Gold Tone GT-750 Banjitar Deluxe Banjo (Six String, Rosewood)

Gold Tone GT-750 Banjitar Deluxe Banjo (Six String, Rosewood) Review



Due to the enormous popularity of the original GT-500, the GT-750 was designed for optimal volume and tone. After numerous tone ring experimentations, a unique bell brass ring with a special lip was designed and chosen for its best sound. This provides more acoustic volume and excellent sustain for a six string banjo. Upgraded from the GT-500, the GT-750 features the bell brass flat top tone ring, curly maple resonator, and bound fingerboard and resonator. This model also features the Sliding Magnetic Pickup (SMP) which provides a great banjo-like tone through an amplifier. Final assembly and complete setup performed at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida.

Digitech XTD Tone Driver Overdrive Guitar Pedal

Digitech XTD Tone Driver Overdrive Guitar Pedal Review



Digitech XTD Tone Driver Overdrive Guitar Pedal Feature

  • Overdrive morphing
  • Spectral-contouring EQ
  • Normal and CIT(TM) Cabinet Modeling outputs
X-Series® Tone Driver® Overdrive Distortion We found that three was the perfect number of distortion pedals to start with. Each one utilizes DigiTech’s® exclusive multi-distortion technology, which gives you a near endless supply of distortion types compared to single distortion pedals found elsewhere. The three distortion pedals include the Metal Master™ for those who lean strongly towards head-banging for a living, the Hot Rod™ which delivers powerful, but smooth rock distortion, and the Tone Driver™ for guitarists who live for overdrive crunch. Each distortion stompbox features a huge range of different distortion types that can be morphed into different combinations as you rotate our exclusive Distortion Morph knob. This gives you a near unlimited supply of combinations. Now, you are no longer stuck with only one distortion type in a pedal. But that’s not all. There are two outputs, one for normal signal out, and one that features advanced cabinet modeling for live and recording direct-to-board applications. And instead of the standard stompbox tone controls, we’ve even incorporated our innovative spectral-contouring EQ, which delivers a far greater tone range than other distortion stompboxes.
