NEWS new pedal madness!!!

:::CUSACK MUSIC:::
new More Louder Pedal to raise money for breast cancer

The good people at Cusack Music Pedals, creators of the awesome Tap-a-Whirl and Tap-a-Phase pedals have just released a new pedal, the Cusack More Louder. A really cool thng about this new pedal is the cause behind it, 25$ of every pedal sold will go to the research of breast cancer,  in memory of John's mother Mary Claire Cusack. The pedal is a buffer/booser in one, which gives you the choice of buffered or true bypass. The description for the pedal? "The Cusack More Louder is the tone of your guitar, but more of it, and louder!" -Cusack website.

Fresh for your viewing pleasure kids, a new Emma Electronic pedals website! The new website has the usual humorous layout and sports some cool new features as well. They have a news section up with info on their up-coming pedal releases, a comic strip, really cool videos featuring their sounds from their pedals, and a bunch more cool stuff. But my favorite is the humor link on the website that explains why all the funny pedal names, I'll leave it up to you cats to check out.

Photobucket
My good buddy Tom Dalton of Fuzzhugger.com is up to some madness again. Ladies and Gents, here we have the sick sounding, talk to whales, blips, synth tones, and fat octave drones... AB-Synth pedal. I don't even want to try to explain what I just heard in the demo video so I will just layout the control setup and let you go experience that 2-ring circus for yourself. You'll love it!!!

 *Toggle: oscillation mode on/off
 *Trip: in oscillation mode (toggle up), this knob is your main oscillation control
 *Gain: harmonic, open fuzz, to overfuzzed, over-layered, liquid, sizzling synth
 *Texture: lets you control the fuzz texture. Left=blistering, sizzling surge. Right=splattery
 *Level: your master volume control, with mucho available my friends

Go on and take a listen people. Click the link or go to www.fuzzhugger.com

:::Vintage FX:::
Heavy Deavy Skull Fuzz

And this one I am very excited to tell you about, cause I designed the artwork for it...hehehe. My buddy Dave Archer built this pedal as a signature pedal for the band The Warlocks, one of my all time favorite bands. I believe the only way to get one of these is to go to the Warlocks website and put in an order, or by contacting Dave directly. As of how many of these will be made I am not sure of. But one thing I will tell you is that this baby is one badass mo-fo. The Heavy section of the pedal is a distortion, which is capable of knocking out some classic to all out maddness overdrive tones. A really cool feature in the Heavy section is the Comp switch, which when flipping it gives you these low-fi, garage band, super muddy tones. The Deavy section is the fuzz circuit of the pedal, and alone can stand up to anything out there (sorry everybody, but it can), combined with the Heavy section and you got a signature tone of all your own. A really sweet feature in the Deavy section is the Order switch, which lets you choose which circuit will come first in the chain. There are an endless amount of tones you can get with this thing. You can use it as mild to rockin overdrive, classic to heavy distortion, fuzz box and beyond. I say go out and get yourself one while you can, you know me, I love pedals, and this is one super cool pedal to add to your collection.
