The DS830 can generate insane amounts of gain while still retaining remarkable evenness and transparency.  Yet far from being a one-trick pony, the DS830 is also capable of lightly overdriven blues tones and even semi-clean solo boosts at lower Gain settings.

Clarity and punch may seem like self-canceling traits, yet the DS830 provides both.  The high-gain settings don't force a particular color on your tone - a great trait if you're pleased with your particular guitar/amp combination.

DS-830 Distortion Master

The CP-9 Pro+ is that rarity of rarities – a compressor with tons of squash that does not color your guitar tone or create excessive noise.

CP9 Pro+

EQ’s may not be as sexy as overdrives, but when used properly they can add a wide variety of useful new colors to your existing guitar rig.

The GE601 Graphic Equalizer covers six carefully selected frequency bands over a five octave range with 12 dB of Boost/Cut per band (100, 200, 400 & 800 Hz, 1.6 & 3.2 KHz respectively).  There’s also a Master Level control with 12 dB of overall Boost/Cut.

With a circuit based around the Panasonic MN3207 Bucket Brigade IC, the CS550's “straight-outta ’79” chorus effect is bold and resonant without sounding harsh.  Unlike the sterile chorus sounds of the 80’s, the 550 has an edgy, almost grainy quality that keeps your tone articulate and prevents wash-out.

The CS550’s custom-tuned oscillator circuit provides enough speed for authentic rotary speaker simulation, and just the right amount of modulation for a lush vibrato that won't leave you feeling queasy.
