A new line of pedal-sized guitar amplifiers: the Miniamp/D.I. 100W Series is launching with four models, each boasting 100 watts of output power.
The different models replicate four of the most iconic amps in rock history, including the Fender Blackpanel, Marshall Plexi, Hiwatt and Vox. Each Foxgear Miniamp can faithfully reproduce the exact tone and behavior of their tube relatives. The four models are:
- M-1959: British classic rock amp based on a Marshall Plexi.
- HW-103: Another British icon based on a Hiwatt
- TW-100: An American style amp based on a black panel Fender Twin Reverb
- V-100: Based on the chiming British classic Vox tone

Foxgear TW-100
The Miniamp/D.I. series is a compact, pedal-sized enclosure that can be used as a full-fledged guitar amplifier delivering up to 100 watts RMS into 4-ohm guitar cabinet, or it can be used as a Preamp with a couple of very useful options. The left side of the Miniamp D.I. is dedicated to the XLR Balanced Out, that has two controls and a switch. The control is an independent XLR’s out Volume, the control lets you choose between Direct or Cab Sim option, in case you want to exclude it and apply your favorite cab sim or IR from your DAW.
The other control delivers the Miniamp’s secret weapon: the VARICAB. Varicab is a 100% Analog Variabla Cab Simulator, not just another EQ control, it works on the feedback of the preamp and allows you to change the behavior of your amp in terms of frequencies, response, compression, punchiness. You’ll be able to get from your PA the same sound you’re hearing behind you from your guitar cab. It can be used only as a guitar amplifier on stage from the Speaker out, or for recording at home only from the XLR out with no need of a cabinet connected, or both together on stage.
Each Foxgear Miniamp/D.I. 100W Series amp carries a retail price of $249 USD. Foxgear products are currently distributed in USA by Alpha Distribution. For more information: https://www.foxgeardistribution.com.
A collaboration with David Bowie bassist Tim Lefebvre goes back to the '80s to create the ideal swoosh box.
Forlì, Italy (July 29, 2019) -- One of the most important and distinctive guitar effects of the 80’s must be the chorus; able to transform a clean sound into such a wonderfully lush and ethereal tone that it has become a milestone in music history. In the 80s though, the analog pedals that produced that iconic sound, provided the musician a constant battle with tone loss and loads of unwanted noise.
When the Foxgear engineers began the development of the new Foxgear Ballade Chorus, they wanted to revive the typical sounds of the great units, like the Boss CE-1 and CE-2, but with specif-ic requirements; keep the circuit totally analog, design the unit to be super quiet with no signal loss at any frequency and with a better response on the low frequency range (making it great also for bass). They accomplished all of their goals. So much so that now the Foxgear Ballade finds home in pedal boards of such esteemed musicians as renowned bassist, Tim Lefebvre (D. Bowie, Toto, Tedeschi-Trucks Band and many others).
As with all Foxgear pedals, the Ballade has Standard Audio-Grade components in the signal path, (no SMD) and comes equipped with our own, anti-pop relay assisted true-bypass circuitry.
Specs:
- Same sound of old fascinating 80’s chorus
- Analog Design
- Total absence of any background noise or signal losses
- Foxgear quality components and 5 year warranty
- Foxgear smart dimension with top jack configuration
Smart dimensions:
The pedals from the Foxgear Professional Compact series measure only 2,3” x 4,7” x 1,1”, and thanks to their top mounted jacks, they can easily fit in any pedalboard. Compared to other manu-facturer’s lesser-quality, side-jack mounted micro-pedals, you can fit 4 Foxgear pedals in the same space normally needed for 3 of the other manufacturer’s micro-pedals.
Quality:
Foxgear pedals are constructed with non-SMD components in the audio path, with analog design, and high-quality components like Wima capacitors, real Alpha 16mm pots, non-plastic trimmers, and a true bypass circuit that includes Panasonic golden pin relays. That’s why all Foxgear pedals are covered with a full 5 Year warranty!!
Pricing information: $99

A digital reverb packed with five presets that move from classic to modern shimmer.
Forlì, Italy (June 21, 2019) -- The latest entry to the Foxgear lineup is the Rainbow. The Rainbow Reverb is the ultimate digital reverb effect. The Rainbow is based on the well known and reliable DSP FV-1 used in most of the boutique pedals in the market, and offers 5 reverb presets that include 2 mind-blowing shimmering algorithms in addition to the other 2 classic reverb effects and an innovative and inspiring “RotaryVerb” (imagine to putting an old rotary speaker right in the middle of the Pantheon temple in Rome…) These features are all at a fraction of what other boutique pedals cost.
The Foxgear Rainbow, like all other Foxgear pedals, keeps the signal path 100% analog, with audio capacitors (no SMD) in the signal path and true bypass relay, which avoids any undesired effect to your tone while running in front of your amp or in the FX loop. At the core of the Rainbow is the upper central selector that works in synergy with the “Multi” control. This control has specific yet differing roles depending on the algorithm selected, and Tone and Deep controls work to help you to reach unexpected nuances in any algorithm.
Easy to use and designed for superlative sound, the Foxgear Rainbow is a great addition to any rig, novice to pro. The FoxGear Rainbow Reverb's immense tonal capabilities, along with its small size and affordability make it the smart choice for reverb.

- Shimmer: The Shimmer effect is a well-known kind of reverb tail that mimics the sound of strings or organ that rise up behind your notes and follows the harmony of the chords you are playing for an outstanding result.
- Celestial: more shimmer! High pitched and different frequency harmonics mimic a more effective organ/string carpet, organic, dynamic and touch responsive, so creative! (Deep Control changes the frequency used for the shimmer effect)
- Rotary Verb: imagine placing an old rotary speaker in the middle of the empty Panthenon in Rome. With the Multi control you can change the lFO rate to increase or decrease the modulation.
- Church: one of the coolest reverb effects, uses the Deep control to move from your local church to a larger Gothic Chathedral.
- Spring: emulate an analog spring reverb allowing you chose the length with Deep control, and Lo- cut filtering with the Multi control.
Foxgear products are distributed in USA & CANADA by Schecter Guitar Research CA. The Foxgear RAINBOW will be on almost all US shops from July 1st.
PRICE: MAP price is $129 USD
