GALLERY: NAMM 2018 Day 3

The third day of NAMM was full of tone toys from Boss, Marshall, Vola, Marshall, Diamond Pedals, and more.

Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation and OD Locomotive

Crazy Tube Circuits came to NAMM from Greece loaded with four new pedals including the Constellation, which dials up the grit of five classic fuzz boxes including the Tone Bender and Treble Booster, and the tube-driven bass OD Locomotive. They’re not cheap, at $321 for the Constellation and $334 for the Locomotive, but they’re well built and sound smart. There’s also the StonedHz V2, with highly controllable ring modulation and the tube amp inspired Ziggy 2 driver, which doubles up the company’s successful Ziggy.

As head of Breedlove and Bedell Guitars, he’s championed sustainability and environmental causes—and he wants to tell you about it.

As the owner of the Breedlove and Bedell guitar companies, Tom Bedell has been a passionate advocate for sustainable practices in acoustic guitar manufacturing. Listening to him talk, it’s clear that the preservation of the Earth’s forests are just as important to Bedell as the sound of his guitars. You’ll know just how big of a statement that is if you’ve ever had the opportunity to spend time with one of his excellently crafted high-end acoustics, which are among the finest you’ll find. Over the course of his career, Bedell has championed the use of alternative tonewoods and traveled the world to get a firsthand look at his wood sources and their harvesting practices. When you buy a Bedell, you can rest assured that no clear-cut woods were used.
