GRAPHIC EQ- JOYO 6 Band Equalizer ...6 years as a best seller

$35.00 USD

  JOYO  

  6  BAND  EQUALIZER ||| 

Joyo were one of the first to literally clone pedals. Some were

good but not always impressive. Others like this are 6 years old 

& are still a bestseller. They have fans that have had them on their boards all six years. It is very accurate clone of the MXR Six Band EQ.

   __ CONCLUSION __

The Joyo was based off of V.1 of the MXR. Current 

MXR EQ's are V.2. Both MXR versions have a mild

distortion but the old ones had a sweeter tone.

In short the Joyo has that sweet tone. 

The price on AliExpress includes free shipping says "buy me, buy me"! 

OD- DAVID ROSS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Summer Heat Guitar Pedal __NEW__ WTF!!!

$200.00 USD

David Ross MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

SUMMER HEAT | 

I am glad young Dave put the words Guitar Pedal in the title 

of his little masterpiece. Now right away we we know he is 

a pretentious git or a ...😕.

The layout is Volume, Gain and instead of Treble and Bass 

we get 2 toggles with fixed EQ's. More pretense?  If you for 

example choose 1K for some poke and you want to lower 

a pot for a Tube Screamer boost. You can't.

   CONCLUSION __

My guess is it is a medium gain 

OpAmp OD with ohmage to a 

Tube Screamer. Yawn,😶.

MY MONTHLY RANT

WTF...the new modelers are cheaper than a than last years price for a tank of gas! But today once I fill the tank I can't even afford them!!!

TIME OUT

Last month was top heavy with multi-effect/ digital amp simulators which either Model, Capture or use NAM. The new NUX MG50 li uses all 3. The Livtra Music Velrix is $45. The NUX with it all is under $500 and the Adota AME 200 that is a full size full featured unit is only $130. They all share a common thing. After a simple  listen the very cheapest and the most pricy sounded the same. To hear a guy play the cheapest at a club or on a band recording you would not know if you were hearing a $200 dollar or 2 thousand dollar sound!!! 

I simply have to laugh when I think that a great player with a 70 guitar old tube amp and guitar can make most of us look like beginners, gets a better sound and their gear is worth 10 times what they paid for it. Next year their gear will be worth even more but todays gear will be worth only a smile. 

Benjamin Franklin who played the guitar said that people these days know the price of everything 

but the value of nothing. 

TOYS FOR THE OLDER BOYS

Some old, some new, all cool !!!

REVERB- MR. BLACK LTD. Challenger Deep___NEW___ classic plate reverb

MR. BLACK BLACK LTD.

 CHALLENGER DEEP 

$200.00 USD

JacK DeVille has been making pedals since 2012. In those 

days guys like Josh Scott/JHS were regularly on the phone 

to ask Jack to solve their design problems. His pedals are 

aimed at the gigging club player who needs a pedal to do 

2 things. Sound good on any tune new or old and to get  

the crap knocked out of it and be able to take any abuse. 

The ideal Reverb sound is a Plate Reverb. It sounds good  

on everything. It can easily be your part of your always 

on sound. 

              __  CONCLUSION __

My kind of Reverb. I prefer an Analog 

Delay pushed back for any ambience 

space in my sound. This would make 

the perfect pair.
