NEW PRODUCTS GUITAR SPOTLIGHT 1. VOX 1 2. B-BAND GUITAR TECH


STOMP BOXES FROM £39.99 They say: At this price there’s no excuse not to try them out. For: Guitarists Range: New Guitar Tech products Spec:Five pedals in the range: Classic distortion, analog delay, chorus, volume and Dot Matrix tuner. The Classic Distortion emulates the


huge, driven tone of an overdriven amp being pushed by a pedal. Featuring simple controls for level, gain and Hi/Lo tone controls, along with a bypass function to eliminate signal loss and unwanted noise, the Classic Distortion makes it easy to create any distorted tone of choice, from classic rock to modern metal. The Guitar Tech Analog Delay (£44.99) is unlike most modern digital signal processor delay units in that it has a warm, natural sound reminiscent of classic analog delay stompboxes and vintage tape delay units. The Analog Delay's three-way time, mix and repeat controls provide a wide range of delay sounds, from 50ms slapback all the way up to 440ms of delay. With the Vintage Chorus' simple


speed, mix and depth controls, a lush tone for any occasion is only seconds away, from shimmering rhythm patterns to water-drenched, vibrato rounded lead lines (£49.99). The true bypass Dot Matrix tuner lets


the player tune up to within two cents, using a large LED display and a simple up and down arrow system (to signify if the sound sharp or flat). When engaged, it mutes the guitar's output. Finally, the active volume pedal (£49.99) features customisable minimum and maximum volume controls, can be used as a killswitch, or as a boost for soloing, or to increase gain while on drive settings.
