Lehle Releases the Julian Parametric Booster

The brand new Lehle Julian is an advanced Lehle Sunday Driver SW with parametric mids and treble.


Voerde, Germany (October 04, 2013) -- The brand new Lehle Julian is an advanced Lehle Sunday Driver SW with parametric mids and treble. It is a versatile booster with +/-15dB gain. The controls ā€œGainā€ ā€œFreqā€ ā€œ Boostā€ & ā€œTrebleā€ allow settings which reproduce familiar sounds of established treble boosters. Fans of well known vintage treble boosters such as Dallas Rangemaster, and John Hornby Skews Treble Booster will love the sound of the Julian.

Since these boosters had a very low input impedance the Lehle Julian features a switch that reduces the impedance from 1 MOhm to 10 kOhm. All settings from ā€žmuffledā€œ to ā€žedgyā€œ are always pleasing, there is no dull or piercing sound. The overdrive grade of the connected amp can be fine-tuned with the gain pot ranging from super clean to distorted. The Lehle Julian always delivers a clean output thanks to its JFET input stage. Its personal dynamic derives from the fact that the incoming current is rectified, stabilized and doubled to 18V right after the powersocket.

In OFF status, the Lehle Julian provides two different modes : TB (= True Bypass) or TS (= True Sound with active buffer) . The Bypass mode option enables the Lehle Julian to integrate ideally into any set-up, whether as a battery-operated stand-alone unit, or in an existing pedal board, either with vintage or modern equipment. The Lehle Julian will be available in November 2013.

This Japan-made Guyatone brings back memories of hitchinā€™ rides around the U.S.

This oddball vintage Guyatone has a streak of Jack Kerouacā€™s adventurous, thumbing spirit.

The other day, I saw something I hadnā€™t noticed in quite some time. Driving home from work, I saw an interesting-looking fellow hitchhiking. When I was a kid, ā€œhitchersā€ seemed much more common, but, then again, the world didnā€™t seem as dangerous as today. Heck, I can remember hitching to my uncleā€™s cabin in Bradford, Pennsylvaniaā€”home of Zippo lightersā€”and riding almost 200 miles while I sat in a spare tire in the open bed of a pickup truck! Yes, safety wasnā€™t a big concern for kids back in the day.

When you imagine an ideal creative space, what do you see? A loft? A barn? A cabin far from distraction? Reveling in such visions is inspiration and a beautiful escape. Reality for most of us, though, is different. Weā€™re lucky to have a corner in the kitchen or a converted closet to make music in. Still, thereā€™s a romance and sense of possibility in these modest spaces, and the 15-watt, 1x10, all-tubeSupro Montauk is an amplifier well suited to this kind of place. It enlivens cramped corners with its classy, colorful appearance. Itā€™s compact. Itā€™s also potent enough to sound and respond like a bigger amp in a small room.
