ProTone Raven Dirty Chorus PedalProTone Raven Dirty Chorus Pedal

Doing double duty as both a guitar and bass effect pedal, the Raven Dirty Chorus reproduces the classic sounds of bassist/ producer Paul Raven. Lurking under the lush chorus is a layer of thick overdrive, designed to meet Raven’s stiff requirements. With a simple flick of the Chop Chop switch, found on the deluxe model only, the chorus converts to a slurred vibrato, allowing for even more tone possibilities. The Kaw switch is another deluxe exclusive and adjusts the bass frequency response for maximum flexibility.

Celestion G12 EVH SpeakersCelestion G12 EVH Speakers

Eddie Van Halen has always sworn by original Celestion 20-watt “Greenback” speakers for his sound. Now, Celestion is repaying this loyalty with the G12 EVH. The G12, part of Celestion’s Heritage Series, is a faithful reproduction of the original Greenbacks. For the EVH version, Celestion scrapped the traditional green back, replacing it with black, harkening back to rare “Blackback” speakers. The speakers are made specially for Fender’s EVH 5150-III cabinets.
