NOW PLAY THIS POWERED BY EFFECTS DATABASE ➊ ELEKTRON BREAKS INTO THE PEDAL GAME WITH THE ANALOG DRIVE The Pomeroy is a tricked-out overdrive and distortion machine with precision control over every attribute one could ever want. Six different diode combinations await players, as well as controls for a wet-dry blend and a three-band EQ. A separate boost channel provides up to 24 decibels of boost with a seven-segment LED display that tells players exactly how many decibels are being used. ➊ ➋ BOSS GOES UNPLUGGED WITH THE AD-2 ACOUSTIC PREAMP Boss has revolutionized the acoustic preamp game by getting back to basics: your unplugged tone. The Ambience control mixes in a touch of pro-level reverb that sounds like your guitar tone is coming from everywhere, not just your amp. The Resonance control replicates the subtle nuances of unplugged acoustics by warming up the tone considerably. The Notch control helps reel in feedback. ➋ ➌ CRAZY TUBE CIRCUITS BLASTS OFF TO PLANET B The Planet B by Crazy Tube Circuits bridges the old with the new by providing a bass overdrive modeled after vintage amplifiers used by modern sludge and doom bands. To keep your low-end intact, the Planet B offers a blend control—just what the doctor ordered for low-end aficionados. The toggle in the center activates supersonic mode, which dramatically boosts the mids to ensure that you will be heard. ➌ 8 NOW PLAY THIS // Buzzworthy Gear
