Just a quick note for the vintage effects freaks out there––over on YouTube Avi Bortnick & Michael Leonhart have posted a short clip of the new Electro-Harmonix Germanium OD in action, and it sounds pretty much like you’d expect… a little bit sweet, a little bit raunchy, and a whole lot of old-school overdrive. Would have [...]

Word on the street has it that ProTone Pedals––makers of some of the world’s most wonderfully raunchy guitar effects––will be unveiling at least three new pedals at the upcoming Winter NAMM 2008 show in Anaheim.

OK, so we’ve got our TriBooster Kit from the good folks at Build Your Own Clone, and I’m happy to say they threw in a few extras as well (who doesn’t like extras?) Yeah, it’s cheapy promo stuff, but still fun: two guitar picks with the BYOC “Cloned” Sheep logo printed on them, and a [...]
