Story of Rising Sun

  • The Rising Sun is a tribute to my Blackfeet (Amsskaapi Piikuni) heritage.

  • The Blackfeet were nomadic, but their movement wasn’t aimless. They traveled with a purpose, knowing where food and resources were plentiful. The teepee served as shelter because of its ability to fit the nomadic lifestyle of the Blackfeet.

  • When setting up camp, the Blackfeet pitched their teepee doors towards the eastern sky. Every morning, the Blackfeet would open their doors so that their prayers could travel to the Rising Sun, which would help the sun reach above the horizon for another day.

  • The Rising Sun artwork looks towards the eastern sky as the sun rises over the horizon.

Details

  • Rising Sun

    The Rising Sun is an optical tremolo pedal that expands on the technology found in vintage amplifiers.

    The intuitive interface features volume, waveform, and depth controls for a warm-analog tremolo experience. The Rising Sun includes two modes of operation: tap and ramp.

    Tap mode implements four sub-divisions for tap-tempo capability. Ramp mode allows for smooth transition between two selectable tremolo speeds.
