A three-channel distortion/fuzz mashup.
Portland, Oregon (June 12, 2019) -- Hovercraft Amps have created a 3-channel distortion/fuzz stompbox – The Laguna Sunride – as a new set of sonic wheels to take a good long trip into riffland.
This pedal is the striped and sidepiped showpiece of many design and build sessions in the Hovercraft garage. The Laguna Sunride can drive and reshape a mild tube amp beyond its stock tone and gain capabilities, wake up a clinical sounding solid state rig, or even function as a preamp. The controls are designed to be interactive just like a tube amp. From dirty blues overdrive to fat riff rock, blissed out singing fuzz to full contact metal aggression, this pedal stacks solid sonic reflexes into your amp. Ease the seat back and hit the gas.
Features:
- Handmade in USA
- 3 channels: Lead, Fuzz & Crunch
- All metal construction with cast metal ‘goofy foot’ control guards
- Simple controls: Gain, Tone, Master Volume dials with 3–way voice switch
- True bypass on/off switch
- 9v battery or DC wall wart operation
- Sweet 8-track inspired woodgrain side panel & kustom van graphics
The Laguna Sunride is ready to roll worldwide for $199.

You're not visiting Gibson and not checking out Les Pauls, and were lucky enough to see two fresh faces with the Warren Haynes signature that has a chunky mahogany neck, a pair of growly P-90s, and most notably, a small switch that ignites a clean boost for an angrier purr.
These might look like old Gibson friends (and that's the point), but these are fresh out of the factory in Bozeman, Montana. Under the watchful eye of Tom Murphy, the relic rage has fully sunk deeper into their acoustic operation as they're now offering heavy-aged options for their flattops like the 1960 Hummingbird and 1939 SJ-100, which hasn't been made in nearly 90 years!
Vega-Trem brought a new tool to the trade show with the introduction of the VT1 Evolution that works for all the Floyd-Rose freaks to give you all the dive-bomb debauchery, but with a flick of a switch, you had a blocked trem that lets you easily slide into drop-D tuning or open tunings for slide. It's a piece of machined metal, but the ingenious design will help gigging guitarists cover a lot of ground on any given set without any guitar changes.
