API unveils API Select, a new line of pro audio gear engineered to compliment API's classic mic pre's, equlizers and compressors. The GTR and CMP models both offer unique features and include a signature API output transformer.
Building on the original TranZformer GT and LX pedals first introduced in 2016, API announces two new pedals; the TranZformer GTR for guitar equalization and the TranZformer CMP for compression effects. Both pedals are designed to fit into a standard pedalboard and both use standard 9 volt power supplies.

Revolution-Dynamic 3in1 Overdrive Pedal
The “Revolution” dynamic overdrive pedal is a powerful and very flexible overdrive pedal. It’s based on a tube screamer style circuit but on “steroids” giving you smooth creamy overdrive tones full of depth and reactive sounds depending on your style of playing. It comes installed with a three-way toggle switch which gives you complete overdrive tonal flexibility when you need it. With the switch in the centre position the overdrive circuit runs through an Op amp integrated circuit, the switch in the upper/forward position the circuit runs through silicon diodes, the switch in the rearward/aft position runs through LED diodes providing three different types of overdrive clipping. The Revolution gives you three separate overdrive pedals in one box and is one of my personal all-time favourite pedals

I feel so honored to have now joined such an elite group of players that are a part of this club. Many who have inspired me along this journey to get here. It’s truly humbling.” says Diamond.
