GUITAR TECH ACTIVE VOLUME PEDAL

A volume pedal with a difference, the Guitar Tech Active Volume Pedal provides a smooth, ergonomic foot operated volume control with the added advantage of Minimum and Maximum volume controls for the to customise their own preferences. Using special noise-free MAG POT technology (which ensures there is no need for pedal maintenance due to pot wear) the Active Volume Pedal will also work as a volume boost for solos, or will increase the gain when on drive settings. Another nice touch is the dedicated output for a guitar tuner such as the GTE004 Dot Matrix, and of course the sturdy metal casing means it is built for punishment!

GUITAR TECH CLASSIC DISTORTION

Designed for those who would like to emulate that big, classic distortion tone redolent of an overdriven valve amp being pushed by another pedal, the Guitar Tech Classic Distortion will rock your world. A simple layout of Level (actual output), Gain (distortion amount) and Hi and Lo tone controls make it easy to dial in that 'brown' sound, from classic rock to modern metal. True Bypass circuitry eliminates signal loss and extraneous noise when in bypass mode. Built with a sturdy metal chassis, the Classic Distortion is tough, durable and can run off a single 9v battery or power supply unit.

GUITAR TECH ANALOG

Unlike many modern digital signal processor delay units, the Guitar Tech Analog Delay has a warm, natural sound which echoes (pardon the pun!) the tape delay units of yesteryear, and those classic early 80s analog delay stompboxes.

A sturdy metal case means that it can withstand the rigours of live use with no problems, and the Analog Delay will run from a single 9v battery or power supply unit.

The three-way control system of Time, Mix and Repeat allows you to dial in everything from a neat 50s slapback delay to way-out-there spaced-out sounds due to its 440ms of delay.

GUITAR TECH VINTAGE

Whether you need to add a shimmering edge to your rhythm, or a water-drenched, vibrato roundness to your lead lines, the Vintage Chorus will make your guitar tone stand out. Built with the same tough metal casing as the rest of the Guitar Tech Pedal range, the Vintage Chorus is the ideal addition to any guitar player’s tonal arsenal. Again, simplicity is the key with its three, easy to use controls of Speed, Mix and Depth, making creating your signature tone a breeze. True Bypass circuitry eliminates signal loss and extraneous noise when in bypass mode. The Vintage Chorus will work from a single 9v battery or power supply unit.

GUITAR TECH DOT MATRIX TUNER

The Guitar Tech Dot Matrix Tuner is a true bypass chromatic pedal tuner, which is ideal for live use due to its easy-to-read large format LED display. As you pluck a string, the note name appears on the display, and shows if sharp, flat or in tune, accurate to within 2 cents, via a simple up/down arrow system. A further # display allows you to tune the notes chromatically. When engaged, the footswitch mutes the output, so your audience don't have to listen to you tuning up, and because it's true bypass there is no signal degradation. Built with a sturdy metal chassis, the Dot Matrix Tuner is durable and can run off a single 9v battery or power supply unit.

GT95 GUITAR TECH POCKET AMP

Clean and distortion settings, adjustable volume and tone controls, 1/4"/6.35mm jack plug input socket, compact, lightweight design, includes stereo earphones and belt clip. Powered by 9v Battery (not included).

FS1 FOOTSWITCH

The polarity switching system in the sturdily constructed FS1 non-latching footswitch makes it suitable for use with contemporary keyboards, drum machines and home recording equipment. 3 Guitar Tech Master 2013.qxp_GTR TECH 2005 20/08/2014 10:17 Page 4
