Bach Mega Tone Trumpet Mouthpiece 1-1/4C

Bach Mega Tone Trumpet Mouthpiece 1-1/4C Review

Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker with a 6 Inch Metal 1/4 to 1/4 Cable

Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker with a 6 Inch Metal 1/4 to 1/4 Cable Review



Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker with a 6 Inch Metal 1/4 to 1/4 Cable Feature

  • opens up the high frequency bandwidth of your distortion sound delivering a top end that is new and exciting
  • When the Tone switch is set to ON, the Tone knob is active
  • When the Tone switch is set to OFF, the Tone knob and all of its circuitry is bypassed
  • You may use an external AC Adapter power supply instead of the battery. Connect the AC Adapter's plug to the 9V Power Jack at the top of the BMPTW.
The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker taps into the sonic power of the legendary Big Muff Pi, but creates new tonal possibilities at the flick of a switch -- or two. Use the Wicker switch to open up three high-frequency filters for raspy, sustaining distortion with top-end bite, or flick on the Tone switch to bypass the tone control for unabated tonal slam. Want the original Big Muff sound? Just switch off the Wicker and turn on the Tone. The ability to create your own personal Big Muff sound is what truly makes this the Wicked Wicker.

Sustain knob: As in the original Big Muff Pi, adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion.
Tone Knob The Tone knob allows the musician to dial in just the right setting between deep bass and high treble.
Wicker Switch Activate Wicker mode by flipping the Wicker switch up to the ON position where the high frequency bandwidth is opened up for a bright and clear top end.
Set the Wicker switch to OFF to obtain the classic Big Muff Pi sound.
Tone Switch The Tone switch allows the user to activate the Tone knob or to completely bypass the tone circuitry. This setting yields a totally new Muff distortion with a powerful drive and uncolored gain. High output with attitude. Please Note: When the Tone switch is set to OFF, turning the Tone knob will produce no change to your sound. In addition, it is normal for the output volume of your Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker to increase when moving the Tone switch from ON to OFF. Status LED - When the LED is lit; the BMPTW effect is active. When the LED is off, the BMPTW is in True Bypass mode. The Footswitch toggles between effect and bypass modes.
INPUT Jack This 1/4" jack is the audio input to the BMPTW. The input impedance presented at this jack is 130 kO.
OUTPUT Jack This 1/4" jack is the audio output from the BMPTW. When the BMPTW is in Bypass mode, the OUTPUT jack is connected directly to the INPUT jack.

Barber Electronics Tone Press Parallel Compression Effects Pedal

Barber Electronics Tone Press Parallel Compression Effects Pedal Review



Barber Electronics Tone Press Parallel Compression Effects Pedal Feature

  • Precision components- Panasonic capacitors and metal film resistors for low noise.
  • True bypass switching with led indicator- this is achieved by using an high grade switch.
  • Full size pots- for durability and for easy serviceability if needed.
  • Cast aluminum enclosure-our incredibly durable enclosure will last decades if not centuries!
  • Double sided pc board with plate through holes-This is the way the military does it when they want electronics to work FOREVER.
  • In addendum Solid 20 gauge copper hookup wire is used between the jacks and switching to create a transparent bypass.
Parallel compression, a Barber innovation that blows away having to deal with attack, ratio and release knobs of other so-called ''studio compressors''. Barber developed a one-of-a-kind and quite proprietary continuous ''blend control'' circuit and combined it with a discrete ''Class A'' FET mixer circuit to allow you to continuously blend the natural signal of your carefully selected guitar with a ''phase-corrected'' classic compression circuit. The result? What guitar players have always wanted - unaltered attack and supernatural sustain and resonance, no studio engineering degree required. NEW FEATURES: Elna silk particulate audio caps, Panasonic and Wima film caps. Enhanced circuit with 2-3db increased available output to help match higher output pickups.
