Due to huge demand and a mass of enquiries from musicians across the globe, the Tender Octaver micro pedal from Mooer is back!!! The Tender Octaver mkII has retained the simplistic controls and tiny form factor that was so popular with it’s predecessor, plus some very special updates.

Armed with three brand-new algorithms and a true analog dry through signal, the Tender Octave MkII is sure to provide all your octave harmony needs. A very unique little polyphonic octave pedal with endless tonal possibilities.

The Fat algorithm contains a huge bassy lower octave that can shake the walls and a soft toned upper voicing, for a very natural upper octave shimmer. Fat riffs and simulated bass guitar really shine in this mode.

The Tight algorithm has a more focused lower octave with a higher, low eq, cut off point and a sharper upper octave bite. Shredders, fusion players and organ hunters alike, will find sonic delight when flipping the switch into tight mode.

Swell mode provides automatic volume swelling of the harmony voices, providing a soft attack and lush release whilst the original dry signal remains completely untouched. Great for emulating a 12-string guitar or creating ambient chords and sound scapes.

Some of the key features:

  • Independent SUB, UPPER and DRY controls to really get the pedal dialed in
  • 3 brand new algorithms instantly provide very different tones at the flip of a switch
  • All analog dry through signal completely retains your original instrument in all its glory
  • Micro Size and metal housing for the best in portability and road worthy construction
  • True Bypass switching

The Tender Octaver MkII will be available from official Mooer dealers and distributors worldwide at a street price of around $99 USD each.

An affordable version of Eastman’s U.S.-made solidbody rolls with unique, well-executed features—at a price and quality level that rivals very tough competition.

Eastman’s instruments regularly impress in terms ofquality and performance. A few left my PG colleagues downright smitten. But if Eastman isn’t a household name among guitarists, it might be a case of consumer psychology: Relative to most instruments built in China, Eastmans are expensive. So, if you spend your life longing for a Gibson 335 and a comparable (if superficially fancier) Eastman costs just 20 percent less than the least expensive version of the real deal, why not save up for a bit longer and get the guitar of your dreams?

This collaborative effort between Japanese and American guitar builders aimed for old-school quality without breaking the bank.

I recently called a rideshare to pick me up from the airport and was surprised when the driver pulled up in a Jaguar. I’d never been in one and was stunned at how quiet it was, and how the backseat was as comfortable as a living room couch, but retained a refined look. This 1998 Masterbilt prototype reminds me of that airport ride.
