➍ DARKGLASS GOES OLD SCHOOL WITH THE VINTAGE ULTRA By giving low-end players a bevy of options, Darkglass has crafted the ultimate bass tone shaper with the Vintage Ultra. The Vintage Ultra provides two different shapable mid-bands with selectable center frequency, as well as controls to saturate the treble and bass pre-drive, as well as a footswitch for the overdrive, mix controls, master volume and more. ➍ ➎ PIGEON FX GETS FRIENDLY WITH THE FY-2 COMPANION ➎ Known for its exacting replications of vintage pedals, Pigeon FX has set its sights on the Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz. Featuring a custom cloned enclosure with original knobs, faceplate and circuit board reproduction, as well as original transistors, the Pigeon FX Companion is the closest you will ever come to owning a real Companion bit without all the reliability issues. ➏ BOGNER DELIVERS THE LA GRANGE OVERDRIVE ➏ The latest in the series of pedals designed by Reinhold Bogner, the La Grange seeks to be the ultimate “Plexi” in a box. The La Grange incorporates several new controls, such as the structure switch and switchable variac, which toggles between “normal” and “brown” settings. An independently footswitchable boost section kicks the preamp in the pants when you need it. ToneReport.com 9
