➍ CAST ENGINEERING
SUMMONS FORTH THE
CASPER DELAY
➍
The Casper Delay from CAST Engineering
seeks to perpetuate the long-standing belief
that analog delay trumps digital. Though the
Casper makes no bones about containing
digital circuitry, the pedal is carefully voiced
to give players analog tones without all the
noise and associated artifacts. An internal
trimpot sets the base level of feedback for
wild oscillation freakouts.
➎ ASPEN PITTMAN AND
MARK SAMPSON TEAM UP TO
RELEASE THE DUO TONIC
The Duo Tonic is a joint collaboration
between Aspen Pittman and Mark
Sampson (of Groove Tubes and
Matchless, respectively), designed to give
real tube overdrive and heady boost in
one box. According to the duo, the only
way to get real tube overdrive is with real
tubes, and the Duo Tonic makes good on
this with two mil-spec specimens.
