➍ HONEY SHIN-EI IS REBORN AND SPAWNS THE VIBE BRO ➍ The Vibe Bro is a “new-old” circuit from the revamped Honey Shin-Ei company. It produces an exact replica (name excluded) or the original Shin-Ei UniVibe, a pedal staple across 50 years. Guitar players the world over have been lusting after originals for years, and now they can have the next best thing: a part-for-part recreation, including the original foot controller. ➎ MALEKKO PUTS IT IN “SLOW GEAR” WITH THE SNEAK ATTACK ➎ Malekko’s Sneak Attack fully expands the concept of swell-type effects and leaves everything else in the dust. Players can custom shape the waveform to their swell needs, using one of four sensitivity settings, or they can switch to LFO mode and take advantage of the Sneak Attack’s incredible tremolo simulation. The Lil Buddy footswitch dramatically increases the capabilities in all modes. ➏ GURUS AMPS RELEASES THE IDEAL PEDAL PLATFORM: THE 5015 ➏ The 5015 by Gurus Amps is designed to be the foremost pedal platform amp on the market. This 50-watt lunchbox-sized tube amp contains three knobs: Volume, Master, and Sexytone, which is a combination of three filters that keep the tone crisp at all settings with gentle pushes at whichever position it is set. The amp is a killer pedal platform because it remains clean at all settings with high headroom. ToneReport.com 9
