ECHOFLANGER- ELECTRO-HARMONIX Adrian Below Echo Flanger ___NEW___ Ltd. Ed.

electro-harmonix   
 Adrian Below echoflanger 
$250.00 USD
Delay and Modulation in its many forms second to distortion are the basic synthesis you can add to the electric guitar and still have a dynamic control the notes you are playing. Below 
is the master of a twisted sound. The video is the only 
'how to' as words alone say nothing.
CONCLUSION __
Nothing is this upside down that is not pure 
Shoegaze which in short means you cannot 
play a tune thru the thing. Yes, you can 
indeed play a tune. You get your 
$250.00 USD worth of pedal with this one. 
 

UniVibe- THORPY FX ER-2 (block 3)___NEW___V.3; V.4 available when the paint dries

$480.00 USD

Thorpy FX
 ER-2  (Block 3)  
Same only different. Thorpy are all about very 
high end parts and an endless versions because 
a big part of the price is a couple of hundred 
bucks on another tiresome new look.
CONCLUSION __
What's next? How about a reissue of Version 1 
the good one you cannot get anymore. 
Best of all make it a Limited Edition and boost 
the price to $580.00 USD, 😇


thefineprint 
..there is a good reason why this 
$160.00 USD is still made for 
over12 years. I 100% love mine!!!

___TONE CITY ___7 ALL NEW PEDALS ___2 are KILLER !!!

 TONE CITY    
$135.00 USD ea.
The company has the rep of making 100% pro kit for budget 
prices. Most are Mini pedals but lately some are double pedals 
& now they offer 3 in good ol' Hammond 1590B type enclosures 
with high end parts. The standouts are notably the Blue Crystal a seriously good Dumble pedal and the Green Tube an Ibanez TS10 with a deliberate fine tuning to give you an authentic SRV sound. 
     CONCLUSION __
I still do not have a modern take 
on a Dumble.  J. Rockett do the 
Dude and the H.R.M. Both are
very good but this is their equal, WTF!!!

FUZZ- BLAMMO FX The Goodbye Kitty __Re-release __Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz clone

$145.00 USD
BLAMMO FX
 THE   Goodbye Kitty · 
The original 'gated' Fuzz known Stateside as the UniVox Super Fuzz. 
When pushed hard the sound cuts off with a virtual something 
just hit the wall vibe, lol.
The layout was simply Volume and Gain on the original but 
we get a handy, dandy Tone control on the Kitty.
     CONCLUSION __
Like the Tone Bender and Big Muff a Super 
Fuzz is much needed tool to have in your 
basic Fuzz collection.
A great whimsical look, and a fair price.


thefineprint
The $30.00 USD Behringer Super Fuzz is a dead on 
clone of the BOSS Hyper Fuzz which is a clone of Shin-Ei
too. It sounds great but it not as fat and is a bit harsh.
It is however is different enough to have both it 
and the more authentic BLAMMO

____ MOZZATRONICS ___ ANDREW MCDONALDS' ___6 Best

Mozztronics     

OVERDRIVE- BLAMMO ELECTRONICS Shrew___NEW ___ a Rat clone

$155.00 USD
BLAMMO! ELECTRONICS
SHREW 
Blammo have always been all about taking the classics and adding a 
bit of punch and edge. The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. Clip lets 
you blend the basic germanium clipping diodes with LED's giving you 
grit and gore mixed to your taste. A much needed Gate is added by 
a click of a button.
     CONCLUSION __
Everyone does a Rat. The perfect crossbreed  
between an overdrive and a Fuzz. This is in the 
middle between a basic clone and an all out 
hard clipper with a reasonable price.

MODELER- POSITIVE GRID Spark Pedal Amp & Effects___NEW ___ for Prince or Pauper

 Positive Grid Spark PEDAL 
$200.00 USD
A portable hands on budget Amp & Effects rig for 
the mobile player. Very much like the Line6 POD. 
The hands on Layout is Gain, Modulation, Volume, Delay and Reverb.         
CONCLUSION __ 
Being an early pioneer of budget Modeled 
amps that sold at analog pedal prices it 
was both impressive yet stuck in a category 
of 'great but not pro'. The thing is the sounds are indistinguishable from even some of 
the top line Modelers. So use with any idiom is 
possible both on its own or on a pedalboard.
