Click here to jump to the entry.X1 All Tube Preamp Pedal with 12AX7 TubesThe design criteria for the X1 was to deliver the sounds of the classic Carvin X-100B amplifier in a compact package with added connectivity.

The X1 incorporates tube technology with simple, yet flexible modern features to interface with many types of gear.STRING9 String Ensemble

The polyphonic STRING9 String Ensemble transforms a guitar into nine different string ensembles and string synthesizers while requiring zero modifications, special pickups, or MIDI implementation. It relies on the same technology powering all EHX 9 Series pedals. In a 9 Series first, the STRING9 includes the signature EHX Freeze effect on 3 of the presets to sample and hold notes and chords with infinite sustain.Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal Optical Spring Reverb Pedal

It has a solid aluminum alloy casing, delivering a smooth and comfortable user experience.PRS Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive Pedal

The PRS Horsemeat transparent overdrive is a from-scratch circuit designed to enhance guitar tone without coloring it. Using germanium diodes, Horsemeat will give throatiness without sounding nasal or too high-pitched and harmonic richness by boosting both low- and high-end frequencies, all while providing more available headroom. Depending on the setting, the PRS Horsemeat can be used as a clean boost, straight overdrive, or even enhance an amplifier’s distortion by slightly pushing the front end of the amp’s preamp section.PRS pedals were created to be high-end pieces of audio gear.Designed by PRS Guitars in Stevensville, MD, USA. Made in the USA.The Good OneInspired by Mr. G. Smith’s particularly amazing vintage 1972 Big Muff® that came into the shop for repair, the Good One is a 100% reverse-engineered replica of that exact unit.The “Triangle Knob” era Big Muffs have been known to have up to 18 different circuits within the same enclosure-style during the inconsistent early years at EH in NYC. Some of these circuits sounded glorious, some, not so great.Having done many vintage restorations over the years, Matt was not sure what to expect when this wounded pedal landed DOA on his bench for a restoration.Once the much needed repairs were complete, and after the first strum of a chord blasting through the pedal, all in the shop immediately knew that this particular triangle muffer was indeed, one of the GOOD ONE’s.Like the original unit, The Good One uses ceramic disc capacitors, odd component values, and the much loved mojo producing vintage style carbon composition resistors. Add to that our premium-line heavy duty folded steel enclosure, top tier building quality, and you’ve got a pedal destined to be a future classic.Pedalmania 2022 Week #4
