See The BOSS/Fender ’59 Bassman Pedal In Action

21. February 2007

When BOSS & Fender announced their new ’59 Bassman pedal last month I greeted it with more than a bit of skepticism… to be honest, as a dyed-in-the-wool vintage tube-amp fiend I actually found the whole idea rather unsavory. Not that I begrudge anyone for wanting to get some of that classic tone without shelling [...]

It’s all fine and well that there are literally thousands of stomp-boxes and rack-mount effects available for guitar players these days, but try to find a brick & mortar retailer who actually carries a decent array of them––you know, so you can actually take one for a test drive––and you’ll find yourself SOL.

’59 Fender Bassman In A Box… Am I The Only One Scared, Here?!

19. January 2007

OK, really, I’m the farthest thing from a Luddite folks––I’m a computer professional and blogger for gawd’s sake––but this move towards ‘digital everything’ is really starting to get on my analog-lovin’ nerves. Yesterday I discovered Fender’s new digital modeling Stratocaster, and this morning I got an e-mail from BOSS pointing me towards another new Fender/Roland [...]

Liquid Tones, Vintage Good Looks, 100% Tube Signal Path The Tube-Vibe is Effectrode’s homage to the classic––some would say historic––Shiftee U-915 Uni-Vibe pedal, which was first introduced to the U.S. back in ’69, and went on to gain legendary status at the hands of many great guitar players, perhaps most notably Jimi Hendrix, who was [...]
