The Gear That Makes Vernon Reid Sound Like Vernon Reid

Reid's signature solidbody from the "Totem Series," which comes in three artwork variants (The Mystery Tramp, The Shaman, The Talisman) that share identical specs. All feature korina bodies, three-piece korina necks, ebony fretboards, custom-covered Railhammer pickups, and a Floyd Rose. Specifics: 24¾" scale, soft-V neck, 12" radius, 22 frets, Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro, Railhammer Vernon Reid signature pickup set, with Volume, Tone, Bass Contour, and a 5-way selector. The body graphics are AI-generated images inspired by Carl Jung's Collective Unconscious theory, Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey, and artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Romare Bearden, with West African Adinkra symbols on the pickups/headstock and American hobo symbols on the fretboard.

A compact pitch shifter that delivers Whammy-style rises and falls without a treadle: you hold the footswitch and customizable rise/fall ballistics do the rest. Seven pitch intervals (2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, octave, double octave, octave+dry) across a range up to two octaves up or down, with a trajectory LED ladder showing shift direction. It has classic and chords modes, momentary or latching footswitch operation, and true bypass in latching mode.

The DigiTech FreqOut Natural Feedback Creator allows you to get sweet, natural feedback at any volume, with or without distortion. The FreqOut is perfect for situations where volume must be controlled like in the studio, with in ear monitors, or low-volume performance and practice. However, the FreqOut can also be used at gig volume to focus out-of-control feedback on a preferred harmonic at any stage position. The FreqOut uses a 9VDC power supply to easily integrate into your existing pedalboard.

Particle™ is a granular delay / pitch shifting pedal. It chops your signal into small grains and then rearranges, shifts, and mangles it, using the techniques of granular synthesis in real time. Results range from radical pitch and delay modulation to shimmering repeats to time stretching, stutter, and glitch sounds.

The Tensor™ gives you live reverse and tape stop effects, pitch shifting, time stretching and hold functions that you can combine in creative ways. Slow down, speed up and rewind in real time. Play in reverse with pitch shifting. Stretch or compress time with no pitch change. Loop, overdub, and randomly slice phrases up to 9.4 seconds (4.7 seconds in stereo). The Tensor is always listening, so you can instantly rewind what you just played and seamlessly shift between forward and reverse. It constantly analyzes what you play at three levels - phrase, note, and waveform - to choose the best splice points, so you can focus on your playing.

The new passive DOD Mini Expression Pedal is just the right size for your pedal board, and your wallet. Rugged all-steel construction and gear drive means that there are no strings to break. Despite its compact form factor it is designed to have the same feel and throw as pedals that are twice its size (and price).
