NOW PLAY THIS POWERED BY EFFECTS DATABASE LME PEDALS RECLAIMS THE THRONE WITH THE DEAD KING BUFFER If you’re a pedal geek like the rest of us, you have plenty of pedals on your board, and with pedals comes cabling. If you exceed 17.6 feet of cabling, your signal is suffering from the malady known as “tone suck.” The Dead King Buffer helps safeguard against this by restoring your signal to its former glory, and doing so without coloring your tone. KEELEY ELECTRONICS SERVES UP THE FILAMENTS No matter what kind of metal you’re into, be it death, black, swedish or anything else, the Filaments will suit your needs. The Filaments has seven different layers of equalization, along with four different gain modes to traverse the expansive tonal territory that is metal. From leaned - out screeches to bottom-heavy djent, the Filaments truly does it all. PARADOX EFFECTS CHANGES THE GAME WITH THE IONIZER CLIPPING FUZZ SEQUENCER The Ionizer takes clipping diode selection to the next level by putting several types into the fray of a step sequencer. This sequencing algorithm rhythmically cycles through different types of clipping diodes at a user-set interval, either by the large Speed knob or onboard tap-tempo. The fuzz itself contains a full compliment of dirt controls including a Bright-Deep switch. 22 NOW PLAY THIS // Buzzworthy Gear
