GALLERY: NAMM 2013 - Day 4

What our editors saw on the final day of Winter NAMM 2013.

"Immix Eleven's completely redesigned new V-Series 30 is powered by four EL84s and features two channels. Channel one uses an EF86 and has a 6-position tone selector and a brightness cut knob, while channel two uses three 12AX7s and a 3-band EQ section. There are also master and gain knobs, as well as a colour control that lets you select the shade of the isolated LEDs that illuminate the logo panelяor you can set it to automatically cycle through them."

The Gibson EH-185, introduced in 1939, was one of the company’s first electric guitars.

Editorial Director Ted Drozdowski’s current favorite noisemakers.

Premier Guitar’s edit staff shares their favorite fuzz units and how and when they use them.

Premier Guitar’s editors use their favorite fuzz pedals in countless ways. At any point during our waking hours, one of us could be turned on, plugged in, and fuzzed out—chasing a Sabbath riff, tracking menacing drone ambience, fire-branding a solo break with a psychedelic blast, or something else altogether more deranged. As any PGreader knows, there are nearly infinite paths to these destinations and almost as many fuzz boxes to travel with. Germanium, silicon, 2-transistor, 4-transistor, 6-transistor, octave, multimode, modern, and caveman-stupid: Almost all of these fuzz types are represented among our own faves, which are presented here as inspiration, and launch pads for your own rocket rides to the Fuzz-o-sphere.
