The Pill Mini won't be produced anymore after this batch. There are 50 pieces left I can build. This is definite. So if you ever want to get ahold of a Mini Pill, now's the time!

*Every single pedal is handmade, crucial parts are handselected, measured, matched and finally the pedal is calibrated, all by my ears. Only like that I can guarantee the most bouncy ducking and best sound quality. My time available is simply limiting the number of pedals I can build.

All it does is ducking. It's its core purpose. Analog, true bypass and handmade in Europe. It's made by a musician, for musicians.

Release. Depth. Trigger. No need for more.

• Release: Sets the duration of the ducking. From short to long.
• Depth: Sets the ducking volume level. From subtle to complete silence.
• Trigger: Sets the sensibility (gain) of the trigger input. Quickly adjusted to fit the input source.

How does it work?

There is an instrument input and a trigger input. Every time the pedal detects a signal at the trigger input, the audio from the instrument input is getting ducked. It's that simple.

The trigger signal is not routed to the audio output.

Why The Pill

This pedal brings a music production effect to the live stage. It's a unique design and piece of music equipment. Instantly ready on stage. No troublesome calibration. No need for other accessories.

It’s handmade in Europe. Developed by a musician, who understands what musicians wish for and need. No needless functions. Pure Ducking in a robust aluminium enclosure, which just looks dazzling.

100% focused on functionality, musicality and sound quality. No compromises.

The pedal has been tested in real life environments - on stage, in the studio, on tour.

«That is rad as fun. Fuck!» Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie, Sting, Knower...)

«I've used the Berlinbounce ducking effect for two years now and it's one of the best devices I've ever owned, no cap. I wish there was a software plugin emulation of this. It reacts so much better than any compressor with sidechain input.» Alessandro Hug (Producer and Keyboarder of Len Sander)

«I was lucky enough to get in on the first batch of this pedal and I have used it a bunch since. Having hardware dedicated to sidechain compression is a game changer for me. In the live environment it gets rid of all the hassle of using plugins and gives me tactile and direct access to the parameters of the compressor. It's portable, super sturdy, fun to use and most importantly it sounds amazing» Paul Evans (Sound Engineer, Sweden)

«When you try out new recording equipment, you quickly feel if it's something for you or not. This pedal just nailed everything. Super easy to use, great sound and extreme flexible with input levels and sources.» Manuel Egger (Recording Engineer, Suburban Sound Studio, Switzerland)

When you think about it

...The Pill connects the energy of two musicians together. It can make a flat sound more vibrant. Rhythmically always linked to another instrument.

It's moving music, making it more lively, leting it breathe along with other instruments. It creates an organic sound with more depth. It’s all about groove. It’s bouncing.
