ROTARY- DAWNER PRINCE Pulse Revolving Speaker Emulator....exceptional !!!

 DAWNER PRINCE ELECTRONICS

 PULSE  REVOLVING SPEAKER EMULATOR

$340.00 USD

A Rotary speaker pedal based on mechanical units made by Dopola Pulse and the Maestro's Rover RO-2. (see below) I 

will not copy out the manuals, LOL. So check out the videos.

      CONCLUSION ___

Recently a few makers have made pedals including BOSS. That said most focus on emulating the Leslies speaker cab. The cheapest is JHL Series 3 Rotary Chorus. The best value is the $240.00 USD BOSS Rotary Ensemble because it has all the features for the least money. Then there is the Yamaha RA -200 that Drawmer has also done as the Eclipsa which I have an April 29th Post of it.

DELAY- TC ELECTRONIC Echobrain ...9 years on and still valid!

Echobrain ANALOG DELAY

$40.00 USD

The owner of TC. is  Behringer and this is their answer to the complaint 

that Behringer makes plastic copies of other makers pedals. So this analog delay is not a direct clone of anything. It is well made with in a sturdy steel box with reliable parts The parts are hardly audiophile so not every pedal in the line is great. A few will surprise you. The layout is a basic Time, Mix & Repeats. 

     CONCLUSION ___

It has a basic old school 300 ms of delay unlike

modern units with twice. Capable of acting as a 

faux reverb when pulled back. It handles classic 

background echoes for a solo well. I personally 

NEVER need more than it does. It is not a Star Wars/

Shoegaze gadget. For lack of comparison it leans 

towards an electro-harmonix sound. It has just 

basic features & perhaps just a bit of raw & edgy tone.

It sounds totally pro & is the best in its price range.

OVERDRIVE- ICEBERG EFFECTS STRIJP-S___NEW ___released today!

ICEBERG EFFECTS 

STRIJP-S     ||| 

$150.00 USD

It is described as a Greer Lightspeed coupled with their Southland. 

A lot of blah blah bull. It is a V.1 Timmy with added gain. Just look 

under the hood.

The layout is Volume, Gain and Tone (in spite of the pretentious 

labeling on the box). A toggle gives you 2 extra stages of light & 

medium gain.           

         CONCLUSION __

WTF ...a lot of cork sniffing verbal fluctuance that 

no one needs to sell a very basic clone. We have 

one video & it is in the ballpark of the decades old 

v.1 Timmy. Buy the USD Caline Pure Sky a very, 

very accurate clone of the first Timmy.

DELAY- FENDER Mirror Image Delay ...bulls eye!!!

F E N D E R

 MIRROR IMAGE DELAY 

$230.00 USD

Time goes by. This pedal is 8 years old. About the time when

chips that put Strymon on the map became cheaper as another generation had replaced them so those chips became yesterday's chips which allowed the mid priced pedals like this Fender to sound like Strymon pedals. 

      CONCLUSION ___

This is not an ambient style pedal. We get the basics,

Tape sounds, analog sounds and a good basic digital sound. Modulation is needed to emulate Tape sounds so Fender

has extended its range to add chorus sounds to any

voice you pick.

The bottom line is Strymon like quality for a price 

many new Fuzz or Overdrives now cost.

DELAY- JOYO JF-33 Analog Delay ...MXR-118 clone ...surprisingly good!!!

JOYO  JF-33 

AnalogDelay

A take on the MXR-118 Analog Delay. A monster pedal that

plugged right into a wall socket. It was made from 1976 to

1984.The layout is Time, Mix and Repeat.

        

$35.00 USD

        CONCLUSION ___

The MXR is very organic and a just a bit raspy compared 

to the smaller pedals that we discuss more as the classics. 

Those however were pedals of the 80's from Maxon/Ibanez 

and Boss. It was however on a lot of records over its time. 

The MXR-118 was replaced by the MXR Time Delay. It was 

an instant flop, As for the Joyo there are no comparison 

videos. It was not until 2008 that MXR made the Carbon 

Copy. In short the Joyo is MXR-ish but not enough to call it 

a clone. The important thing is it has a Pro sound and is on 

a lot of boards. You get a lot of pedal for your $36.  

...Class! Dismissed

$160.00 USD

SILIFACE  

__________________________

A good ol' very to the point Fuzz Face clone from

Manchester UK. I love the simple graphics taken 

straight of the round casing original. The layout 

is Volume, Gain & BIAS.

           CONCLUSION ___

Nothing really new It is just a straight to  

the point clone with no beep ups or 

major surgerys.  

It is like that old hammer in your toolbox.  

Not too exciting but does the job every 

time. Rough and ready!!!
