Carl Martin Octaswitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My pedals sound amazing. No dancing. Incredible. Only thing that sucks but that is just inherent in the pedal is how many cables are needed. Like 16 cables. It's crazy. But the pedal is true bypass which makes my rig sound so friggin good. I'm in the process of making my own cables because it's cheaper and I can get specific lengths. The Octa-switch is highly recommended.

When Carl Martin decided to create a baby-brother for his world famous Combinator, the details of simplifying an already simple effect controller made his head hurt.So Carl enlisted the help of Thomas Guldmann, and the Octa-switch was born.The concept is simple'.take your eight favourite effects pedals, plug them into the eight individual loops (all true-bypass gold relays) on the Octa-switch, and then designate what effects you want connected to each of 8 banks via the worlds simplest and smallest DIP switches located over top of each of the eight bank switches.Thomas chose DIP switches because they are just eight individual on-off switches in a tiny tiny package.So if your effects are plugged into Loops 1-8, you simply turn the DIP switch ‘on' for each of the effects you want in Bank 1, and then Bank 2 etc up to Bank 8.You can use one or all of the effects in each bank, and once you have designated a bank, do us both a favour and cover the DIP with a bit of tape to ensure nothing happens to the DIP switch when you are not looking''like an errant hand, or a flood of beer.The Octa-switch is mono-in and mono/stereo out, with a choice of a buffered signal or not.The unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or a regulated power supply like the Carl Martin Big John Power Supply, and is housed in an all metal case with heart-stopping (ok, well almost) graphics.So, the same basic options found in the digitally controlled units the famous guys are using, at a fraction of the cost!Carl's head stopped hurting'..

Epiphone AJ-220SCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Thin, nasal tone and cheap fretboard feel to it. The string action was not set up so the strings do not correctly ring clear. I wrote the seller regarding this before delivery and received no response. The 1/4" plug hardware is already needing repair. I knew I was purchasing a low end guitar but for $300 dollars the product should actually function properly. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. I've been an active musician for performing live for almost 9 years and trust me when I say that you can find a better product elsewhere for the same amount of money.

The acoustic-electric guitar's rosewood bridge and fretboard produces lasting sustain, in a deep appearance. The SlimTaper D-shape neck and 12" radius add speed and comfort to your shredding, while lessening player exhaustion.

Keeley Fuzz Head Guitar Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i bought the fuzz head purely for enlightenment... was going to study it and work at making something similar. who needs to? this thing is bad ass! robert is the master. this thing hits the fuzz world with vengence and much much more. roll off the volume and it cleans up beautifully. super simple layout makes it real easy to work with. just as the manual says... set it higher than you would really expect to use it and let your guitar volume do the rest. my diode switch is very subtle... almost to the point that i'm not sure it's doing anything, but the way it sounds is superb. i've been meaning to place a call to keeley to ask about that, just haven't done it yet... not too pressing as it rocks!

The Fuzz Head is designed to work like Fuzz Face pedals many players use as a lead boost, but a Fuzz Face can be muddy, lack note definition, be too bassy and lack sustain. The Keeley design is transparent, has better frequency response, and gives you that cutting edge for lead breaks. The GE mode is raw and open. Silicon/Germanium toggle switch. This is like a gain/style switch. The "SI" mode inserts two diodes (one silicon and one germanium in parallel) in the distortion circuit so you can have a modern twist on a vintage sound. It increases the gain and compression a bit for more sustain and more of an overdrive mode. Very transparent and dynamic. Takes the best qualities of the germainum designs and overdrives. Roll back the volume on your guitar for clean sounds, a variety of tones, textures, and natural fuzz/overdrive! Internal drive-range control. Allows you to set up the range of the external drive control. Perfect for fine tuning light overdrive tones to raging fuzz. Simple to setup and use as a lead boost. Combine with Keeley TS9, BD-2, DS-1 mods for a great dual pedal setups. If you have a Class A amplifier, the Fuzz Head is the perfect addition to your setup!
