The Year in Gear 2019

The 60+ guitars, amps, pedals, basses, and accessories that stood out from the crowd and earned our coveted Premier Gear Award this year.

Komet

Komet K.O.D.A


Billed as an amp-in-a-box, the K.O.D.A. is designed to fatten, sharpen, and refine your tone. It’s not about making your Fender tweed sound like a Marshall plexi, but built to expand an amp’s tonal range. With its interactive gain stages, lovely active tone circuit, 3-position bright switch, switchable output stage knob, and master volume, the K.O.D.A. would be especially useful perched on a studio desktop, shaping sounds to suit a mix.
