The ModTone MT-OD Dyno Drive is a split bypass boutique style overdrive pedal that provides classic warm overdrive without compromise or noise and is housed in a compact sealed corrosion resistant metal chassis that's built to last. When placed in front of a clean amp the MT-OD gives just a hint of overdrive making all your blues licks and chicken pickin’ riffs jump out. Put it in front of your main overdrive tone and you’ve got a smooth lead tone that sustains for days! A simple 3 knob configuration begins with the “Tone” control that goes from rich understated overdrive to aggressive sparkle with just a twist of the knob. Next up is the “Drive” control that allows you to add just a touch of grit or go all the way up for some serious saturation without ever being brittle. Lastly the “Level” option gives you access to the amount of gain you want added to your main signal. The MT-OD Dyno Drive, like the whole family of Mod Tone pedals, features period correct vintage style components,  smooth linear taper pots, high impact switches built for the floor and top quality jacks for optimum tonal transfer.

Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal

Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal Review



Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal Feature

  • Adjustable threshold and ratio controls Blend control for parallel compression Smooth, diode-clipping distortion
The Pigtronix Philosophers Tone is a state-of-the-art analog compressor/sustainer, providing endless clean sustain. With variable Sustain (threshold), Blend (ratio) and Treble controls, the Philosophers Tone offers a huge range of compression sounds for the discerning musician. The Philosophers Tone also contains a smooth diode clipping distortion with a blend control for clean or dirty compression sounds and any mixture of the two. While the Philosophers Tone distortion rocks on its own, it is designed to play well with other dirt pedals in order to create your ultimate distortion tone that sustains forever.The Philosophers Tone is an ideal front end to any guitar pedal rig and a perfect companion to the Pigtronix Mothership Guitar Synthesizer or any other pitch-tracking musical equipment, resulting in even more accurate tracking and increased note duration. Pigtronix Philosophers Tone is unlike the common compressor. This pedal has more sustain and less noise.The dynamic range, touch sensitivity, overall transparency and outright sustain of the Philosophers Tone is un-paralleled in the crowded world of compressor pedals.Practitioners of the mystical and ancient art of alchemy long sought an element called the Philosophers Stone, believing that, if found, it could turn lead into gold and bestow immortality upon the man who wielded it. For such a tiny pedal to create so much sustain, we feel that this device represents a musical equivalent to this mythical substance in the world of guitar pedals.People have been trying to get clean sustain from a pedal for decades, and the alchemists at Pigtronix seems to have found the secret to make it happen.

Neotech 3201002 Sax Tone Filter - Alto

Neotech 3201002 Sax Tone Filter - Alto Review



Neotech 3201002 Sax Tone Filter - Alto Feature

  • Maintains tone with full breath support.
  • Great for use while practicing or performing.
  • Place filter at different angles for additional tonal varieties.
  • Available in two sizes: Alto and Tenor.
  • Made in the USA.
Sax players know that many notes are difficult to play softly and still maintain good tone. Neotech’s SAX TONE FILTER™ reduces the volume of air that is allowed through the horn so it is easier to hold good tone even while playing at lower volume. Simply place the SAX TONE FILTER™ snugly in the bell of your instrument at the desired angle. The friction fit of the SAX TONE FILTER™ holds its position nicely even when you move around with your instrument. The SAX TONE FILTER™ helps to maintain proper back pressure in the horn which keeps air flowing through all of the keys while blowing less air. It can be used in various positions within the instrument to affect the instrument’s tone. This can be particularly helpful when blending with other musicians or ensembles. This feature is especially useful in the harder-to-play lower notes. Made of soft rubberized material, the SAX TONE FILTER™ holds securely in place without any danger of scratching the instrument’s finish. It can be hand washed in mild detergent and left to dry. Give it a try!

Visual Sound Garage Tone Axle Grease Delay

Visual Sound Garage Tone Axle Grease Delay Review



Visual Sound Garage Tone Axle Grease Delay Feature

  • Time knobRepeats knobLevel knobFootswitchLED
You won't believe your ears when you plug into the ultra-affordable GarageTone "Axle Grease" Delay. Although it utilizes a hybrid digital/analog circuit, the tone is all analog delay. Warm, natural sounding echos, whacky space effects when you turn the Delay Time knob, self-oscillating capabilities—it's all in the GarageTone Axle Grease Delay. CAUTION: When using the Analog Mayhem setting, turn down the Repeats knobs to cancel the self-oscillating repeats if the sound gets too loud; you can also turn down the Level knob to continue the repeats at lower volume. For some really cool effects, turn the Time knob during the repeats.

Gold Tone IT-800 Irish Tenor Banjo (Vintage Mahogany)

Gold Tone IT-800 Irish Tenor Banjo (Vintage Mahogany) Review



Gold Tone IT-800 Irish Tenor Banjo (Vintage Mahogany) Feature

  • Â Irish Tenor players have often revered the Tubaphone-style pot for a loud tone and lasting sustain.
  • The 32-hole brass Tubaphone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum sustain.
The Irish Tenor 800 (IT-800) is an accurate reproduction of the most sought after banjo design in the classic Old Time sound, the Vega Tubaphone.  Irish Tenor players have often revered the Tubaphone-style pot for a loud tone and lasting sustain. This 17 fret model, tuned to GDAE (octave lower than a mandolin) has the power and volume needed for Celtic banjo leads, and cuts through louder than most all other Irish Tenors. The Gold Tone IT-800 incorporates a fitted metal bracket band to an 11” maple rim in which the shoe lugs bolt directly to the bracket band instead of the wood rim allowing for a more solid tone and increased sustain. The 32-hole brass Tubaphone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum sustain. Improvements to the original classic design include dual coordinator rods (instead of a dowel stick) for a solid neck fit and easy adjustment capabilities. Other features include a maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard , a classic engraved fingerboard inlay design, 11” Renaissance banjo head, and a No Knot tailpiece. With final assembly and a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida, this model delivers exactly what the Irish tenor banjo player is looking for!

Mod Tone Speedbox Distortion Pedal

Mod Tone Speedbox Distortion Pedal Review



Mod Tone Speedbox Distortion Pedal Feature

  • 5 year written warranty
  • Aircraft quality switch
  • Metal input and output jacks
  • Smooth linear taper pots
  • Rugged metal chassis
The ModTone MT-DS Speedbox is a split bypass boutique style distortion pedal that emulates the tones of a vintage amp or classic overdrive and is housed in a compact all metal box that can take all you dish out!  What may appear as just another fuzzbox is quite different once you hear what the MT-DS can do. It is simply put, a pre-amp in itself! A deliberately simple 3 knob configuration is the gateway to overdrive bliss starting with a custom tailored “Tone” knob that provides just the right amount of sparkle and warmth while still retaining all the crunch and tonal clarity you love without a hint of noise! Next is the “Drive” knob and its truly where the heart of this pedal lies with its custom voiced overdrive circuit and proprietary gain stage setting that allows you the option of getting a delicious overdrive tone from your clean amp or, on your amp's overdrive setting, a thick and creamy lead boost that sustains for days!  Last up is the “Level” control that allows you to select the perfect amount of gain whether you’re style is a touch of the blues or a full out metal blitzkrieg!
