Stevenson Ranch, CA (July 27, 2012) – The new Decibel Eleven Split Personality amp switcher gives electric guitar players a clear performance edge beginning with elimination of the buzz and hum caused by ground loops, announced Chris Hern, Decibel Eleven vice president of product development.
The advanced DB-11 Split Personality amp switcher features include a Class-A discrete input buffer engineered to eliminate the losses and loading problems associated with splitting and a classic AB/Y format with an additional mute option. The compact Split Personality design is the only amp switcher pedal that is MIDI controllable and provides easy integration with any MIDI-controlled set up that allows remote access to 128 custom presets.
“Guitar players using Split Personality amp switchers can be absolutely confident in their sound quality so they can relax and enjoy delivering great performances,” stated Hern. “As musicians and design engineers, the DB-11 team is committed to creating advanced products with exceptional sound performance, reliability and value.”

Hotone Wong Press
Cory Wong Signature Volume/Wah/Expression Pedal
Renowned international funk guitar maestro and 63rd Grammy nominee Cory Wong is celebrated for his unique playing style and unmistakable crisp tone. Known for his expressive technique, he’s been acclaimed across the globe by all audiences for his unique blend of energy and soul. In 2022, Cory discovered the multi-functional Soul Press II pedal from Hotone and instantly fell in love. Since then, it has become his go-to pedal for live performances.
Now, two years later, the Hotone team has meticulously crafted the Wong Press, a pedal tailored specifically for Cory Wong. Building on the multi-functional design philosophy of the Soul Press series, this new pedal includes Cory’s custom requests: a signature blue and white color scheme, a customized volume pedal curve, an adjustable wah Q value range, and travel lights that indicate both pedal position and working mode.
Cory’s near-perfect pursuit of tone and pedal feel presented a significant challenge for our development team. After countless adjustments to the Q value range, Hotone engineers achieved the precise WAH tone Cory desired while minimizing the risk of accidental Q value changes affecting the sound. Additionally, based on Cory’s feedback, the volume control was fine-tuned for a smoother, more musical transition, enhancing the overall feel of volume swells. The team also upgraded the iconic travel lights of the Soul Press II to dual-color travel lights—blue for Wah mode and green for Volume mode—making live performances more intuitive and visually striking!
In line with the Hotone Design Inspiration philosophy, the Wong Press represents the perfect blend of design and inspiration. Now, musicians can channel their inner Cory Wong and enjoy the freedom and joy of playing with the Wong Press!
