Tech 21 Roto Choir (LEFT) –
This rotary speaker simulator
emulates the entire signal chain of a
mic’d Leslie cabinet, from the tube
power amp to the low-frequency
speaker, high-frequency horn, and
XY stereo-mic setup. The pedal’s
Fast/Slow switch lets you slow
down, ramp up, or even pause the
simulated rotary speaker in a variety
of positions to create a cool “frozen
flange” effect. The Roto Choir has a
buffered bypass, a Bi-Amp switch,
a Drive control, and stereo outputs.

Red Witch Seven Sisters
– This new line of diminutive pedals—the Lily Boost, Eve Tremolo, Ivy Distortion,
Scarlett Overdrive, Violet Delay, Grace Compressor, and Ruby Fuzz—
provides a lot of pedalboard convenience. For starters, each is powered by
a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, thus eliminating the need for outboard
power. Secondly, their jacks are located along the top edge, which means
they can be placed closer together to optimize pedalboard space.

Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer
– Roland has long been a leader in the guitar-synth industry, but the new GR-55
goes a long way toward simplifying the process of getting a universe of sounds
out of your MIDI-pickup-equipped guitar. It’s housed in the smallest guitar-synth
housing we’ve seen, and has perhaps the cleanest, most uncluttered interface
on the market. It includes revamped pitch-detection technology, more than 900
editable PCM sounds, COSM modeling (23 guitar types and 17 bass types), two
multi-effect engines, looping capability, and 297 memory slots.

Visual Sound Dual
Tap Delay
– The Dual Tap features
two independent
delay circuits that
are identical except
for the Modulation
control that lets you
add some chorus-type
sounds to the
second circuit. The
Tap Tempo footswitch
locks both channels
into a single tempo,
or a metronome input
allows you to sync
delays with an outside
source. You can
also select quarter,
eighth, dotted-eighth,
and eighth-note-triplet
repeat values.
