Williams Engineering - Exact Vintage Clones / Mods and more
I'm really excited to have been working with Williams Engineering on some wicked clones of some of the all time classic pedals. Much of my vintage collection have been used to help make pain-stakingingly accurate builds of some mega buck pedals like tonebenders, fuzz faces etc and some real rarities like the Top Gear models and much more.
The guys from Williams Engineering have been in the amp and pedal build and repair field for many years, working as touring techs and in stores building to order and performing repairs and mods. I'll post more info as soon as I have it so keep an eye on the site.

New Upgraded Godlyke Power-All
New out from those great people at Godlyke is an upgraded version of the very popular Power-All. Godlyke have recognised the new and ever increasing power demands expected from some of todays pedals and have surpassed those requirements with the new Power-All.
For a start, the Power-All has recently been upgraded to provide a whopping 2000 milliamps of current to meet the demands of today’s complex pedalboards and digital multi-effects. The improved Power-All also features additional noise filtering circuitry and a longer, 10 foot power cable to power your pedals more quietly and effectively.
The new Power-All has pride of place on my touring board now and I highly recomend you take a look at it.

TWA Little Dipper envelope-controlled filter
 |
Just in from Godlyke, looks like lots of fun to be had with this, I'll try and get my hands on one to demo.
"The Little Dipper is an envelope-controlled vocal formant filter based on a classic 70’s circuit. Its dual filters react to playing dynamics, creating peaks and notches that simulate the vowel sounds of human speech. The Little Dipper allows the user to emulate talk boxes, auto-wahs, filters, and phase shifters, as well as creating strikingly vocal wah-sounds. A built-in fuzz circuit emphasizes harmonics for a more dramatic effect while dry blend and noise-gate trim pots offer a full-frequency response with ultra-low noise operation."

Metasonix introduces an all-new effect pedal which is aimed at the "Butt Guitarist" crowd.
Because guitarists deserve, and WANT, some anus-stretching.
The Metasonix TX-2 is entirely made of vacuum tubes. To be specific,three type 4BN6 beam modulator devices. They were intended for use in crummy TV sets as FM detectors, and were NOT meant for audio processing applications. They SUCK. Really, really, badly.

| New Bass Pedal From Carl Martin |
|
|
|
| |
|
What's the difference between the old Chorus XII and the Bass Chorus? Nearly all chorus effects are made for guitar use, therefore when used on bass the effect is concentrated on the midrange
notes, therefore the effect is very weak on the low notes. The bass chorus is especially made for bass, it has the effect full intact as far down as the low B, it's a huge difference.

| Godlyke, Inc. reissues Bixonic Expandora |
|
|
|
| |
Godlyke, Inc. is very proud to announce the release of the EXP-2000R Bixonic Expandora.
More than simply a reissue, the EXP-2000R takes the legendary EXP-2000 Expandora multi-stage distortion circuit and improves upon it by adding front-mounted DIP switches to control the unit’s multiple gain stages. With the original EXP-2000 these controls were accessed from the rear battery compartment - this new design allows settings to be changed “on the fly.” To quote Billy Gibbons, Expandora fanatic extraordinaire: “no screwdriver (or brain) required!”
