Electro-Harmonix Busts Out With Two New Pedals… Specs Would Be Nice

24. May 2007

Well, with no fanfare whatsoever Electro-Harmonix has added two new guitar effects pedals to their line-up––what appears to be a nano-sized reissue of the classic ’70s Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer, and something called the #1 Echo. Unfortunately, in usual Electro-Harmonix fashion, specs are pretty much nonexistent, so it’s not even apparent whether the new Soul Preacher [...]

OK, we had a bit of fun at BOSS & Fender’s expense when they first announced their two new “classic tube-amps in a box” back in January, but to the duo’s credit, while it will certainly never take the place of a vintage Bassman amplifier, the ’59 Bassman pedal turned out to be a decent [...]

While researching some of the more recent tube-driven distortion pedals to hit the market, I came across this video review of Seymour Duncan’s Twin Tube Classic––a dual-channel overdrive pedal boasting a pair of American made Phillips-Sylvania 6021 dual triode tubes, true bypass circuitry, and what’s apparently a seriously road-worthy steel chassis. Now, I’ve owned a [...]

Well, if you frequent the popular guitar forums you’ve probably noticed there’s been a lot of conflicting opinion on whether Electro-Harmonix’s new Hum DeBugger effects pedal truly lives up to the company’s hype of “Dead silence in your signal chain.” Not being one to shy away from opinion, I figured it was time to put [...]

At this year’s Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, Line 6, arguably the world’s top manufacturer of digital modeling gear, updated its line of multi-effects/modeling pedals with the introduction of their new Floor POD Plus––billed as a single “road-ready” unit to cover all of your guitar’s signal processing needs. The Floor POD Plus apparently builds on [...]

Death By Audio Unleashes Interstellar Overdriver Supreme

Death By Audio today announced the release of its latest 100% analog overdrive creation––the divinely titled Interstellar Overdriver Supreme. Apparently an evolutionary step up from the exceedingly simple Interstellar Overdriver pedal, the new Interstellar Overdriver Supreme features two independent channels: one that pumps out classic old-school overdrive tones, the other one capable of producing six [...]

If you’ve been looking for an authentic, over the top tube distortion tone, but aren’t necessarily in the position to plunk down a small fortune on that menacing wall-o-Marshalls, you might want to check out Guitar Player’s recent review of three Vox CoolTron pedals––the Big Ben Overdrive, Brit Boost, and Bulldog Distortion. I’ve been eyeing [...]

A Tantalizing Look At The Electro Harmonix Hum Debugger

13. March 2007

As a long time fan of Electro-Harmonix (not to mention the fact that I live in a 100-year-old house with really funky wiring,) I was more than a little intrigued last year when the company announced their new hum eliminator––the aptly titled Hum Debugger. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled ever since for a good [...]
