Tone Freq's Daily Pedal: Wampler's Talent Booster

When I saw Brian Wampler post this new pedal picture on his Facebook page I thought it was some kind of joke. I still chuckle at the pedal's name. Here's the description from his website.

Sometimes you just need that "11" on your guitar or amp... something to to beat your amp into submission and show it who's boss...

It's finally here... the TALENT booster. It's true! Step on the button and instant talent... well, that's not entirely true but stepping on the button will catapult your signal making your amp much more responsive. I've designed this pedal to be very touch sensitive and warm, yet it has a switch to add in some mids and presence if you need extra 'girth'. It's a very transparent JFET based booster, and has a 'gain' control (which allows you to have a hint of dirt), a volume control, and a presence switch which will add in some mids and highs.

Cranking up the gain and you can add just a bit of natural compression and a bit of grind that makes a clean tone jump out... it doesn't change your tone at all however, it just ADDs to it!

It works well as a simple solo boost as well - place it behind your favorite overdrive or distortion (or use it in your amp's effects loop) and it will allow you to get your solo tones way out in front.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Wampler Pedal's Faux Tape Echo

As close as we could come to a tape echo machine... the faux tape echo is basically the analogecho (which is a favorite of many guitarists such as Brad Paisley) crossed with a unique circuit the speeds up and slows down the echos, just like a real tape echo. It isn't modulating like other 'tape echo' emulations though... many of them sound like a chorus pedal in the background... while that is a cool sound in itself, a tape echo's 'flutter' created modulation tones by the recording tape slightly speeding up and slowing down - that's why we duplicated the modulation circuit to do the same thing.

If you are tired of wimpy sterile delay tones or just simply wish that your analog delay could get brighter, the faux echo is your pedal! While the echoes are created digitally, the base signal is all analog and is extremely transparent. The echoes are not sterile and brittle like a digital delay though - they are big, full and FAT.


Max delay time: about 600ms

Specs
*High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and response
*Completely true bypass
*Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
*controls: level, repeats, delay time, modulation depth, tone control on repeats (darker or brighter echoes)
*Ultra-bright LED for ease of use
*Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
*Powder coated durable finish
*5 year warranty
