MAGNETIC EFFECTS RELAUNCHES THE SATELLITE AS THE SÄNDARE The Sändare, formerly known as the Satellite, gives you a highly-versatile low-gain box with a hefty EQ section and many flavors of dirt on tap. The Gain control ranges from whistle-clean boost to a delightful crunch with every shade of grit in between, with active treble and bass controls to boot. With Gain turned to zero, the Sändare functions as a slick EQ too, where you can use both bands to sculpt your tone. CAST ENGINEERING FLASHES THE MIKE ZITO PEACE DRIVE The Peace Drive was developed for Mike Zito with the goal of capturing “the sound” within his head—the goal of all players. In Mr. Zito’s case, “the sound” consists of two carefully refined, individual gain circuits with an order switcher for ultimate flexibility. The right side consists of a highly-versatile drive, whereas the left side contains a harmonically-rich boost circuit. SOLIDGOLDFX MOVES FORWARD WITH THE STUTTER LITE MKII The Stutter Lite MKII is the latest revision to SolidGold’s amp-like tremolo series. The newest version adds a new mode switch that changes the trem character from lush vintage-style to a more modern choppy setting. The signal path of the Stutter Lite MKII remains pure as it’s composed of JFETs for a tube-like character without sacrificing any precious tone. ToneReport.com 21
