The newest member of the SP-sampler family breaks ground with innovative features such as Loop Capture, and Super Filter. The SP-555 is fast and powerful, but one thing has been preserved from previous SP models: fun! It’s the ultimate toolkit for DJs, producers, sample-based musicians, or performers who want to take their act to the next level. You can capture sounds instantly onstage using the SP-555’s Line or Mic Inputs, or through USB audio streaming perfect for DJs or live p (more…)

The KAOSS PAD series lets you control the effect entirely from the touch-pad in realtime. Different effect parameters are assigned to the X-axis and Y-axis of the touch-pad and can be controlled simultaneously, meaning that you can vary the delay time and the feedback at the same time, or simultaneously change the cutoff and resonance of a filter. This means that complex effect operations that otherwise would require two hands on a conventional knob-based controller can be performe (more…)

Godlyke is pleased to announce the release of five new Guyatone Micro Effects. Once again, Guyatone brings more punch to the party with an overload of features and tones that make the Micro Series a truly amazing value.

The new Guyatone Micros aren’t just re-hashed additions to an existing line – They represent a new direction for Guyatone effects. All five new models were designed by Toshi Torii, the mastermind who engineered the HAO line of boutique pedals. His 20+ years of knowledge and expertise have been incorporated into these new Guyatone Micros, giving each model a wide variety of boutique-quality tones – These new Micros are not just “one sound” wonders! In addition, three of the models feature true bypass switching, bringing the Guyatone superlative sonic performance to a new level – Good things do come in small packages!

Guyatone CB-3 Cool Booster w/True Bypass

The CB-3 is a cool little booster that is designed for a variety of applications. It can be used to boost solo passages, or to distort an input signal while retaining unity gain with the bypassed signal.  True Bypass Switching.

Guyatone HD-3 Hot Drive Distortion w/True Bypass

The HD-3 Hot Drive provides the maximum distortion available in a stompbox while still retaining note clarity, allowing you to easily create rich, singing harmonic feedback.  Make your combo amp sound like a stack!  True Bypass Switching.

Guyatone MO-3 Micro Octave

The MO-3 Micro Octave is a 100% analog octave divider that offers one and two octaves down as well as a Dry blend control. Three filter types and a pre-gain control allow for a wide variety of effects, from subtle doubling to full-on chaos!

Guyatone OD-2+ Overdrive w/True Bypass

An upgrade to the award-winning OD-2 Overdrive, the OD-2+ takes the rich tube-like sound of that classic pedal and adds additional tone shaping options by way of a Hi Cut/Hi Boost Tone control and 3-way OD Mode switch.  True Bypass Switching.

Guyatone SS-3 Sonic Shaper Harmonic Booster

A multi-function booster effect, the Sonic Shaper emphasizes specific harmonics of the input signal to achieve a variety of effects.  The SS-3 allows the user to stand out in an ensemble or mix without having to change their volume.  At different control positions the SS-3 can also be used as an acoustic simulator or to boost the overall output volume without any distortion.

Designed specifically for bass guitar, Octavius Squeezer has true analog reconfigurable signal path technology, true bypass switching and a comprehensive array of analog synth, octaver, fuzz, envelope filter and other effects driven by a convenient digital preset system. With all this plus tuner and metronome in a size that fits in your gig bag, this is one pedal you simply can’t afford to be without!

Octavius Squeezer includes a dedicated filter circuit bred in our Agent 00Funk and Agent 00Funk Mark II envelope filters. It also includes the fuzz circuit from our Brown Dog gated bass fuzz. A multi-range digital pitch tracking stage tracks the notes you play right down to the bottom of your instrument’s range and drives an analog synthesizer which can produce various waveforms at either the same pitch as your input, one octave down, one octave up or two octaves up. All of this can be patched, mixed and configured in a variety of ways to give an enormous array of available effects.

เรื่องของเรื่องคือ การทำงานในอัลบั้มชุด Stadium Arcadium John ใช้วิธีอัดสดลงบนเทป ใช้ effect ธรรมดาๆทั่วไป จากนั้นค่อยมา process ผ่าน Modular Synth ทำให้เกิดเสียงประหลาดมากมายหลาย Layer ทีนี้เมื่อถึงเวลาเล่นสด เลยต้องใช้ effect มากมายอย่างที่เห็น
