Tone Talk with Seymour Duncan

This month's lineup spans a lot of ground — Blackstar shrinks metal-ready gain into its portable Fly amp, EarthQuaker and Sunn O))) team up on a pedalboard-sized version of their heavyweight distortion circuit, and Royer tackles the notoriously tricky job of mic'ing steel-string acoustic with a new ribbon design. Also featured: a tube buffer from Fryette, a stereo chorus inspired by the Roland CE-1, a self-adjusting capo from G7th, a 3/4-size travel acoustic, and Positive Grid's app-controlled combo amp.
