14 Jahre lang hat das populäre Boss FV-300 den Standard für Volumen-Pedale definiert. Diese Tradition wurde durch die FV-50-Serie fortgesetzt. Das FV-500H (high-impedance, hochohmiges Volume/Expression-Pedal) und FV-500L (low-impedance, niederohmiges Volume/Expression-Pedal) setzen jetzt noch höhere Maßstäbe. Diese stabilen, stylishen Pedale sind optimal auf die Bedürfnisse der User abgestimmt und absolut road-tauglich. Beide Modelle können als Expression-Pedal zusammen mit entsprechenden Verstärkern, Effektgeräten und Synthesizern genutzt werden.

For 14 years, the famous BOSS FV-300 served as an industry-standard volume pedal. The tradition continued with the FV-50 series, but today the bar has been raised with BOSS’s FV-500H (mono, high-impedance, inst. level) and FV-500L (stereo, low-impedance) pedals. These tank-tough diecast pedals are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding customers. The pedals offer a new stylish design, a road-tough build, and a comfortable, smooth action. Both models also provide an Expression output for use with expression-compatible amps, effects, and even synthesizers.

Du willst deinen voll aufgedrehten Amp so richtig kreischen lassen? Vielleicht brauchst du auch nur eine warme sahnige Nuance für deinen cleanen Sound? Der Hammertone™ Overdrive kann beides. Und noch einiges mehr. Er gehört eigentlich in jedes Rig. In ihm steckt jede Menge Druck. Der Pre-Gain Mitten-Booster verleiht deinem Ton zusätzlich Biss und Schärfe, so setzt du dich im Mix gut durch. Die Ein- und Ausgänge sowie der Schalter für den True Bypass befinden sich oben, dadurch braucht der Overdrive wenig Platz im Pedalboard.

Whether you're pushing your cranked amp into full-blown distortion or just adding some warmth, grit and character to your clean sound, the Hammertone™ Overdrive is an essential addition to your rig. This compact drive packs a big punch - the pre-gain mid boost adds the perfect edge for cutting through the mix, while the pedal board-friendly top-mounted in & out jacks and true bypass footswitch mean it will integrate seamlessly into your rig.

ACE of TONE is a dual overdrive pedal stacked with Tubeman MKII and Morning Star. Why? Because great guitarists love 2 overdrives to stack their tone.

In the left corner~ Tubeman with FAT mode. Tubeman offers way more clarity and gain than any classic Tubescreamer, and we modified the circuit with a useful secondary function by simply holding the foot switch~ FAT mode. It cranks way more bass response to enhance the low-end yet makes the tone warmer!

In the right corner~ Morning Star with SHINE mode. Morning Star is based on legendary Bluesbreaker circuit: very transparent, low gain drive. Like our Morning Star, it also features a simple FOOT SWITCH HOLD to engage the iconic SHINE mode. In SHINE mode, you can get way more treble sound to make your tone crystal-clear.

The LT DUAL offers the ultimate in distortion flexibility. Channel 1 lets you move from clean, to boost to overdrive. Channel 2 then takes you from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel amp into a three channel tone machine.

Blackstar’s patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit, giving you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control, will take you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between, whilst the patent-applied-for clipping circuit delivers amazing valve-like tone and compression for a wide variety of playing styles.

POLYTUNE 3 NOIR is destined to become the favorite mini pedal tuner for those going for a darker, more monochromatic manner of expression. Sometimes you want to keep things understated, classical. The midnight black powder coating compliments the stylistically oriented pedalboard – while keeping your signal crisp and your tone in tune.

Standard aktive DI-Box. Kann über 9V Batterie oder 48V Phantomspeisung betrieben werden. Hochohmiger Eingang, größerer Ausgangspegel als eine passive DI-Box. Die aktive Schaltung ermöglicht die hohe Eingangsimpedanz von 1 MOhm und größere Empfindlichkeit des Einganssignals (typische Differenz zwischen Ein- und Ausgang: -4 dB). Die maximale Ausgansspannung beträgt bei Phantomspeisung +10 dBu. Ausgang: trafosymmetrisch. Durch eine spezielle "floating ground"-Schaltung funktioniert der Ground-Lift-Schalter auch bei Phantomspeisung.

Standard active DI box. Can be operated with 9 V batteries or 48 V phantom power. High-impedance input; higher output level than with a passive DI box. Active circuitry allows for high input impedance ( 1 meg. ohm) and higher input sensitivity (typical difference between in and out -4 dB). Maximum output impedance with phantom power operation +10 dB. Output: transformer balanced. The special "floating ground" circuitry enables ground lift even during phantom power operation.

Keeley hat zwei legendäre Distortion- und Fuzz-Schaltungen in eine Stompbox gepackt und damit zwei neue Sounds geschaffen. Es ist eine Art Pedal-Modeling, mit dem Unterschied, dass es sich um 100 % analoge Schaltungen der alten Schule handelt und du entscheidest, welche Klangregelung oder Clipping-Sektion du rocken möchtest. Sättige deine Gitarre entweder mit einem legendären '78 Japanese Orange Distortion oder einem '91 Soviet Civil War Fuzz. Verwende den Angry Orange, um mit den Hybrid-Modi deine eigenen Fuzz-Typen zu kreieren, und das alles mit nur drei einfachen Reglern. Das Pedal kann mit True Bypass oder Buffered Bypass betrieben werden, es dauert nur zwei Sekunden, um zwischen den Modi zu wechseln. Der Keeley Angry Orange wird komplett bei Keeley Electronics gefertigt und kommt im neuen Aluminium-Gehäuse.

Keeley crammed two legendary distortion and fuzz circuits into one stompbox and gave you two new sounds in the process. It’s sort of like pedal-modeling except these are 100% old-school, analog circuits and you decide which tone control or clipping section you want to rock. Heavily saturate your guitar through either a legendary ‘78 Japanese Orange Distortion or a ‘91 Soviet Civil War Fuzz. Use the Angry Orange to make your own fuzzztortions with the hybrid modes, all with only three simple knobs. This pedal can be True Bypass or Buffered Bypass, it only takes two seconds to switch between the modes. The Keeley Angry Orange is entirely manufactured at Keeley Electronics and is in the new aluminum enclosure.

Tiny Simplifier

Der originale Ibanez® Tube Screamer® ist eines der am meisten emulierten Schaltungsdesigns aller Zeiten und hat seit seiner Veröffentlichung in den späten 1970er Jahren viele Verstärker angetrieben. Während viele Firmen Pedale im 808/TS9-Stil herstellen, war der TS10® immer ein Favorit von Brian. Das Moxie ist ein ultraflexibles, wunderbar warmes und sattes Pedal, das alles kann, von leichtem Boost bis hin zu einem düsteren Drive, der einen Amplifier in stark übersteuerte Töne versetzen kann, aber mit einem extra Biss.

The original Ibanez® Tube Screamer® is one of the most emulated circuit designs of all time and has been pushing amplifiers since it was first released in the late 1970s. While many companies create 808/TS9 style pedals, the TS10® was always a favorite of Brian’s. Capable of anything from light boost to a gritty drive that can send an amplifier into heavily overdriven tones, the Moxie is an ultra-flexible, wonderfully warm and rich pedal but with an extra bite.

MOXIE OVERDRIVE

The Lil’ RAT features the same controls and tone as the full sized RAT, but only 2 inches wide. It’s built like a tank with rear mounted power and audio jacks. At half the size, this pedal conserves valuable pedalboard real estate, and provides full-sized RAT tones, attack and sustain.

The beauty of the Lil' RAT 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 Lil' RAT be your dirty channel.  Maybe you already love your amp’s distortion.  Use the Lil' RAT as a boost for solos and get the extra kick you need.

The Lil' RAT 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.

Distortion dials in the perfect amount of gain – from mild overdrive to full out fuzzy assault, and the volume control lets you dial it in just perfectly against your bypassed clean tone.

Beim DSM & Humboldt Simplifier DLX handelt es sich um eine extrem erweiterte Version des kleinen Simplifiers, der hier bereits Gegenstand eines Tests war. Eine der Besonderheiten an den Geräten der Simplifier-Reihe, die auch gerne Zero Watt Amplifier genannt werden, ist die Zielgruppe, die der chilenische Hersteller ins Auge gefasst hat. Es sind Gitarristen, die mit kleinem Gepäck zum Gig kommen, auf analoge Signalwege setzen und für die deshalb digitale Modeler bzw. Cabinet-Simulationen keine Option sind.

Pedalboard amps seem to be all the rage lately. And I have to admit that I've become increasingly more amicable to getting big tones with less gear. The DSM & Humboldt Simplifier DLX, which delivers a lot of big tones in a single suited-for-pedalboard sized stomp, is the latest iteration of the company's "zero-watt" amp series and features plenty of bells and whistles for the stereo set.
