Die nächsten Folgen dieser Kolumne basieren auf einer Frage von G&B-Leser Ralph Müller-Domke. Ralph berichtet, dass er seinen MXR Dyna Comp zwar sehr schätzt, aber die Nebengeräusche v. a. im Vergleich zum Dyna-Comp-Bausatz von uk-electronic sehr störend findet.

The Dyna Comp Compressor is one of the most popular compressors of all time. Whether you want to tighten up your signal, add rich sustain, or create the percussive and clicky sound heard on numerous hit records, this pedal is straightforward and easy to use. For these reasons, the Dyna Comp Compressor has been the secret weapon on countless pedalboards for years.

Das SD-1 Super OverDrive-Pedal erzeugt die warme, natürliche Verzerrung eines übersteuerten Röhrenverstärkers und behält dabei die subtilen Nuancen der Zupftechnik eines Spielers bei. Dies ist eines der subtileren und sanfteren Overdrive-Pedale von BOSS, perfekt für Blues und Rock.

The SD-1 Super OverDrive pedal produces the warm, natural distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier while maintaining the subtle nuances of a player's picking technique. This is one of BOSS' more subtle and smooth overdrive pedals, perfect for blues and rock.

Der TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Pedal Tuner ist ein absolutes Must Have für jeden Gitarristen. Mithilfe der polyphonen Tuning-Engine lassen sich alle Saiten der E-Gitarre gleichzeitig und präzise stimmen. Insbesondere Gitarren mit Tremolo-System sind mittels der polyphonen Funktion leichter zu kontrollieren: Das Spannungsverhältnis aller Saiten zueinander wird sichtbar und die Beeinflussung der übrigen Saiten, wenn man eine Saite stimmt. Darüber hinaus stehen ein klassischer Einzelton-Modus mit Nadelanezeige und ein extrem exakter Stroboskop-Modus mit +/- 1 cent Genauigkeit zur Verfügung. Auch Freunde von Drop- und Open-Tunings kommen mit den passenden Einstellungen auf ihre Kosten. Dank der extrem hellen und großen LED-Anzeige ist der TC Polytune 2 auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen perfekt ablesbar. Als Extra bietet der TC Electronic Polytune 2 außerdem einen 9V-Ausgang zur Stromversorgung weiterer Effektgeräte auf dem Pedalboard.

The TC Electronic PolyTune 2 pedal tuner is an absolute must-have for every guitarist. With the help of the polyphonic tuning engine, all strings of the electric guitar can be tuned simultaneously and precisely. Guitars with a tremolo system in particular are easier to control using the polyphonic function: The tension ratio of all strings to each other becomes visible and the influence on the other strings when one string is tuned. In addition, a classic single-note mode with needle display and an extremely precise strobe mode with +/- 1 cent accuracy are available. Friends of drop and open tunings will also get their money's worth with the appropriate settings. Thanks to the extremely bright and large LED display, the TC Polytune 2 is perfectly legible even in poor lighting conditions. As an extra, the TC Electronic Polytune 2 also offers a 9V output for powering other effects devices on the pedalboard.

Der NS-2 eignet sich hervorragend, um Signal-Rauschen und lästige Brummgeräusche zu eliminieren, wobei der Klangcharakter des originalen Eingangssignals unberührt bleibt. Attack und Hüllkurve des Signals werden in keinster Weise beeinträchtigt, dank eines von BOSS entwickelten, einzigartigen Noise Detection-Schaltkreises, der den Gitarrenklang präzise von sämtlichen Störgeräuschen zu separieren vermag.

The NS-2 Noise Suppressor eliminates unwanted noise and hum without altering an instrument's natural tone. It's the perfect pedal to quiet down any pedalboard or effects setup.

Der EHX Little Big Muff Pi ist identisch mit unserem Big Muff Pi, aber kleiner. Wir haben den klassischen Big Muff-Schaltkreis genommen und ihn einfach geschrumpft, ohne den süßen, geigenartigen Sustain-Sound zu verändern. Dieser kleine Bruder trägt sein Erbe mit Stolz zur Schau.

Das BOSS DS-2 Turbo Distortion ist eine Weiterentwicklung des klassischen DS-1 Sounds.
Es bietet zwei wählbare Modi, die unterschiedliche Verzerrungscharaktere für Rhythmus und Lead liefern. Modus I erzeugt eine warme und gleichmäßige Verzerrung, ideal für Akkorde und Basis-Sounds.
Modus II hebt die Mitten an und sorgt für durchsetzungsfähige Soloklänge. Über die Remote-Buchse lässt sich der Modus mit einem externen Fußschalter umschalten. Das robuste Kompaktgehäuse macht es zuverlässig für Bühne und Studio.

The BOSS DS-2 Turbo Distortion delivers a powerful evolution of the classic DS-1 sound. It offers two selectable modes that provide distinct distortion voices for rhythm and lead playing. Mode I delivers a warm and even distortion ideal for chords and general drive tones. Mode II boosts the mids for sharper attack and solo tones that cut through a mix. The pedal includes a remote jack to switch modes using an external footswitch. Its rugged compact design makes it reliable for both stage and studio use.

The beauty of the RAT2 lies in its versatility.  Used as a primary distortion, it excels at arena rock rhythm tones and soaring leads.  Do you have a powerful amp with too much headroom for the gig?  Let the RAT2 be your dirty channel.  Maybe you already love your amp’s distortion.  Use the RAT2 as a boost for solos and get the extra kick you need.
The RAT2 features the legendary RAT filter control.  Turn it to the right to roll off brittle high-end frequencies.  Having trouble cutting through the mix?  Turn it to the left and allow the natural brightness of your instrument to shine through.

Zurück aufgrund überwältigender Nachfrage… im Mini-Paket! Der Kultklassiker „Green Russian Big Muff“ sorgte erstmals Mitte der 1990er Jahre für Aufsehen. Seitdem wird es von Gitarristen und Bassisten für seinen verheerenden Bass und sein einzigartiges Schlamm- und Brutzeln gelobt. Der EHX Green Russian Big Muff erzeugt einen gewaltigen Klang, der ganz für sich ist, aber unbestreitbar Big Muff ist.

Back by overwhelming demand… in a mini package! The cult classic Green Russian Big Muff first shook the ground in the mid-1990s. Since then it has been heralded by guitarists and bassists for its devastating low-end and unique sludge and sizzle. The EHX Green Russian Big Muff creates a huge tone that is all its own, but is undeniably Big Muff.

Mit dem Harley Benton Power Plant ISO-2 Pro hat die Thomann-Hausmarke eine Mehrfach-Stromversorgung für Effektpedale im Portfolio, die insgesamt 2000 mA an Strom liefern kann und somit sehr gut für hungrige Digitalpedale geeignet ist. Die Ausgänge sind alle galvanisch voneinander getrennt, dazu ist das Gerät auch noch klein und leicht.

No matter how great the effects on your pedal board are: If the power supply is not up to the job, your set-up is a ticking time bomb. To guard against nasty surprises in the practice room and on stage, we developed the PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro. This multi-output PSU offers you 8 isolated, filtered and short-circuit-protected power outputs for your effect pedals that eliminate noise and hum. Each output has its own status LED. Two outputs deliver 9/12/18 V DC at max. 500 mA, while the remaining six outputs offer 9 V DC at max. 300 mA (individually isolated). A comprehensive assortment of cables is also included: Eight single cables (60 cm in length, 5.5 x 2.1 mm coaxial plug on both ends) and one Y-cable (voltage doubler, 30 cm in length, one 5.5 x 2.1 mm coaxial plug on one end, two 5.5 x 2.1 mm coaxial plugs on the other end).

The MXR Micro Amp level booster pedal lets you take control of your volume level before your signal goes to the amp! Boost your signal for leads and switch it on when you need it. Use the Micro Amp to match the output levels of your humbucker-equipped guitar and your single-coil axe. Push your tube amp into that golden tone zone. If you use several pedals, this handy unit lets you bring your signal back up to the level you need before it goes to the amp. Give your rig a boost — use the Micro Amp!
