The quintet of new pedals includes the Space Charged, Deranged, Splash mk3 stereo +, White Whale, and Echotopia.
Athens, Greece (January 16, 2017) -- Justifying our brand name, we are proud to announce our first-ever tube overdrive/distortion pedal: Space Charged
Space Charged
The pedal features a 12AY7 preamp tube, powered from a standard 9V DC power supply with an internal voltage multiplier to make the tube feel more comfortable! You will exprerience warm, organic, tube tone with excellent touch sensitivity from clean boost to authentic classic-rock distortion.
Deranged
In search of the ultimate envelope filter, we set out to mod a classic design of the past to match the needs of the modern player. To make the pedal a little more exciting and ācrazy,ā we added analog gated fuzz with switchable -1, +1, and +2 octaves. You can use both effects simultaneously or independently via the pair of easily accessible footswitches. A dry out level control makes the effect perfectly suitable for guitar, bass, or keyboards.
Splash mk3 stereo +
A lot of our customers asked for a stereo version of our award-winning reverb. And we listened! This pedal features the same studio quality reverb algorithms of the mono versionābut is now expanded in stereo.
In addition to the separate mix and level controls for each channel, you can choose between two presets of excite, decay, and mix with momentary or latching operation. Add an expression pedal to control decay/excite or even remotely bypass/engage the effect and switch between the two presets. Excite your tone with Splash mk3 stereo + and its many layers of practical functionality.
White Whale
Why do you have to struggle for a digital emulation of two classic effects when you can have the real thing? Thatās what we asked ourselves when capturing the concept of White Whale. It features a real spring-reverb tank along with controls for dwell, mix, and tone to provide the lushest spring reverb youāll ever find in a pedal of its size. Combined with its two selectable modes of analog tremolo, the White Whale is all youāll ever need to deliver old-school surf tones.
Echotopia
We are proud to announce Echotopia, a retro tape-echo-style delay with four headsāeach with its own mix/feedback control for the ultimate control of rhythmic patterns. Features include controls for delay time (40 ms up to 1,200 ms), echo feedback, mood/tone of the repeats, and rate and depth for sine-wave modulation. The tap tempo/hold footswitch adds extra flexibility and makes the effect ideal for live situations. Set the pedal in mono or stereo ping-pong output operation (internal switch sets which head goes left or right).

PG contributor Tom Butwin reveals his favorite songwriting secret weapon: the partial capo. Watch how the Shubb C7 and C8 can simulate alternate tunings without retuning your guitarāand spark fresh creative ideas instantly.
Shubb C8b Partial Capo for Drop-D Tuning - Brass
The C8 covers five of the six strings, leaving either the low E or high E string open, depending on how it's positioned.
- Standard setup: Placed on the 2nd fret while leaving the low E string open, it simulates Drop D-style soundsāexcept you're still in standard tuning (key of E). You get that big, droning bass feel without retuning.
- Reverse setup: Flipping the capo allows the high E string to ring, giving you shimmering drones and new melodic options across familiar chord shapes.
- A flexible tool that lets you simulate alternate tunings and create rich sonic texturesāall while keeping your guitar in standard tuning.
Shubb C7b Partial Capo for DADGAD Tuning - Brass
The C7 covers three of the six stringsāeither D, G, and B or A, D, and Gādepending on how it's flipped.
- Typical setup (D, G, B): Creates an open A chord shape at the 2nd fret without needing your fingers. This frees you up for new voicings and droning notes in the key of A.
- Reversed setup (A, D, G): Gets you close to a DADGAD-style tuning vibe, but still keeps you in standard tuningāgreat for modal, spacious textures often found in folk or cinematic guitar parts.
Use it alone or stack it with the C8 for wild, layered effects and truly out-of-the-box inspiration.
The Future Impact V4 is an incredibly versatile pedal with an exceptional range of sounds. In addition to producing synthesizer sounds such as basses, leads and pads, it can function as an octaver, chorus, flanger, phaser, distortion, envelope filter, traditional wah-wah, tremolo, reverb, etc., and even has a built-in tuner. It can potentially replace an entire pedalboard of dedicated single-effect pedals.
The very powerful signal processor of the Future Impact V4 is able to replicate the various oscillator, filter, amplifier and envelope generator blocks found in classic synthesizers. In addition, it contains signal processing blocks more traditionally used for processing the sound of an instrument such as a harmonizer block and audio effects such as chorus, distortion and EQ. These architectures complement each other in a very flexible way.
Setting the standard for the bass guitar synth pedals since 2015, together with an enthusiastic community and long line of great artists, the Future Impact V4 is the guitar synth platform for the next decade.
Belltone Guitars has partnered Brickhouse Toneworks to create a one-of-a-kind, truly noiseless Strat/Tele-tone pickup in a standard FilterāTron size format: the Single-Bell pickup.
The Single-Bell by Brickhouse Toneworks delivers bonafide single-coil Strat and Tele tones with the power of a P-90 and no 60-cycle hum. Unlike typical stacked hum-cancelling designs, Brickhouse Toneworks uses a proprietary āsidewindā approach that cancels the 60-cycle hum without sacrificing any of the dynamics or top-end sparkle of a Fender-style single coil.
Get the best of both worlds with clear bell-like tones on the neck pickup, signature quack when combining the neck and bridge pickups, and pristine twang in the bridge position backed with the fullness and power of a P-90. Push these into overdrive and experience the hallmark blues tone with plenty of grit and harmonic sustain ā all with completely noiseless performance.
Key Features of the Single-Bell:
- Cast Alnico 5 Magnet, designed to be used with 500k pots
- Voiced to capture that signature Fender-style single coil tone without the 60-cycle hum
- Lightly potted to minimize squeal
- Made in the USA with premium quality materials
The retail price for a Bridge and Neck matching set is $340.00 and theyāre available directly and exclusively through BelltoneĀ® Guitars / Brickhouse Toneworks at belltoneguitars.com.
