Here are some pedal highlights from the 2004 winter NAMM show here in Los Angeles.
Check out the Guyatone tremolo with digital LFO (same with the filter).

thanks for the pics...very cool
Cool stuff Jeorge! Thanks for posting it! 8) :D
Funny how this world works... I started work on my digital LFO last week.
take care,
-Peter
That Guyatone stuff looks interesting, especially the ultron!
:shock:
I feel like I have waited my whole life for a Tremolo like that Chopshop.

I don't know about you, but I live for my monthly nookie! :wink: Tremelo, I've got!

Word is the Guyatone trem and filter will cost in the neighborhood of $400.00 smackers!
The Moog pedal was some sort of filter like a seek wah.

What's the Moogerfooger Murf do?
Those Guyatone pedals look soooo cooooool!
Why must companies like Ibanez wave something like the Flying Pan under our noses without having the common decency to offer a reissue??? Whazzup wit dat, huh???
Cool pics, Jeorge.
Thanks!

So I take it from the date 1980 over the Tubescreamer, that this is when they were released?
The Guyatone pedals look great, but I'm very curious about that Moogerfooger.
wow.. who needs stage lights with all those LEDs ;p

Added some scans!
YESSSS!!!!!
TWO BIG MUFFS CASCADED!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted:
wonder what the zakk pedal sounds like? hmmm
I believe the ZW-44 pedal is based on a Boss SD1.
Mr. Huge, are you feeling the pull of simple analog stompboxes?
a friend play for roland/boss on namm he fly from chile to namm .
he is a amp diyer .
I hope talk with him soon for news

No, I just love pedals!
Some of them there pedals are digital too!
Oh yeah, I all most forgot. It seems that the new Maxon AD999 is using 6 MN3208 to get the 800mS (yeah right) of pure BBD analog delay! They wouldn't let me look inside... Bummer!
Also, the new MXR chorus is analog and is not a reissue, it's a new design.
I heard that a company in China is making some of the smaller BBD's like the 3207, 3208. I don't remember what the prefix was... BA?
Cheers,

BTW
I had a chance to play these Wasabi pedals, a drive, a distortion and a delay. Honestly - nothing spectacular. Typical sounds, low price, flashy boxes.
Not suprised there- about the wasabis. Maybe an upper scale danelectro? both from Evets Corp. Hmmm..
Some of us are already past 1 second, of pure analog bliss-
I have 3 new echoczar samples up ( more coming )

Thanks, Ed R.
sorry, double post!
Hey! :shock: Are those eye tubes on the Electro-Harmonix NY-2A??? Maybe 6E1P?
-Peter
I heard the EH compressor was gonna be wicked expensive... 2k? Weird that they are pushing into the "pro audio" side of things instead of the stompbox world, but hey, why not. I love companies that have the balls to do something new.
Not that a stereo rackmount compressor is totally new, but you know what I mean...

Yes! (dunno which type, though...)
Anthonie (didn`t design this one...)
Aw yeah..... They're reissuing the Pulsar.... or is it a new circuit? I wonder.
Why am I so jazzed about Tremolo? Could it be that I run a studio called Tremolo Lounge?
Hmmm?
Roger
new one....
based on a little thing I don`t have a picture of, just the design-layout/drill-template of the prototype I made...

Actually Aron, it's two Muff Fuzzes cascaded. I actually played through one of those in 1973, sticking one of the little boxes (these are the little palm-sized units) into another. Yeessh!! We were playing in a school gym, and the feedback was so bad with that sucker kids must have had it coming out of their lockers 2 weeks later.
E-H is definitely moving in a higher-end direction from the looks of it. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the rackmount envelope-controlled filter is the consulting or even design handiwork of Mike Beigel. He retweaked the Mutron for them as Q-Tron. Now is as good a time as any for the big Mutron Envelope Controlled Filter (and I mean bigger than a Biphase) that never made it past prototype, and the Beigel rackmount unit that sold a limited number of units before disappearing, to re-emerge in a fully-fledged form. This sure looks like it has. Now I'm wondering if they'd ever re-release the big rackmount guitar synth.
Ibanez's "re-issue" of TS-808 is souring me big time. Talk about a money grab. $240 for what? For a few 5-cent component changes to an existing board? Is that a $150 paint job and a $20 switch? I'm not impressed. Not at all.
The Guyatone stuff is smart, very smart, I mean smart enough to send other companies scrambling. In an era when we are so accustomed to Zoom pedals that give you tons of effects with one parameter to vary, what a delight to have someone milk a single kind of effect for everything its worth and take tweakability out to the stratosphere. I think I'm gonna like this year of gear.
Thanks Jorge.
240 bucks for a TS-808 seems over-the-top though. :?
Mark: of course You´re right: the Bi-Filter is an all-new Beigel-thing with co-operation of John Pisani (E-H-engineer who did the "Holy Grail")...
2 muffs cascaded.................bloody stupid if you ask me - it'll probably bring the company down - is this a measure of the younger generation's obsession with fuzz boxes to mask their abysmal playing?????????
Hi Ed Rembold,
I've been wondering when you were going to finally post your site. All ready to go I take it.
If you guys haven't checked Ed's pedals out yet, please do, absolutely top of the line.

Uncle,
I think it's a great idea! The more distortion the better!
Actually you can cascade or parallel. I don't know, I like it.
But I am equally sure I did this long ago! YES, my abysmal playing needs it! :-)
Wait 'till you hear me play! :mrgreen: Been playing for three years now but never had a guitar lesson in my life because my parents won't pay them...
The only thing I learnt in those three years is a couple of licks, chords, but most of all that if you want to be cool instantly, you shouldn't try to do music. It takes time to be cool at music 8) I'm cool 'cause I have many many gadgets but my playing isn't that great :lol:
It might actually be kinda cool to rig another footswitch in the Double Muff and swtich between the single/double fuzz that way.
Hells yes! Two big muffs! In one box! Hey wait, I could do this myself... wait a second... Thanks for the link, I love this time of year! ! and ! and !
Is the reissue ts-808 an exact replica of the old one where there using jus the name? Or is it an overpriced real deal?
