FUZZ- JHS PEDALS Muffuletta ... all the Muffs-in-one Box.

$250.00 USD
JHS PEDALS
MUFFULETTA

That's right! You get most of them. The layout tells the story. 
You get Volume, Tone, Gain & then a rotary switch with 1973 
Rams Head, 1969 Triangle, 1977 The PI, 1999 The Russian, 
1991 The Civil War, and the 2015 JHS Mode.
___CONCLUSION ___
Ten years and still a hugely popular pedal. 
You can pick a favorite or 2 or like me use 
what fits the tune and end up using 3 or 4. 
Since you are paying $42 for each version 
the price is good!

OVERDRIVE- TONECAT Luna Drive... MIAB is let out of the box?


TONECAT
$160.00 USD
Luna Drive · 
Another offering by the Melbourne Australian company 
that makes the expected unexpected but with a usable 
twist. This is they claim is a take on a MIAB. 
More specifically a Marshall JCM 800?
The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble, Mids and Bass.
    __CONCLUSION ___ 
Perhaps saying it is a JCM 800 is a 
stretch but there are indeed a few 
good tones in this pedal from low 
Gain to Crunch sounds. It has a lot 
of character. I really like it.

DELAY- ASHEVILLE MUSIC TOOLS AMT Analoger ADG-1 ...state of the art Analog Delay

$400.00 USD
AMT   ASHVILLE MUSIC TOOLS
Analoger ADG-1
A totally old school Analog Delay brought into the present. 
You get up to 700 ms delay, modulation and EQ. The layout 
has 9 controls so I will let the video show you what all the 
bells and whistles do.
           ___ CONCLUSION ___
Digital has its place but Analog Delays 
never compete with your guitar. 
They just act as a frame & your playing 
gets all the attention. This is the best!!!
$$$? ___Yes indeed the $ !!! 
Oddly enough ...it's worth it.

...a NUX DCP-Analog Delay. It is a replica/clone of the  
infamous Ibanez AD-80 right down to using the 
same BBD chips. Basic but sounds killer. $60.00 USD!

___FENDER TWEED___OVERVIEW

 ·FENDER TWEED· 

REVERB- WALRUS AUDIO Lum ___NEW ___ ambience reverb for ambience haters

WALRUS AUDIO 
LUM  ·
$280.00 USD
Nothing new. You get all the filter and modulation tricks and a 
momentary to hold and sustain the tails of your whole notes etc.
The layout is Decay, Filter, Mix, X, Stretch and a toggle for 3 
different voicing's.
    CONCLUSION __
My major beef is that all these units need to have an always 
on Plate or Spring you can get with one tap of the switch. 
Nothing sounds more weird then turning off some StarWars 
sound and going to a bone dry no Verb sound. 
All the sounds are based off of a faux Plate Reverb. A Plate  
is the all you need always on Verb. Simply ask Dave Gilmour. 
I have zero argument with the Lum's perfect Plate it is both 
the best for that desirable all you need Verb.
The bottom line is the overall tone of this box is exceptional plus!!! 
Would I buy one? There others as effective for $100 less.

...it is in stereo. It has specs. The memory has
100 Presets, It has a screen, it is so user friendly 
you can skip the users guide... it can download updates
...the Mooer Meta FX  ....$170.00 USD

FUZZ- JDM PEDALS Sunn Haze.. Psych-in-a-box

$230.00 USD
JDM PEDALS
SUNN HAZE
A Fuzz called the Sunn Buzz was likely influenced of the Jordon Buzz Tone 
having arrived a year after it. That said it did have its own vibe sound having used 3 transistors. It made its mark in the San Francisco scene having been used by Big Brother & the Holding Co.  JDM has cloned a pedal of it called the Sunn Haze. The layout is simple with just the usual Volume, Tone and Gain.
     ___ CONCLUSION ____
It definitely has a Tone Bender V.2 vibe as it too uses 
3 transistors. It pushes past the Bender with much 
more glitching and drop outs. That certainly fit the 
era with the whole Psychedelic thing.


REVERB- MOOER Meta Effects ___NEW___ do you NEED more?

 MOOER|
META FX  
$170.00 USD
Basically a digital Reverb with classic and modern ambient reverb sounds and a few Delays and Modulators with a hold
 
feature on a second footswitch. The layout is intuitive but 
the videos gets you up and to speed quickly. 
      ___ CONCLUSION ___
The spec needed for convincing sounds is now 
10 years old. Chips that old are old enough to 
be cheap. So these days everything is good & it 
gets down to features & the programmers that 
have an ear for what sounds great or what is 
passable but disappointing. Mooers recent 
track record for checking the right boxes 
at a reasonable price is damn impressive.
