ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Boss SL-20 Slicer

Once I heard about this pedal I was instantly hooked. At the time I was working on an original music rock project and wanted to use it for some great synth type sounds. I was immediately impressed. Although there are some limitations rhythmically I think the ways in which you can shape and slice the sound make this well worth the price. Now if you will excuse me I'll be recording my post-modern 80's album now. - Aljon

Inject a shot of high-octane fuel into your music with the SL-20 Slicer. Instantly transform a guitar, bass, keyboard, or vocal into a pulsating groove instrument. Choose from 50 onboard Slice patterns or experiment with the SL-20’s innovative Harmonic Slicer feature, which generates percussive melodies, Loop Record, and unique 3D Panning.

Zvex Nano All Tube Guitar Amp

Bravo! Your looking at the world's smallest production tube amp, the Nano Head by Z.Vex Amps. This little marvel is a one-half watt (distorted) powerhouse that will surprise you with its apparent volume. Plug it into a 4X12 (or any 8 to 16 ohm speaker) and listen to it roar! This amp is voiced to deliver classic rock tone, with a very high level of crunch available if it's wanted. Just crank the volume knob around to the level of distortion you desire, from a very quiet (one tenth watt) clean mode to a micro-Marshall (TM) blast when cranked up. I am making myself a little ill (gag!) trying to describe the tone of my Nano, using the same tired old phrases that all the amp and distortion box makers use, but I think it's true... it does a great job of emulating big amps at very reasonable volumes, which makes it exceptionally nice for recording.

JC-120 Roland Jazz Chorus Amp

Johnny DeMarco and Gary Lenaire Show you the Amazing Powers of the Legendary Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120. This amp was one of the very first "pro" amps I ever played through growing up. I fell in love with all the effects and the clean sound. The chorus was amazing as you would expect. I'm saving my pennies just so I can get this amp, perhaps one day.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Way Huge Pork Loin

Jeorge Tripps and Tal Morris run through the inside and out of the new Pork Loin Soft-Clip-Injection Overdrive from Way Huge Electronics and Dunlop Manufacturing.

The Pork Loin Overdrive Guitar Pedal incorporates 2 distinct tonal pathways that are blended together a modern soft clipping overdrive and a modified classic British preamp for clean. At the heart of the Pork Loin's overdrive path is a soft clipped BiFET overdrive gain stage with a passive Tone control, rounded out by a Curve function that gives the user freedom to fine-tune corner frequencies. The Volume control regulates the masses of pork power that exude from its space age circuitry, leaving room for the Clean control to blend in its warm glistening clean tones. Additionally, the Pork Loin has three internal mini controls: Filter and Voice deliver extensive tonal shaping possibilities, while the overdrive Mix control allows the Pork Loin to be run as a clean preamp. With a wide range of dynamic tones from supple and clear to warm and punchy, the Pork Loin's outstanding features make it one extremely in-demand guitar effect pedal on the market today.

The Pork Loin Soft Clip Injection Overdrive Pedal Features:

Heavy-Duty footswitch
True bypass
Blue LED indicator
2.1mm power jack with AC protection

Taylor's Baby Taylor

Once a talented, aspiring preteen with a Taylor guitar and big musical dreams, country pop superstar Taylor Swift has made her mark on the music industry. After spending much of 2009 on her first headlining tour and celebrating the milestone success of 10 million total albums sold and over 20 million paid downloads, Swift is now adding to her repertoire as a singer, songwriter and actress with her very own signature guitar. In collaboration, Taylor Guitars and Taylor Swift announce the arrival of the Taylor Swift Baby Taylor guitar (TSBT), a model that is sure to inspire players of all skill levels with its compact size, full-voiced tone and a top that features Swift’s design touches.

Based on the best-selling Baby Taylor guitar, the TSBT is ideal for both promising players and accomplished pickers. At three-quarters the size of a standard dreadnought, with a slim 1 11/16-inch neck and a comfortably compact shape, the guitar is just right for both the littlest player’s hands and anyone who likes to pick up and play on the go. With the new model, Swift hopes to inspire others to express themselves through music. “I wanted to share my passion for playing guitar with my fans,” she says. “For a beginner, finding the right guitar can be intimidating, but this guitar, it’s the perfect size. Even if you’ve been playing for years, it’s a great size to travel with.”

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: The Chicago Iron Pedal Flanger

Known as one of the rarest vintage pedals ever made. Not very many people have had the pleasure of playing one. The 1970's Tycobrahe Pedalflanger was the first flanger pedal ever made for guitar. The original Tycobrahe Pedalflanger pedal sold for $220 in 1977. Have you ever played one? Chicago Iron has spent the time (years) and effort to refine this design to the highest degree possible. We think you'll like what we have done with this rare and useful vintage tool. The Chicago Iron Tycobrahe Pedalflanger allows you to create a vivid soundscape with widely adjustable chorus, vibe, leslie, flange and a multitude of extra sounds from liquid lush to sci-fi alien. Can be used in both Auto Mode and Manual Mode on the fly. Very human like in it's expression. A true "keeper" effect pedal. Comes complete with the original Tycobrahe style art, knobs and wood "crate" stash box.

Epiphone Launches the new Emperor Swingster Hollow-Body Guitar

Epiphone Launches the new Emperor Swingster Hollow-body Guitar Designed for Musicians Who Appreciate Exceptional Playability and Effortless Style

Leading guitar maker Epiphone is best known for making some of the best and most innovative hollow-body guitars such as the Casino, Sheraton and Riviera to name a few. Never one to question creativity, Epiphone has created a guitar which features the best of their classic and best loved models, introducing the Epiphone Emperor Swingster. Starting with the same body and neck as used on their Emperor-II guitar and made famous by the jazz master himself, Joe Pass, Epiphone swings into action and turns it into a serious rock-a-billy slinging, country flinging' instrument at the same time retaining a modern and contemporary feel.

The Epiphone Emperor Swingster has what it takes to satisfy any professional's demand for great one. The Epiphone Emperor Swingster features series/parallel switching controlled by two push/pull tone controls. This allows you to change each pickup's output individually from parallel to series wiring creating a palette of useful sounds to tap into, ranging from warm humbuckers to "quacky" single-coil type sounds and everything in-between. Naturally all good swinging machines need a vibrato and the Swingster is no exception featuring a Bigsby Licensed B30 with original style wire handle as preferred by "Certified Guitar Player" and legend, Chet Atkins. Epiphone spares no expense by adding a "pinned" tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles for smooth operation and accurate return to pitch which is preferred when using a vibrato. Other professional features include a hand-scalloped arched spruce top combined with a laminated arched-back Flame Maple body and glued-in 3-piece Hard Maple neck. At the heart of the guitar are Epiphone's new SwingBucker pickups. Specially designed for the Emperor Swingster, the humbuckers offer no-hum performance and feature classic Alnico-V magnets, enamel wire and over-wound coils for the perfect combination of warmth and bite.

Topping it all off are Epiphone's trademark, multi-bound headstock with the classic mother-of-pearl "vine" inlay, premium Grover(tm) tuners and a multi-bound, 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard with block inlay. The Epiphone Emperor Swingster comes in a variety of finishes including Trans Black, Wine Red and Sunrise Orange. Epiphone proudly stands by every guitar they make by supporting it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson 24/7/365 Customer Service. If you're ready for a professional guitar with unique features and an attractive price tag, make sure to check out the new Emperor Swingster today.

O-Port for your Acoustic Guitar - Preview

THE NEW O-PORT, developed by musical instrument and guitar aftermarket company Dare Music Group, is a guitar enhancement proven to improve the sound of any acoustic guitar. Tested under the scrutiny of acoustic engineers and world-renowned sound producers, The O-Port helps deliver a fuller, richer sound with noticeably increased sustain and harmonic range. This becomes particularly pronounced when the instrument is plugged in and amplified, resulting in a stronger signal to the internal pickup and significant feedback control.

The O-Port combines rigorous engineering and craftsmanship to add to the functionality of the instrument while staying true to the traditional aesthetics valued by acoustic guitar players. At the summer NAMM show, distributors, retailers, manufacturers, and artists marveled at the O-Port's innovative concept and ease of use--as well as the impressive results demonstrated on the show floor. A flood of orders ensured that it will be in stores by Christmas, when it is expected to be a popular accessory and gift purchase. The O-Port also drew an overwhelmingly positive reception at Musikmesse 2009, where it secured orders from music stores in eight countries.

O-Port will initially be sold in two sizes in music stores worldwide as an aftermarket self-installation device that fits into almost any acoustic guitar, regardless of make or model. It has gained accolades from a growing number of award-winning musicians, producers, and sound engineers.

"I always enjoy discovering and trying new devices to make the recording process easier, better and more fun," said Neil Dorfsman, producer for Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Sting, The Roiling Stores, and other music icons. "I've just heard an amazing device called the O-Port. The difference really becomes obvious when you place a mic in front of the instrument. It's a kind of 'acoustic enhancer' that any serious player, recording engineer, or producer would notice."

Aritst Profile: Kris Bell

Hosting a radio show that showcases great local artists for as long as I has turned me on to some amazing musicians. Take for example guitar slinger Kris Bell. He combines his soulful playing with radio ready song craft. Check out the tracks “Destined," “Letter of Goodbye,” “Livin’ For Tomorrow” and my favorite "I Know the Sun Will Call." It's gritty, powerful and soulful! He peppers in these numbers with some Texas inspired guitar licks that show off his flare and good taste.

BIO:
In April of 2005, Kris moved from his hometown of San Diego, CA to Nashville, TN. Within one month of relocating, he was quickly hired as the Lead Guitarist for American Idol star Bo Bice. For the next two years, Kris performed on numerous television programs, toured nationally, recorded on a major label record and was featured in a number one music video on MTV and VH1.

In 2007, Kris began pursuing a solo career, bringing his captivating rock style to new fans from Georgia to California. During a show in Nashville, he caught the attention of producer and Muzik Mafia Percussionist, Pino Squillace and soon after, landed a deal with Wilderside Productions. Kris began recording his debut album with Pino and co-producer and Matt Wilder.

On November 11th 2008, Kris released "American Rock". This five song EP is a hard hitting, emotional journey through passionate lyrics, melodic grooves, and forceful guitar work that draws the listener in with its addictive flavor, and is just a taste of what's to come from Kris' full length album due out this year.

Experience the music of Kris Bell and the sound of today’s new American Rock Artist.

Guitarists everywhere are talking about the killer amp and effect sounds in the new Digidesign® Eleven™ Rack.

We designed it from the ground up to eliminate the problems that guitarists have always faced in the studio. Here’s a few reasons to check out Eleven Rack:

It’s got two powerful DSP processors so you’ll never have to worry about latency when recording with its built-in amp/effects tones — and your computer won’t have to carry the processing burden.

Eleven Rack automatically embeds your amp and effects settings into the audio tracks you record, enabling you to quickly recall those settings from your audio files. No more writing down settings while recording — just concentrate on playing while Eleven Rack takes care of the rest.

To top it all off, Eleven Rack even comes with Pro Tools ® LE— the most popular recording software on the planet! It all adds up to the most innovative and powerful guitar recording solution ever. Watch the video below to get a closer look at Eleven Rack in the studio.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: V2 Jekyll and Hyde Distortion Overdrive

One of my favorite distortion pedals of all time is Visual Sound's Jekyll & Hyde. The latest version of this juggernaut has upgraded foot switches and a noise gate. If you want a smooth screaming overdrive or over-the-top gain look no further than this bad boy! - Aljon

From its first appearance in 1997, the Jekyll & Hyde was the first pedal to combine two separate effects in one pedal. Now ten years later the new V2 Series gives the same great tone guitarists have come to love plus an added noise reduction system, creating the ultimate guitar dream! Each channel of the newly designed Jekyll & Hyde has separate controls, giving you the ability to use them separately, or together. The Jekyll Overdrive channel accurately reproduces the sound of the TS-808 Tubescreamer, but with a Bass Boost switch and far more output volume than the original TS-808, this Overdrive far surpasses its predecessor. The Hyde side is more than just a turbo version of Jekyll! With a heavier distortion and more bottom end, this crazy Distortion pedal is extremely versatile!

Gibson Gets Low - The 7-String Explorer

Born alongside the Flying V when rock and roll was still a toddler, Gibson’s Explorer was the most radical electric guitar ever unleashed upon the unsuspecting music world of 1958. Way ahead of its time, it failed to gain a foothold among the generally conservative players of the day, but became a major rock icon by the late ’60s, and has been taken up by countless guitar heroes over the course of the intervening decades. Flash forward to the 21st century, and the 7-string has become the choice of an increasing number of thrash and nu-metal players, who seek eviscerating tones with the gut-rumbling potential of an added low-B string. Enter Gibson’s 7-String Explorer, a natural marriage of rock’s most radical shape and the specs demanded by the most adventurous 7-string players on the scene today. This new addition to the line for Gibson’s “Rocktober” celebrations combines the proven tonal advantages of mahogany neck and body with the scorching performance of EMG pickups, all the solid playability of Gibson construction and hardware, and a none-more-black gloss Ebony nitrocellulose finish, resulting in an unmatched package for the heavy rocker.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Pigtronix Creamsicle Overdrive

The Pigtronix Creamsicle is a very refined overdrive. When the gain is increased the Creamsicle produces beautiful rich overtones with tons of harmonics and soul. The tone is big and open with no artificial artifacts added to the original tone of the guitar and amp. Creamy and rich, the Pigtronix Creamsicle keeps the compression to a minimum which in turn reduces the high end fizz and grain at higher gain settings. When backed off, the Creamsicle is warm and dynamic without being dark. The highs just kind of hang in the air when you strum a chord and each string rings out crystal clear, even in complex chord patterns. The volume knob player will adore the Creamsicle for its ability to clean up and produce chunky rhythm sounds. The Pigtronix Creamsicle is the result of a long standing collaboration between PGS and Pigtronix and we know you won’t be disappointed.

Def Leppard Cancels 3rd Leg of US Tour

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Due to unforeseen personal matters, the third leg of Def Leppard’s North American Tour, set to begin on October 22nd, has been cancelled. "We know how truly blessed we are to have such committed fans," said the band in a statement. "That's why we've agonized over this decision. Even if just a single concert, we don't take cancelling shows lightly, but unfortunately life’s commitments need to be the priority."

Ticket refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Unfortunately, this means the Nashville show set for November 24, 2009 at Sommet Center with Cheap Trick is off the books. Whatever the situation is surrounding the Def Leppard camp I wish them all the best and hope they will return to Music City next year.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Fulltone TTE Delay Effect Tube Tape Echo

It used to be that no delay could quite replicate the natural, warm, and shimmery tones of an old Echoplex tape echo—enter the Fulltone TubeTapeEcho, or TTE. Old tape echoes used to be noisy and unreliable, but the TTE is dead quiet and features revamped electronics, tape transport path, and even the tape cartridge itself to near-overkill, producing less noise than most delay pedals. The TTE can provide anywhere from a quick slapback to over 2 seconds of delay time. There is a top-panel-mounted, dual-speed toggle switch to choose between Hi-Speed and Lo-Speed operation. Hi-Speed gets you lots of Highs, less Bass, and a True Repeat without the Pitch variation of the old Echoplex. Lo-Speed is warm, with lots of Bass, less highs, and a slight "warble" that imparts a natural chorus.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Morley George Lynch Tripler Pedal

My buddy Vince from the band Philos asked me about a switcher that would allow you to switch between several different amps. Here's my suggestion. - Aljon

A high-quality device that lets you use up to 3 amps at once.

The Morley George Lynch Tripler Pedal enables you to hook up 3 amplifierss and switch each independently or in any combination. A boost knob increases the signal strength of the entire Tripler output to compensate for lost volume when using all 3 channels simultaneously. LED indication for each channel. Operates on 9V battery or optional Morley adapter.

Morley George Lynch Tripler Pedal Features:
Links up to 3 amps and switches independently or combines them in any way
Boost knob compensates for volume loss when 3 channels are used simultaneously
Housed in cold rolled steel case
LED indication for each channels
Runs of 9V battery or optional Morley adapter
2-year warranty

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: DigiTech Harmony Man

I saw this pedal demo at NAMM was really impressed. Digitech HarmonyMan Intelligent Pitch Shifter The Digitech HarmonyMan is an intelligent pitch shifting effect giving you the ability to create harmonies such as; a 3rd or 5th above or below, an octave up, 2 octaves below, 24 semitones and 4 detune variations. You can also combine 2 voices to accompany your dry signal making the possibilities expand even further. Now, we mentioned the Digitech HarmonyMan is an intelligent pitch shifter, right? I suppose youre wondering, What do you mean, intelligent? Can it solve equations? Well, no. Not exactly. By intelligent we mean the Digitech Harmony Man features Scalic Shifting. Scalic Shifting allows the HarmonyMan to create the proper harmonies dependent on the key. It also features Triad Shifting which allows you to base your harmonies around a chord structure for fixed harmonies in a certain key or using the sidechain input for chord recognition. With all this, there is really no way you cannot enjoy the Digitech HarmonyMan Intelligent Pitch Shifter. If harmonies are your game, get it on.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Wampler's Triple Recstortion

Brian Wampler's done it again! One of my favorite pedal gurus improved one of my favorite pedals, the Triple Wreck! Check it out!

The new Triple Recstortion high gain distortion pedal... designed to get that massively thick distortion through a clean amp! The Triple Recstortion was a limited run... there were only 100 pedals built.

BUT!!! We've brought the circuit back and added the ability to get PHAT QOTSA, Weezer-esque fuzz as well as AMAZING Gilmour type "Big Muff" fuzz tones!

It's here!!! The Triple Wreck Distortion! After hundreds of emails BEGGING us to bring it back... we responded! The new Triple Wreck Distortion... same high gain distortion as the Limited Edition Triple Recstortion but we've added MORE flexibility....A boost switch that changes it from the triple recstortion to more of a 'big muff pi' type tone - think david gilmour tones. With this switch turned on, it have a knob that pans between creamy fuzz to crunchy distortion.

Get it for $185.00!

Jason McClain's Pedalboard

Here's another reader submitted pedalboard. If you would like to submit a picture and description of your pedalboard please send the vitals to "tonefreq(at)gmail.com". You can even send us a YouTube link! Great stuff Jason! Thanks for sharing! - Aljon

Aljon,

I'm a big fan of your blog. I primarily play drums in a local band called The Slow and Steady Winner, but I also play a little guitar in the band as well as do some solo guitar work mostly in my home studio - Lost Anchors Recording.

Here is my main recording board: on a Pedaltrain PT-1 Ernie Ball Volume Pedal > Boss TU-2 tuner > Barber Tone Press compressor > Z. Vex Box of Rock distortion > Keeley-modded Boss TR-2 tremolo > Deltalab Stereo Chorus > Arion SAD-3 Stereo Delay > MXR Carbon Copy. This is the board I use when recording with my Bogner Metropolis 2x12" combo.

For gigs with The Slow and Steady Winner I play through a silverface Fender Bassman 70 head with a 1x12" cab with a Pedaltrain Jr. board: Boss TU-2 tuner > Z. Vex Super Duper 2-in-1 boost > Fulltone OCD distortion > Arion SAD-3 Stereo Delay > MXR Carbon Copy delay > Electro-Harmonix Holier Grail. Sometimes I add in an Electro-Harmonix Russian Big Muff after the OCD depending on the set. Check us out at myspace.com/theslowandsteadywinner and become a fan on Facebook too.

The main differences between the studio board and the gig board, besides size, are the distortions and reverb. The Bogner really responds better to the more vintage sound of the Box of Rock while the Bassman likes the brighter tone of the OCD. The Bassman lacks onboard reverb so the Holier Grail takes care of that on gigs where reverb is a big part of my guitar tone. My favorite pedal overall is the Arion delay. It's not even really a delay as much as just a spacey ambient background effect. It's by far the cheapest pedal in my collection but it's so unique and fun.

My Favorite Killer iPhone Apps for Guitarists!

Ever since I've gotten my iPhone it's been a valuable part of my everyday life! From getting driving directions to checking e-mail to even checking into my flights it's become a godsend! Here are some of my favorite iPhone apps.

STUDIOAPP
How about having a simple four track recorder that fits inside your iPhone. The StudioApp allows for instrument recording using a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapter as well as record vocals using the headphone/earbud mic. It's great for basic writing sessions. You can even save your projects, export sound files and add your own pictures as album art. Check out the "lite" version for FREE!

PETERSON ISTROBOSOFT
When it comes to strobe tuners there is only one name in my book, Peterson. I have been using Peterson Strobe tuners for years, since I was in grade school concert band! For all of its perfection those tuners come at a price - as they are known to be pretty expensive. However, if you have an iPhone you can download the iStroboSoft app from the iTunes app store and get that same quality for $9.99! Read my entire review if the iStrobosoft HERE!

PLANET WAVES CHORDMASTER
This tool is perfect for finding all the cool inversions of your favorite guitar chords. It's easy to use and eliminates having to take that chord book to your songwriting sessions. I've used this app to write song progressions at an airport!


YOWZA
Heroes t.v. star and drummer Greg Grunberg has launched a killer app called Yowza! This app allows you to download coupons on your smartphone and use them at a number of stores. One of which is Guitar Center! Yowza indeed!

GUITARIST'S REFERENCE
I love having over 3000 chord voicings, 500 scales, 500 arpeggios and triads in every inversion. It's fun, easy to use and is addictive practice tool. Download it today!

Cornell and Cantrell Jam with Pearl Jam - Hints at Possible Soundgarden Reunion

This makes me proud to have been from Seattle!

Last night at the Gibson Ampitheatre in LA a timewarp occured and everyone was transported to 1993! Chris Cornell (Audioslave/Soundgarden vocalist) joined Pearl Jam—whose current drummer, Matt Cameron, played in Soundgarden—on stage to perform “Hunger Strike,” a song by tribute band Temple of the Dog.

Cornell's Soundgarden bandmates, guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Ben Shepherd, waited in the wings, making this the first time in 13 years that all four members have appeared together publically. The news is sure to spark rumors of a reunion, since Cornell has been solo again since Audioslave’s split. Soon afterward Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell joined Pearl Jam to riff up “Alive.”

Here is some cool fan video from the concert! ENJOY!

Furman SPB-8C stereo pedal board

Often imitated, the original Furman SPB-8 was the first stereo pedal board on the market. Now Furman is proud to offer its successor, the SPB-8C. Featuring a new hardshell case, more outlets, improved jacks, and a streamlined look, the SPB-8C improves on the innovative design that made the original pedal board so popular.

Pedal Board
The SPB-8C pedal board features a heavy duty metal construction that will handle the most forceful stomps you can offer, as well as stand up to the rigors of the road.

At the heart of the SPB-8C pedal board is a light yet rugged polycarbonate platform in combination with an extruded aluminum chassis and an ample 13.75” x 26.75” Velcro™ sheet. This durable construction ensures secure, non-slip performance of your effects boxes and pedals.

The SPB-C’s stereo patch bay contains eight 1/4” switching phone jacks featuring sturdy metal bushings, connected in two stereo loops. This allows a single guitar or instrument input to feed multiple mono and stereo effects boxes, send and return from remote effects, and feed up to two amplifiers simultaneously. From modest to highly complex patching demands, the SPB-8C allows nearly unlimited set-up flexibility.

Powering your pedals, amps and other gear, the SPB-8C offers two levels of surge and short circuit protection, as well as Furman's standard level of RFI/EMI filtering. Furman's SPB-8C is quiet, powering DC pedals without hum, due to the high quality toroid transformer employed. Each DC output is rated at 120 mA, as well as being individually protected against shorts, guaranteeing that if one pedal goes out, the rest will continue to function. Further, these DC outputs are individually isolated, eliminating noisy ground loops. The SPB-8C also includes four AC outlets, spaced widely enough to accommodate bulky 'wall wart' transformers.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Roger Linn Design AdrenaLinn III

AdrenaLinn III from Roger Linn Design is a beat-synced multi-effects processor for guitar, keyboard or bass that combines 3 products in one: 1) A beat-synched multi-effects processor with exclusive Filter Sequencer What are beat-synched filter effects? Examples include tremolo, auto-pan, filter tremolo, flanger, chorus, rotary, vibrato and more, all in perfect synch to the internal drumbeats or to MIDI clock. That out-of-synch tremolo on your guitar amp won't seem as useful anymore. Plus you get innovative new effects including: • Random filtering, flanging or tremolo like a wah pedal that instantly switches to a new random position on every 1/8 or 1/16 note in sync to the beat. Or a flanger that switches to a new random frequency every 1/8 or 1/16 note. Or a tremolo in which each pulse level is randomly chosen, adding a syncopated rhythm to even simple chords. • Filter sequences: Looped 2-measure rhythmic sequences of filter tones in sync to the beat or to MIDI. Choose one of the preset sequences or program your own. A great idea generator. • Tremolo sequences: Looped 2-measure sequences of programmed volume pulses. Like that used in Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". • Arpeggio Sequences: Looped 2-measure sequences of tuned resonances, as used in John Mayer's "Bigger Than My Body". • Delay Loops: Set the beat-synced delay to 1 full measure, then jam with yourself by playing chords over the first bar and solo over them on the next. You also get note-triggered filter effects like Auto-Wah, Talk Box simulator, Guitar Synth sounds, plus stereo reverb, compression, tuner and a completely transparent noise gate. And AdrenaLinn III's filters are warm and very analog-sounding with emulations of classic Moog and Oberheim synthesizer filter designs. 2) A superb amp modeler 40 superb models of vintage and modern guitar amps from Fender, Marshall, VOX, Mesa Boogie and more, including 4 classic bass amps. Plus distortion boxes and a warm tube preamp emulation. 3) A programmable drum machine A great-sounding programmable drum machine with 200 drumbeats from rock, pop, reggae, Brazilian, techno, hip hop, jazz and more, using over 40 well-sampled drum sounds. Run the drums through the amps and beat-synched filter processing for inspiring processed beats. • Easy to use. Just select a preset and play. To adjust any of the front panel settings, simply press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to light the light next to it, then turn the knob above it. That's it. Same with the drumbeats.

Like its predecessor, AdrenaLinn III gives you modulation effects, looped filter sequences and delay loops, all playing in sync to the internal drum beats or MIDI. This model adds reverb, compression, tuner, and brings the number of amp models up to 40 (including 4 bass amps) with enhanced tube emulation and realism. New MIDI improvements permit control of nearly all settings from MIDI pedalboards, and the panel footswitches may now be reassigned to a variety of actions including amp drive boost. User presets and drumbeats are doubled to 200 each and come filled with great new examples of what this unique idea-creation box can do!

Roger Linn Design AdrenaLinn III Guitar Effects Processor Features:
-40 Amp models all enhanced for accuracy, presence and improved tube distortion
-Stereo reverb
-Compression
-Tuner
-200 user presets & 200 drumbeats filled with great sounds & beats.
-MIDI enhancements: MIDI pedalboards of up to 10 foot switches and 2 expression pedals may be assigned to control nearly all internal settings in real time.
-Programmable Amp Boost
-Foot switches can be reassigned to nearly all internal actions
-Independent guitar amp distortion for drumbeats
-Internal drum sounds may be triggered from MIDI
-Enhanced control of beat-synched random filter and flanging effects
-Improved drum sounds.
