New from ZVex! Gentlemen/women, start your engines. This pedal is so dangerous that I’m sure I’ll be getting a lot of complaint emails that people have blown up their amps using it. So let’s just start this off by saying I WARNED YOU TO BE CAREFUL. When using this pedal, start off slow, and monitor your amp for potential damage. Don’t have too much fun! OK, have too much fun, but don’t blow up your amp in the process. Unless that’s what you want, of course, and well, gosh darn it, it’s your right. Good ol’ Pete Townsend did it. Well, at least he poked his speakers out.
New from Dr. Z Amps! You asked for for it and we listened…Introducing the fully enclosed Brake Lite SA (Stand Alone.) Same guts as the combo mount Brake Lite, but able to be tossed in the gig bag for use with many different amps on the fly. The Brake Lite SA works with any tube amp up to 45 watts and can be used with 4, 8, or 16, ohm loads. The SA features 2 speaker outs that are wired in parallel. You can now run multiple cabs with ease.
New from MI Audio! The classic de-facto standard for guitar compressors is of course the Ross pedal. The response of this pedal is very different to a studio compressor, but it just works! Technically, this design is a limiter, as oppsed to a compressor. There are many ingredients. which go into making that pedal work, but the most significant of these is the control signal, full wave rectified by transistors. So by basing the MI Effects Compressor on the same principle, I was able to start with a familiar feel.
