OVERDRIVE- DEAD AIR Vertical Inputs ___NEW___Marshall JCM800-in-a-Box

$150.00 USD

DEAD AIR

VERTICAL INPUTS  

 

A MIAB. The layout is Level ...Pre & Post, Bass Mids 

and Treble. 3 toggles Depth, Bright and Input.

CONCLUSION __

No doubt you can get some serious noises from it. 

I would love to hear a better demo with a guy just 

playing thru a clean amp and performing a couple 

of classic tunes an 800 was used in with riffs, power chords & a short solo. The vids are near Shoegaze 

or other pedals and amps set to god knows what.  

The price however is more than fair.

OVERDRIVE- MR BLACK Cat__NEW ___ Balzy RAT clone

$150.00 USD

MR. BLACK

 CAT  

 

Yet another RAT pedal. Nothing earth shattering. Like all of 

the 'Black' pedals it is well made and reasonably priced for 

what you get. The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. 

              __

      CONCLUSION __ 

The pedal once again being a 'Black' has an 

earthy character. A RAT like this is a hardclipper 

but this is indeed more Cat than Rat as it has its 

own vibe. In short a nice high gain punchy OD.

CLIPPER- RECOVERY FX & DEVICES Clipping ___NEW___ damn clever invention

RECOVERY 

EFFECTS & DEVICES

 CLIPPING 

$145.00 USD

I will be straight up & honest. I thought at first hearing about this

it was a cheap gimmick & a total con. In fact laughable. OOPS!

If you are a Fuzz guy you may know that a Germanium Fuzz can sound  

fat and warm and its rich overtones give the treble content dancing 

overtones and rich harmonics. This box simply puts clipping diodes 

across the input signal. There is not any  preamp section to crank the 

signal so it doesn't need  electricity.  A toggle lets you choose between 

a 1N270 or a 1N34A Germanium diode to clip input signal.

CONCLUSION ___

Even going straight into a clean amp gives you a very transparent 

sound with a nice fat breadth to the signal and a bit of bite that 

is very pleasing. The price is a bit of an ouch. I can not help to 

think half of it, perhaps $75 would be fair.

MULTI FX- BOSS EX-4 Effects Expander___ NEW ___ too late? or thank god!!!

BOSS EX-4  

EFFECTS EXPANDER   

$330.00 USD

Is it too little too late or is it thank god we 

have a simple, reliable bulletproof all in one 

affordable complete package to team up with one of the new killer but cheap modelers for 

an amp or to add to our carefully chosen 

gourmet dirt pedals.

It has 128 sounds with 128 memories. 

Delays and Reverbs plus all the classic 

Boss Dirt pedals, Modulation Effects 

plus even those less used FX. With 

4 loaded in at a time you have 

a tune covered. 

 CONCLUSION __  

Other companies no matter how good do 

not have pedal sounds that are so good 

that they have been made for decades. 

You simply get 'the best of'. Add to that 

there are always a buyer for an old Boss 

pedal. This pedal will be a big seller!!!

You might recall the Plugout-FX with its 16 FX & the scheme to get you to buy it and pay to download  more sounds had the YouTubers go ballistic as simply a big con. I was half expecting Boss to wait a year & bring out a more typical pedal with these sounds in  it, and it does have them.  All the extras are a form of apology.😇LOL

FUZZ- COSMODIO INSTRUMENTS Glitch Witch ... MOSFET Fuzz

C O S M O D I O   I N S T R U M E N T S

GLITCH WITCH    

$280.00 USD

The heart of this is MOSFETS. Often referred to as just a FET.

A FET is a transistor that can be used to emulate a tube. However by adding diodes or simply overloading the 

input it can turn the sound into a Fuzz. In fact so much as 

to head into Tone Bender territory or beyond.

The layout is Volume, Treble, Bass, Gate and Gain. Divide, 

Division and Depth scramble the sound but give you enough 

control to keep musical enough to play a tune or to go into 

Star Wars or Shoegaze city. 

             CONCLUSION __

An impressive mix of controlled and musical sound 

and any level of of chaos. A one size fits all with 

both the benefits and rather obvious handicaps 

all such pedals have.

OVERDRIVE- FINDING THAT TONE Japan 1986 ___NEW ___accurate Ibanez TS10 clone

 Finding That Tone 

$240.00 USD

 JAPAN 1986 

From Spain comes a small boutique pedal builder  

with a take of the SRV fave the Ibanez TS10. It uses 

an original NOS JRC 5558D OpAmp. It is offered in 

several Japanese motifs over the familiar Ibanez 

shaped casing. 

      CONCLUSION __

What can I say? It is what it is. That said 

check out the new Tone City Green Tube.

An impressive TS10 with a toggle to 

switch on a very good biting 

SRV voicing.
