In terms of accuracy, you'd be hard pressed to do much better than the Pitchblack Custom's +/- 0.1 cent spec, unless you pony up for a desktop strobe unit. Its 3-D, liquid-like screen makes up about 75 percent of the face of the pedal and leaves no doubt as to what's on the display, no matter which of the four different meter modes chosen. $79 street, įor what's arguably the most important pedal on the floor, this tuner appeals to the type of player who-alongside quickness and accuracy-puts high value on visibility to counteract dark stages and/or sub-par vision. The Bad: At extreme gain settings it gets a bit fizzy. The Good: Glow-in-the-dark knobs! You can run it at 18V for more headroom. If you dig the whole TS vibe but want more mid control, start with this other green box. It decreases the bass and treble-a very handy feature when you're trying to find the right guitar/amp/pedal combo in a mix. Turning it counter-clockwise gives the tone a mid hump, but not in the way you might think.
Unlike a typical tone control, the spectrum moves several different frequencies around at the same time. Naturally the gain and level controls are self-explanatory, but the real magic is in the spectrum knob. Once word got out about the ODR, it landed on every Nashville cat's board and prices for vintage ones started to rise. Thanks to session player Tom Bukovac, the Nobels has taken on a life of its own-to the point where Buk' had to make a video busting all the myths around his early history with it, right down to the $30 price tag. This mini version of the cult classic keeps the general vibe of its larger sibling along with its beautifully rich and mid-focused sound. It's not a stretch to think that aspiring session guitarists come to Nashville packing a Tele, a capo, and this overdrive. The Good: Easily controllable, super-authentic-sounding vintage fuzz at a bargain price. There's no 9V battery option, but there is enough dynamism and control to satisfy any breed of vintage raunch hound. Add a wah pedal and cock it to different positions to tap some truly dinosauric sounds. The Rusty Fuzz oxidizes the sound of humbuckers at every setting, although it takes some cranking to drive single-coils to glorious ruin. And with a maximum output gain of +55 dB, punching through a live mix is not an issue. Even with fuzz maxed, the tone dial is quite responsive, so highs needn't get drowned in the tidal wave of fur, and turning the tone all the way down warms things if desired. Floor the fuzz and it's '68 at the Fillmore-held notes sing with feedback and bent strings roar and fluctuate, eventually decaying in a beastly groan. provides enough hair to sting, and levels above that are slap-your-mama. With unity gain at about 10 o'clock, keeping the fuzz setting under 11 a.m. Many modern Fuzz Face-inspired silicon circuits are too dark and mannered, but this badass bargain zeroes in on a joyful range of anarchic, retro tones, from Hendrix to Big Brother.
