Als wir im Oktober 1998 den TU-2 vorstellten, wurden wir vom Erfolg überrollt: Ein unverwüstlicher Tuner im beliebten BOSS Bodentreter-Format - das schlug ein wie eine Bombe. Dieses Stimmgerät war schnell auf den Bühnen der ganzen Welt zu finden. Amateure, Profis und Gitarrenhelden haben ihn in ihrem Setup, der TU-2 war jeden Monat das meistverkaufte BOSS Pedal weltweit!

Viele Hersteller haben seitdem einen ähnlichen Tuner gebaut - doch BOSS setzt mit dem TU-3 die Messlatte wieder ein ganzes Stück höher. Mit großartigen neuen Funktionen und gleichbleibender, unverwüstlicher Qualität!

The world’s top-selling stage tuner, the BOSS TU-2, evolves and improves with the debut of the new TU-3. Housed in a tank-tough BOSS stompbox body, the TU-3 features a smooth 21-segment LED meter with a High-Brightness mode that cuts through the harshest outdoor glare. Choose between Chromatic or Guitar/Bass tuning modes, and enjoy visual pinpoint tuning verification with the Accu-Pitch Sign function. The TU-3 incorporates a convenient Note Name Indicator that can display notes of 7-string guitars and 6-string basses, while the Flat-Tuning mode can support up to six half-steps. It’s the new-standard tuner that no guitarist or bass player should be without!

Der Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man aus den 1990er Jahren ist ein echtes Schwergewicht im Bereich der schaltkreisbasierten analogen Verzögerungsgeräte und immer noch ein begehrtes Stück Vintage-Equipment. Typischerweise ist diese Version (Debüt 1996) des Deluxe Memory Man als "Big Box"-Version bekannt. Sie hat einen höheren Sammlerwert als spätere Versionen.

An original heavyweight in the realm of bucket brigade circuit-based analog delay, the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man of the 1990s still stands as a highly coveted piece of vintage gear. Typically this version (debuting in 1996) of the Deluxe Memory Man is known as the "big box" version. It is more collectible than later versions.

Deluxe Memory Man (90s big box version)

It’s been called anything from “The Emo Pedal” to “The Nashville Pedal” by players, but to me, it’s just my Old Blue.

To be fully transparent (pun intended), I created this overdrive for ME. I wanted a low to medium gain overdrive that could get a lot gainier, more saturated, and thicker in a pinch. It's my always-on low gain drive on my board, but with some girth added via the weight knob and the gain turned up, it can take the place of my 2nd or 3rd gain stage when doing overdubs. I use it to goose my high gain amps when I don't want that screamer-esque mid hump. One time, I was lazy in the studio and used it on bass because it was already plugged in... and it was awesome. Old Blue is my trusty overdrive, so I decided to add it to the Oneder Effects line! I really think you'll dig it.

Contrary to what the name might suggest, this pedal isn't based on a Bluesbreaker or a Blues Driver, but to my ears, it covers the territory of both quite swimmingly. The clipping switch can be thought of as less/more, smooth/open, or vintage/modern voicing to really help Old Blue play nicely with any type of pickups or music genre. The weight knob, similar to that on my Red Ryder Distortion, is very subtle, fine-tunable, and most noticeable at higher gain settings.

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.

The Klon Centaur is an overdrive pedal developed between 1990 and 1994 by Bill Finnegan and engineers at MIT. The pedal was made by Bill Finnegan, by hand, from 1994 to 20093, then reissued in 2012 with industrial manufacturing. This is one of the first "boutique" pedals. It quickly became very popular among guitarists and acquired a "legendary" status, selling for very high prices on the second-hand market. Several brands have created copies, or Klones, of the Klon Centaur.

Das Hoof Reaper kombiniert die EQD Pedale Hoof Fuzz und Tone Reaper Fuzz mit einem „Old School“ Octave-Up-Effekt. Alle drei Effekte verfügen über eigene Regler und Fußschalter und können somit einzeln oder in beliebigen Kombinationen zusammengeschaltet werden. 
Der Octave Effekt kann als standard Latching Modus aktiviert werden, oder im Momentary Modus, indem du den Fußschalte einfach solange gedrückt hältst, wie du den Effekt brauchst.
Insgesamt gibt es somit sieben Möglichkeiten. Der Octave-Up-Effekt ermöglicht zusammen mit den Fuzz-Stufen Sounds, die an explodierende Amp-Stacks denken lassen. Oder man setzt diesen Effekt eher subtil für sich allein ein. Das Hoof Reaper verfügt über True Bypass und wird in Handarbeit in Akron, Ohio un den USA hergestellt.  
Das Hoof Reaper V2 verfügt über einen geräuschlosen, relais-basierten Soft-Touch Fußschalter. Audiosignale haben keinen Durchgang, wenn das Gerät nicht mit Strom versorgt wird.

The Hoof Reaper features our popular Hoof and Tone Reaper fuzz pedals in one handy enclosure with the added bonus of an old school analog octave up. All three effects have their own footswitch, therefore, they can be used independently or in any of its 7 combinations. The Octave effect can be activated in standard latching operation or in momentary operation, by just holding the footswitch down for as long as you’d use the effect. The Hoof Reaper is capable of creating everything from subtle octave-up overtones through crushing octave squalls that simulate exploding stacks of amps, it features True Bypass and is hand built in Akron, Ohio, USA. The Acapulco Gold V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching. Audio will not pass without power.

Dieses Wah-Pedal im klassischen Stil basiert auf den technischen Spezifikationen des ursprünglichen Wah-Effekts, den VOX in den 1960er Jahren entwickelte. Es verfügt über eine vollständig analoge Schaltung, die in einem robusten, leichten, komplett schwarzen Gehäuse untergebracht ist, das auf Portabilität und Langlebigkeit ausgelegt ist. Das Gerät bietet den legendären, vokalähnlichen Sweep, der für frühe britische Rock- und Funk-Aufnahmen charakteristisch ist. Um das ursprüngliche Design zu modernisieren, verfügt es über eine integrierte Netzbuchse, die den Betrieb ohne Batterien ermöglicht. Das Pedal wurde entwickelt, um einen authentischen Vintage-Sound zu bieten und gleichzeitig für Spieler aller Niveaus sehr erschwinglich zu sein. Es dient als unkomplizierter „Workhorse“-Effekt ohne zusätzliche komplexe Funktionen.

This classic-style wah pedal is based on the technical specifications of the original wah effect developed by VOX in the 1960s. It features an all-analog circuit housed in a rugged, lightweight, all-black chassis designed for portability and durability. The unit provides the legendary, vocal-like sweep characteristic of early British rock and funk recordings. To modernize the original design, it includes an integrated AC power jack to allow for use without batteries. The pedal is engineered to offer authentic vintage tone while remaining highly affordable for players of all levels. It serves as a straightforward "workhorse" effect without extra complex features.

Onederwall is the first dual pedal from Oneder Effects, featuring an all-new Oneder-flavored Muff circuit in Channel 1 and an updated and expanded Oneder Drive in Channel 2 called the Onederbolt Distortion. With Channel 1 having multiple modes and intensities and Channel 2 being able to go from a boost, to overdrive, to another flavor of fuzzy distortion, the Onederwall is a box full of endless wild gain textures and possibilities. A WALL of sound. It looks like wallpaper.

The Wet Hot American Bummer Delay can do everything from crystal clean digital delay all the way to a verbed-out, modulated, noisy and seasick guitar sound reminiscent of leaving a cassette tape baking in the sun on your dashboard in 1990. If you can’t relate to that last description, I’ll translate it: totally shoegaze and lo-fi. Finally, a Delay pedal for people who hate.. themselves. This pedal is the soundtrack to all the most memorable moments in your life, mostly the bad ones. But it’ll help you make the songs that get you through the struggle.

The Old Blue Overdrive from Oneder Effects quickly became a best-seller and a mainstay on player's boards all over the world. Now with the updated circuitry in V2, there's no doubt that Old Blue is one of the most versatile and useful drives on the market. It's your always-on. It's the heft, grit, and sparkle you've been missing from other "transparent" pedals you thought you'd like. It's my desert island pedal and I hate to sound cocky, but it's just the best. I made it that way on purpose. I think you'll really like it.

The clipping toggle is where most of the magic happens, with the familiar PLUS setting (more open, gainy, bright) and MINUS (compressed, smooth). V2 offers a new clipping option (labeled V2) that sits perfectly between the original sounds. It's by far my favorite, and dare I say the most "amp-like." Clipping tonal changes are most noticeable at higher gain settings. The weight contour was also upgraded, making it a much more noticeable sweep, and now allows you to cut low end when you go below noon. Finally, Old Blue CAN get more transparent if you need it! This is a great tool when stacking pedals, using thicker sounding pickups, or goosing a high gain amp. Don't fret, the same thick Old Blue V1 sounds are there from noon to max. Don't be afraid to max out the weight knob, it sounds great, and even adds a bit more gain!

Low gain boost, mid-gain overdrive, or saturated high gain sounds, Old Blue does it all, and does it well. And before you ask, YES, Old Blue loves basses and lower tunings! It's what the internet dubbed "The Emo pedal". Your Nashville session pedal. The pedal that inspires you to finally write that record. Old Blue is ready to be your trusty overdrive.
