PG contributor Tom Butwin demos the AirSonic W. Reverend Founder Joe Naylor has been on a quest to meld a solidbody’s sustain and attack with the rich, big tone of a semi-hollow. Naylor’s sonic dream is now a reality.
Reverend Airsonic W Solidbody Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard - Periwinkle Burst
Radically thinner wings and thru-body f-holes allow the body to resonate intensely, while a thick center ridge establishes solid sustain. Harmonics shimmer, single notes sing, and power chords ring like a bell at stage volume. Add in overdrive, and the controllable feedback is a thing of beauty. With the forearm and stomach contours, this guitar is light and comfortable. The Airsonic W has Railhammer Humcutters that capture the clarity and dynamics of a P-90 without the hum. A Wilkinson WVS50 IIK Tremolo in the bridge rounds out the package. If you’re ready to make a unique visual and sonic statement, the Airsonic W is for you!
YouTube riff lord Zach Wish tests out all the angry moods of what could be the company's most-valuable distortion pedal in their entire lineup.
Empress Heavy Menace Distortion Pedal
The Heavy Menace is the most versatile distortion pedal Empress Effects has ever created. It’s an evolution of the original Heavy with new features and a compact enclosure. It features three distortion modes, advanced EQ with a sweepable midrange frequency and Weight control, and an adaptive gate with a key input for external triggering. The pedal features an all-analog signal path and can operate in true bypass or buffered bypass modes.
Guitarist Tom Butwin channels his inner Hendrix and demos the all-new StewMac Sun Fuzz.
StewMac Sun Fuzz
Inspired by Analog Man's Sun Face, our version finally gives you the control and tone shaping you've always wanted from the original Fuzz Face circuit. If you love Hendrix, Clapton, or Gilmour … this fuzz must be on your board.
The Fuzz Face is one of the foundational tones for electric guitar. However, the originals can be hard to control and don't play nice with many pickups and amps. Even temperature can completely change the tone! Following Analog Man's lead, we've swapped the germanium transistor for a silicon BC-108, giving the pedal a brighter tone, more gain, and enhanced touch sensitivity.
