DELAY- JHS PEDALS The Milkman ___RE-ISSUE ___a slap echo/boost

JHS PEDALS

MILKMAN Delay

$180.00 USD

Why would you want a pedal that only made one single echo??? I have to mention from the get go I have an old

Analog Delay that I use for just that. The big deal is not that it adds an earthy ambience to your sound. It does but the really big deal is it fattens!!! 
Yes it fattens your sound substantially. It also melts into your guitar sound when using dirt to the point you can put it through another Delay and it does not sound like a delay going through a Delay but just a fat guitar sound.  

 

CONCLUSION __  

It is a nice enough pedal but most analog 

Delays will do the job. Not only that if you 

are only going to use it for a single repeat 

than do what I did and use a cheap 

mini pedal. Eight years ago I bought a 

Mighty Sound M5 Delay for $24.00 USD. 

 

REVERB/TREMOLO- SOURCE AUDIO Pathways ___NEW ___ compact and complete

$350.00 USD

SOURCE AUDIO

PATHWAYS  REVERB & TREMOLO 

The quality of Source Audio is a given. They took the classic concept seen most in the old Fender amps of a Spring Reverb and a Tremolo effect and expanded having only Spring Reverb to include Hall, Plate, Regen, Tank then added an Echo and Slap Back. With Tremolo you 

get both Harmonic and Opto. You can store your sounds in 16 

memory banks.

      CONCLUSION ___

Everything is covered from all the timeless sounds 

used over the last 75 years. It is all in a good looking

compact enclosure. 

FUZZ- STRYMON Canoga Fuzz ___NEW ___analog Fuzz Face clone from King Digital

$200.00 USD

strymon

  CANOGA  

Yes folks an analog Fuzz Face from the the King of digital. 

Their site lays on the accolades of it with a trowel but it 

is just a 2 knob Gain and Level Fuzz Face, LOL. 

       ___

   CONCLUSION ___

Times are tough all over, LOL. Nothing wrong 

with it as good as most but so are Chinese 

budget Fuzz pedals at $50 plus or minus 

a few dollars.

thefineprint 

A Fuzz Face is a modified Tonebender Mk1.5 ...If you get crazy  about heritage the Joyo 

appears to be a Tone Bender Mk4. but its all the same family. I own the Joyo. 

The Joyo is $40.00 USD ...Do I need to say more??? 

CHORUS- BEETRONICS PEDALS Seabee Lite ___NEW ___ best of...

$350.00 USD

B E E T R O N I C S

SEE BEE  LITE

A basic Chorus in so far as the Shoe Gaze 

and Star Wars bells and whistles AKA 

features are not part of it. I will leave the 

layout to the videos or I will have to write 

a manual, 😇

     CONCLUSION __

Even the Lite is pricy. One has to pay 

for all the artwork no mater what their 

pedal. Today You get Green or Pink.

  

OVERDRIVE- EMMA ELECTRONIC Onomatopoeia ...14 years old & still selling

$190.00 USD

 EMMA E L E C T R O N I C

OnoMATOpoeia 

This made in Denmark is an early take on a Tweed like 

Amp-in-a-box. The layout is Volume,Tone, Gain and

Saturation (which is compression via more gain)

     CONCLUSION __ 

It does a very good job of a Tweed thing.

Its dated double sized pedal is a drag. All 

their pedals need an enclosure update.

Priced $60 cheaper than most good 

handmade so if the size is cool 

with you then WTF. 

OVERDRIVE- MUIR AUDIO DESIGNS Silicon Steel Overdrive ...transformers do ???

 MUIR AUDIO DESIGN

SILICON STEEL

  overdrive ᓇ 

$265.00 USD

The electric guitar started life being amplified by tubes so the 

vocabulary like any instrument was developed by a their tone. 

In short a tuba does not play violin parts, it just wouldn't sound 

good, lol. The tubes themselves distorting the harmonics is the 

big factor but it is the transformers especially the huge heavy 

one on the output that is the icing on the cake.

It it is not a big jump to create that harmonic kick in the butt 

putting a small transformer in a pedal to add more harmonic 

boost. Rupert Neve put them in his famous boards for just this 

purpose. In fact one for every channel to vary the crunch.

Muir's first pedal was a transformer pre/EQ before he added the 

extra gain found in a pedal. 

The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble and Bass.

     CONCLUSION __

If it were not for the transformer this pedal would 

be near totally transparent. Love it or not??? 

It is damn effective.

Bogner had Rupert Neve design him the Lynhurst Compressor. 

Amazing but at $100 more than a Keeley it did not sell at all and 

was discontinued after just one year but was offered for3 years 

to get rid of the pedals. Too bad as it is totally 110% killer!!!
