The GB Tracker and Satellite offer a combination instrument DI and re-amplifying device, intended as an all-in-one solution for capturing a line level DI signal and re-amping it.
This unique design features detent’d gain-matching input and output level controls that allow you to always maintain a precise unity gain through the DI to re-amplification path. This, combined with the effort to match the most commonly used impedances on popular guitars, basses and amps, makes the GB-Tracker sonically transparent. A guitar or bass going through the GB-Tracker will sound exactly the same as plugging directly into your amp.
The Satellite puts the re-amplifying half of the GB Tracker in its own box, allowing you to send the DI’d signal to an amp in another room or daisy chain the signal to multiple amps. The ground and phase switches allow you to isolate the grounding and reverse the phase on each individual amp.
The recording process made possible by the GB-Tracker both simplifies the workflow AND adds tons of flexibility. Once you have captured and edited everything with the clean DI signal, you can then perfect the tone by re-amplifying the captured/edited performance through your favorite amps and mics.

Another pedal, another chance to win! Enter Stompboxtober Day 27 for your shot at today’s pedal from Gibson Maestro Pedals!
Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M Fuzz Pedal
Maestro created the world’s first fuzz pedal – the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1. Introduced in 1962, the Fuzz-Tone became the sound of rock and roll and a must-have accessory for guitarists everywhere after the success of 1965’s (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, which prominently featured its cutting edge sound. Now Maestro is bringing the fun and sonic fury of those early Fuzz-Tones back with the new Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M. This all-analog pedal boasts a Mode toggle switch that provides two pedals in one functionality for increased sonic versatility with both an FZ-1 inspired fuzz sound and a thicker, more modern fuzz tone. Its 3-knob control layout gives you intuitive control. The Attack knob controls the amount of fuzz. The Tone control lets you adjust the timbre from bright and raspy to warm and wooly and anywhere in between. Use the Level control to set the output volume; it can go way beyond unity gain when desired. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it’s on, so you’ll always know when the effect is active.

This is a developing story.
Vintage-style reverb, tremolo, and vibrato sounds abound in a 3-in-1 stomp that might be the only box you need.
The Keeley ZOMA combines two of iconic amp effects—tremolo and reverb—into one pedal.
Key Features of the ZOMA
● Intuitive Control Layout: Three large knobs give you full control over Reverb Level, Tremolo Rate,and Depth
● Easy Access to Alternate Controls: Adjust Reverb Decay, Reverb Tone, and Tremolo Volume withsimple alt-controls.
● Instant Effect Order Switching: Customize your signal path. Position tremolos after reverb for avintage, black-panel tone or place harmonic tremolo before reverb for a dirty, swampy sound.
● True Bypass or Buffered Trails: Choose the setting that best suits your rig.
Three Reverb and Tremolo Modes:
● SS – Spring Reverb & Sine Tremolo: Classic spring reverb paired with a sine wave tremolo for that timelessblack-panel amp tone.
● PH – Plate Reverb & Harmonic Tremolo: Smooth, bright plate reverb combined with swampy harmonictremolo.
● PV – Plate Reverb & Pitch Vibrato: Achieve a vocal-like vibrato with ethereal plate reverb.
Reverb: Sounds & Controls
