T o a w e re hea in back to that lorious eca e kno n as the 1970s to take a look at five great effect pedals that will transport your rig back to a golden age of uitar. From the overdriven sounds of Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi to the out-of-this-world prog tones of David Gilmour and Alex Lifeson, the ‘70s were pivotal in creating some of the guitar sounds that are still bein ri p e off b to a s class of rock uitarists Whether you’re putting together the ultimate Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin tribute band or just trying to add a bit of vintage flare to your modern-rock masterpiece, the pedals on this list are sure to help you recapture some of that groovy ‘70s magic.

In some ways, the Bit Commander is almost cheating in a list limited to five effects, as it doubles as a useful octave fuzz.

Seismic Activity: EarthQuaker Devices Speaker Cranker Poste 0 / 2 / 2012 at 10 01am b Paul iario EarthQuaker Devices is a small, boutique pedal manufacturer from Akron, Ohio, known for a wide variety of colorful stompboxes that just sound great. If you’re looking for fuzz, delay, pitch modulation and more, EarthQuaker Devices has it all. The Speaker Cranker is an overdrive pedal with one knob for M ore an no other controls to t eak or obsess over. It’s not what you would call a boost pedal; instead, it offers some heft and crunch to an already overdriven amplifier without coloring your tone dramatically. T he M ore knob ials in the amount of irt ith overdrive creeping in around 9 o’clock on an amp set to clean T he p eaker Cranker is true b ass an o erates on 9-volt battery or an optional 9-volt regulated power su p l . I find that the Speaker Cranker is an essential stompbox if you use a single-ended amplifier, such as the Marshall JCM 800, or a two-channel amp with a rhythm and lead channel to deliver much-needed gain for harmonics and solos T he e al oes color o ur soun , but in a oo way, slightly darkening the tone to take out any high-end harshness. The gain isn’t overwhelming and offers just the right amount of bite if your amplifier is already over- driven. If you’re running the amp clean, the “More” control will add some roundness, compression and grit as you move the knob toward noon and finally overdrive past that — just enough to sustain notes.

But the Hoof ain’t no one-trick satyr. The Shift knob alters the midrange frequency controlled by the Tone knob, and it’s a powerful weapon that can deliver searing, hollow, warm, fizzy, bom- bastic, and klang-glorious varieties of fuzzy bliss. I was able to dial in everything from Ventures’ “2000 Pound Bee” buzz- ing to Muse-like caterwauls of sustain. WHO’S IT FOR? This is yet another versatile fuzzbox that offers a good collection of sounds for very reasonable bucks. I can’t imagine anyone who is into fuzz not wanting this baby on his or her e alboar .

In the last half decade, the little Akron, Ohio, company—started b former lack Kes roa man er a mie tillmana n its modest line of killer fuzz and distortion boxes has morphed into a hydra-headed beast that seems to turn out new sound-manipulation tools faster than Planters cranks out eanuts These days, EarthQuaker’s irreverence and sonic adven- turism finds the company as willing to toy with analog cir- cuits for purists as DSP pedals for bold experimentalists. The Rainbow Machine reviewed here falls in the latter category, and it’s a great example of how EarthQuaker’s willingness to be bold and deviant and to explore unde- rutilized tone textures results in stompboxes that stoke musical invention just as much as they fine-tune your tone The Rainbow Machine is a pitch-shifting, modulating, harmonizing, time-warping pedal that not only alters pitch, but also gives you the power to transform those pitch modulations using time-based controls. The effect can be as radical as an analog synth in the hands of a science fiction soundscape artist, but it can also be subtle, tasteful, and highly effective in low-key applications where it can add unexpected and delicious textures to chords and simple leads and hooks. Six Ways over the Rainbow The DSP-driven Rainbow Machine is not the kind of pedal you’re likely to dial-in right out of the box. Some controls get more extreme on either side of high noon, others increase in intensity as you s ee clock ise hile others ork in the o p osite irection T o to it off most of these functions are too deep to conveniently define with a single label. And some are just willfully and beautifully obscure. But what the Rainbow Machine lacks in intuitiveness, it pays back with power and flexibility.

  • The Vox Continental
    Review: The Vox Continental ANDY BURTON · FEB 12, 2018 Reimagining a Sixties Icon The original Vox Continental, rst introduced by British manufacturer Jennings Musical Industries in 1962, is a classic “combo organ”. This sleek, transistor-based portable electric organ is deeply rooted in pop-music history, used by many of the biggest rock bands of the ’60’s and beyond. Two of the most prominent artists of the era to use a Continental as a main feature of their sound were the Doors (for example, on their classic 1967 breakthrough hit “Light My Fire”) and the Animals (“House Of The Rising Sun”). John Lennon famously played one live with the Beatles at the biggest-ever rock show to date, at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1965. The Continental was bright orange-red with reverse-color keys, which made it stand out visually, especially on television (which had recently transitioned from black-and-white to color). The sleek design, as much as the sound, made it the most popular combo organ of its time, rivaled only by the Farsa Compact series. The sound, generated by 12 transistor-based oscillators with octave-divider circuits, was thin and bright - piercing even. And decidedly low-delity and egalitarian. The classier, more lush-sounding and expensive Hammond B-3 / Leslie speaker combination eectively required a road crew to move around, ensuring that only acts with a big touring budget could aord to carry one. By contrast, the Continental and its combo- organ rivals were something any keyboard player in any band, famous or not, could use onstage.
