PHASER/CHORUS- CATALINBREAD EFFECTS X/F (Proto6)___NEW___hybrid modulation

CATALINBREAD  EFFECTS

$210.00 USD

PROTO  CLUB

X/F (Proto 6) 

It is a simple concept. All the low frequencies go 

through a Chorus and all the highs go through 

a Phaser.

The layout is Rate, Depth, Mix and K/F a Tone 

control that interreacts to sound right as you 

blend the two voices. 

     CONCLUSION __

There is nothing to compare it to. You use 

it how with trial and error it fits. The unit 

is a Limited Edition that will be pulled 

on June 12.

CHORUS- MAESTRO Comet Chorus ... is it a re-invention of their 60's Phase Shifter ???

COMET CHORUS

$60.00 USD
Sweetwater price

In the late 60's Maestro made a very early tech Phaser not so 

unlike the 1974 MXR Phase 45 that is still in production. The 

old Maestro was meant to give the player a Rotary speaker 

vibe. I bought one myself because of that. The Comet uses 

a Chorus topography to do that but better. The layout is Depth, 

Speed and Mix with Toggle to switch from Chorus to Rotary.

     CONCLUSION __

Yes these days you can get really convincing Rotary 

effects and Phasers that swish like a jet engine. But 

for a vocal accompanying type sound this is killer. 

It gives you a wall/blanket of sound that lays back 

in the mix but never disappears whether you use

Chorus or its very pleasing Rotary. So is the new price!!!   

     NOTE:  

Prices were 3 times and on some sites still are. One site said 'discontinued'.

Amazon took me to a Maestro on-line site with the cheap price. I suspect 

Maestro have moved to direct sales plus a key store or 2 in each country.

OVERDRIVE- WALRUS AUDIO Fundamental Drive ...damn impressive!!

$85.00 USD

WALRUS AUDIO

FUNDAMENTAL

DRIVE 

Walrus does not say but at the price it has to be a hardclipper 

OpAmp clipping diodes pedal like many of the Boss pedals or 

even starting out with the Rat.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain with a 3 way switch 

to choose from 3 different voices.    

<> <> <>

    CONCLUSION __

The 3 voices are very usable. The crunch however 

is its workhorse and is worth the price of the pedal.

SNEAK PEAK ____GIGAGAIN EFFECTS ____ 3 OF THEM!!! ____5 more to come!!!

GIGAGAIN PEDALS    

AS ALWAYS  

I will review each of the 8 separately  

when they pop up.

OD- CAT'S FACTORY AT-2220 81-110 Distortion ___NEW ___AKRIA TAKASAKU Signature

$748.00 USD
not a typo

CAT'S FACTORY

AT-2220 81--110 Distortion

>>> Did you read the price & growl WTF! >>> I repeat, WTF ???

The spec is non-existent ??? The layout is Volume, Tone and 

Gain. A toggle gives you 3 different gain stages.

           CONCLUSION ___

It sounds killer!!!

Is it worth $748.00 USD? No but it was not meant to 

sell. It is a marketing scheme. With millions of pedal 

buyers the wealthy will buy one as a paper weight to 

put on their $10.000 desk and hold it up to their

friends that like them are hobbyist players & boast. 

Maybe a few hundred will sell and then it will be mysteriously sold out. 

In the real world we will all take that $748.00 USD 

and buy an incredible excellent guitar. 

OVERDRIVE- MEZZABARBA CUSTOM AMPLIFICATION Bluestorm ___NEW___ Che bello!

$350.00 USD

MEZZABARBA CUSTOM AMPLIFICATION

BLUESTORM

Pierangelo Mezzabarba  started his company in 1998. 

The main products are big 'bucks' high gain classic 

Brit style amps. 

They make a couple of pedals. This is Blues Rock player 

Eric Steckel's high gain signature OD.

The layout is Volume, Gain and Tone.

    CONCLUSION ___

The pedal's supposed voice is to capture his 

amps sound. Other then that I can not find any 

info. The pedal has a BOSS Blues Driver vibe.   

...the $40.00 USD Joyo Bright Day is a killer take on the Boss.
