Maxon Delay

Just when you thought you’d have to go digital, Godlyke unveils the Maxon AD999 Analog Delay. The newest member of the highly touted Maxon Vintage Series Effects, the AD999 is the most ambitious and practical analog delay pedal that Maxon has ever produced.

Each AD999 comes loaded with 8 custom-made Maxon MN3107D bucket brigade IC’s for a total of 900 milliseconds of rich, organic, 3-dimensional analog tone. Like past Maxon analogs, the AD999’s controls have been kept to a minimum to free the unit from unwanted noise and to simplify operation.

HAO - SP-1 Sole Pressure booster/overdrive

Godlyke Inc. is proud to announce a new addition to the HAO line of hand-built effects, the SP-1 Sole Pressure booster/overdrive for guitar.

Originally designed as a low frequency booster, the Sole Pressure is an ideal pedal for those who want to add more lows and warmth to thin-sounding guitars and generate the fattest tones imaginable. With the Drive knob cranked the SP-1 is reminiscent of overdriven 6V6 tubes in the legendary vintage tweed amps of the 50's. With Drive and Level controls and a 3-position mini switch (selects from Normal, Bright, and Warm EQ curves) the tonal options of the SP-1 are infinite.

 It is UP YOUR BUTT. Yee-haw.    
 
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. More @ http://www.carlmartin.com/

 Sola Sound Pedals direct from Colorsound!    
 
Until the Sola / Colorsound feature is ready, I recomend you checkout Sola Sound London, the company that makes Colorsound pedals - yes the same company that made them back in the sixties! Loads of people think that they dissappeared but they have been selling them exclusively through their store in London's West End and now through ebay. Dont settle with a replica that says - '..... sounds just like it etc. etc. ' get the real thing from Sola Sound London!

 
     

 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!”
