gig-fx VOD Variable Overdrive Pedal

When i got the first visual of this pedal I thought it would something completely different. It's a three mode overdrive distortion pedal that uses a massive swivel pedal with three set points to select the drive mode. I was hoping it would be a pedal that rocks like a wah, and the change in position changes the amount of gain being used. I've played with effects like that on mutli effects units that have an "expression" pedal and always thought it woukld be a cool thing to see in a stand alone OD effect.

Oh well.

Features:

� All analog signal circuitry with digital control, crystal clear sound, no coloration..
� Easy to use. Just press the pedal and will click into the required position.
� Transparent bypass achieved by a FET switch. Open frequency response same as a true mechanical bypass, but more reliable. No signal drop or harmonics suck-out. Noiseless, pop-free switching.
� Reliable, wear-free, noise-free optical operation. Bypassed when pedal is all the way back.
� 9V operating voltage, 20mA current consumption (we recommend using an AC adapter).
� Will accept standard 2.1mm AC adapter supply plug, center negative.
� Green / Yellow / Red LED�s indicate level of distortion selected.
� Compact Size: 9� x 4� (228mm x 103mm).
� Lightweight, high-quality aircraft aluminum casting and rugged construction, only 2.3lbs (1.1kg). Patented ergonomics.

At least over at the site they have some sound samples to give you an idea. have a look and see what you think.

Seymore Duncan SFX Tube Mayhem

A new pedal from SD and this one is called the Twin Tube Mayhem. You guess it. It's got two tubes in it and it's a little crazy.

It has the typical features, 3-band EQ with high and low mid switch, gain and level controls, 4 or 8 dB switchable boost, and comes packed with two Phillips Sylvania 6205 tubes.

Behringer Announce ROTARY MACHINE RM600

They are at it again. And this looks something special.

The RM600 ROTARY MACHINE spins the entire history of 3-dimensional rotary speaker effects in one compact pedal. Its stereo rotary speaker simulations let your guitar tone swirl around the stage with a single stomp.

The RM600 ROTARY MACHINE box features dedicated rotary controls Slow and Fast rotation speed, Drive (to squeeze the last drop of dynamics out of your tone) and Drum/horn blend. 2 slide switches let you choose 3 ramp speeds and 3 classic rotary speaker sounds. And the featured Real Sound Modeling (RSM) DSP turns out stunning realism that will have your audience looking for those old funky spinning speakers that used to be the only way to create this sound. The tough metal footswitch maintains straight-wire signal integrity in bypass mode. A clear blue LED indicates power status and battery condition. The RM600 pedal runs on both our BEHRINGER PSU-SB DC power supply and a typical 9 V battery for maximum flexibility.

Yes, that bit in bold above is true. A metal case on this pedal. Thank you Behringer. Sure, it add roughly doubles the price (AU$90 when released) but I willbe the first to buy. I am yet to find another rotary effect that comes close to that price, and I have been happily surprised by the tonal quality of these pedals.

Looks like a winner. How could you not be excited by this?

Behringer Pedal Board

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone else post this yet. Behringer have release a fully powered pedal board that comes in under $200.

The PEDAL BOARD PB1000 pedal board offers you the utmost in flexibility, allowing you to add and group effects pedals to your heart’s content.

Get your effects pedals wired up and ready to play at all times in this protective, roadworthy unit. The PB1000 is an ultra-compact and rugged pedal board for musicians who want to pre-arrange and carry up to 12 effects pedals in a heavy-duty, yet lightweight, case designed to withstand heavy impact. It features a generous 1.7 A power adapter and includes all cabling to power multiple stomp boxes simultaneously.

When several effects pedals come together, this tool definitely comes in handy!

The foam mounts look like they come out so you can also add in your favourite wah or other pedals too (by the looks anyway). Considering almost all my pedals fall into that form factor anyway (Dunlop Wah and MXR Phase 90 being the exceptions) this thing looks great.
