Anaheim, CA (February 6, 2008) - Check out the distortion possibilities at your fingertips with these Seymour Duncan pedals. The SFX-08 Power Grid Distortion pedal is a high gain, solid state stomp with a three-band active EQ. It has a multi-element gain and volume control that lets youĀ dial inĀ the power, crunch and sustain you''re looking for. SD''s Frank Falbo lets you hear it all in this video. The SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem is a hard core metal player''s ultimate weapon, using a pair of 62051 pentode tubes to give you a full onslaught of preamped, boosted distortion that covers every nuance of thrash and doom. The dynamic range is nuts -- despite its ability to dial in the heavist of heavy thrash goodness, it can also reign in those old-school heavier rock tones that you can only achieve with tubed circuitry.

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.

When the first Moog synthesizer appeared, it freaked out a lot of musiciansā€”not least for the way it blurred the divisions between instruments and their roles. Was it percussion? A keyboard? A reed instrument? Many effects makers build from this philosophical foundation. The Latvian company Gamechanger often seems to revel in itā€”an attitude thatā€™s manifest in the companyā€™s Auto Series pedals, which includes the Auto Reverb.
