u003cstrong\u003ebody\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egranularity\u003c\/strong\u003e, then a filter that either smooths and darkens or, conversely, creates \u003cstrong\u003esharp resonances\u003c\/strong\u003e that immediately cut through. In series, expect a very \"synth fuzz\" sound with colors ranging from dark velvet to unstable acid depending on CutOff and Res. In parallel, you get more width and definition, with the possibility to keep a solid fuzz base while adding filtered movement on top. The dynamics respond well to playing and instrument volume, but it is mainly the CutOff\/Res pair that dictates the drama: subtle and textured at low resonance, or downright explosive when seeking the self-coloration point that makes the sound take off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
