PG's Jordan Wagner is On Location in Anaheim, CA, for the NAMM
2010 Show where he visits the Godlyke Distribution booth. In this
segment, we get to see and hear new products from Emma Effects, TWA and
Maxon.
This years from Emma Effects, we get introduced to the
StinkBug, ReezaFRATzitz and PsidiYAUwot. The StinkBug is a classic
overdrive. The low and high controls gives a great control of the
amount of mids in the pedal. Turn them both down, and the midrange
comes out, but without being nasal. Turn them up, and the mids gets
slightly scooped, still keeping the sound full and punchy. The
PsidiYAUwot is Emma's take on a metal pedal.
The TWA Triskelion
is a harmonic energizer that uses vintage Synth technology to re-shape
the harmonic structure of the input signal, adding punch, clarity and
depth to any guitar tone. The TK-1s specially tuned filter can create
glassy clean tones, boost midrange for throaty solos, or tune your rig
to the room for a wall of singing, resonant feedback. Massive amp
sounds, explosive lead-breaks, infinite sustain, and downright nasty,
energy-intense tones are just a few of the uses for the Triskelion.
The
Maxon Super Tube Pro is Maxon's salute to the rare and highly
collectible "Super Tube Screamer" from the 1980's, the new Maxon ST-9
Pro+ Super Tube takes the basic design elements of that coveted vintage
model and brings them into the 21st century. Loosely based on Maxons
classic 808 circuit, the ST-9 Pro+ offers a dedicated midrange control
that varies the amount of Midrange boost, creating powerful, fat and
heavy distortion sounds akin to a full stack amplifier. A mode switch
to select from two different diode types allows the user to fine-tune
the ST-9 Pro+ for use with single coils or humbuckers, while switchable
9- or 18-volt operation provides increased dynamic headroom and fuller
frequency response.
The Maxon Super Metal is based on the
cult-classic Super Metal pedal from the 1980's, the new Maxon SM-9 Pro+
packs sufficient firepower to accurately reproduce all the tonal
evolutions of metal music over the past 30 years. The SM-9 Pro+
features Gain, Level, Scoop, and Edge controls. Gain simultaneously
boosts the 1 kHz midrange band by up to 20 dB as Gain is increased.
Scoop is a mid-band elimination filter that is variable between 200 Hz
2 kHz. Edge is a hi-cut shelving filter that cuts hi frequencies from 2
kHz to 15 kHz. The SM-9 Pro+ also features switchable 9 or 18 volt
operation, providing sufficient heardroom with minimal compression to
handle today's high-output pickups and active electronics.
