Also I just got done working with the North Shore guys on a new Guitar Tuner
It is soo much fun to use, and how many times have you showed up to a gig or a
studio session without a tuner. ...you know you have.
I remember a session with Zakk and Ozzie where someone brought in a tuner with a dead battery, they didn't notice till the session was over....ooops
Plus it has a beat metronome and chord chart.

I just finished designing and shipping four new pedals.
I'm really excited about these.
I have build so many custom pedals for some our favorite guitar players, so I cherry picked four of my favorites.
The "Photon Phaser" is fun, beside the bypass button you have two Speed Switch controls. These controls allow you to ramp or speed up like a rotating speaker, or Ramp down. The brake will take it from fast to slow in one revolution, and if you release the brake it will ramp up to speed.
So the brake can be used to go from slow to fast with the one button.
The "Orange Masher" (Compressor), really is special, you are going to really like the threshold control. Do you remember one of DBX's most popular compressors with the single slide control on the front?
All you had to do was move the slider for what ever playing style you had, and the compressor would fit the style or sound. The Orange Masher's Threshold control, can do that for you. The "Atom Smasher", (Octave divider), can sound like a Vintage Tycobrah. or a Colorsound divider, which are very rare.
Jeff beck used one on the early albums.
The circuit is vintage with my twist on it, Phil Brown had one of these and flipped, he had been looking for that sound since his early days of playing.
That is what gave me the idea to listen to the Jeff Beck cd's and mimic it on this pedal.
he " Vibrator" (Tremelo-Vibrato) is pretty wild, you can set the range from one beat every 4 sec to a machine gun fire.
The switches allow multi pulse and pattern changes.
It uses Opto technology like a tube amp, so you can get the same smooth response.I started experimenting with tube emulation through discrete components. I have alway found DSP emulation to sucK and sound synthetic.
So I designed a tube emulator and then used it in place of a tube in several of my designs and proto'ed one up to hear it.
Well it blew my mind, the first amp I tried it on was the M-1000, then I built an XLS-1000, and what was amazing they had the same characteristics as the original amps. I tried them into the front of my Pro Junior then into my SP-1000..... I was Blown away
So I decided to make Pedal out of the idea

So that's it for now, keep checking back......the journey never seems to end.
Thank you as always for all the support....
