Made with carbon comp resistors for a pure vintage sound ! There are many variables that determine the quality, sound and cleanability of the Fuzz Face. We feel that transistor choice is crucial, therefore we searched and found the best and extremely rare germanium transistors ever made : the CV7003, military-spec OC44 germanium transistors. Each individual transistor is measured for gain and leakage and then hand picked and matched through sound audition. Warm sound, great cleanability ! Just mess around with the guitar volume to find the sweet spots... "The Fuzz Phrase has been with me on the road since I got it and I use it every night. It always sounds fantastic and is the epitome of what a fuzz should sound like. So many fuzz pedals don't seem to give you a tangible boost. You hit them and the sound just seems impossible to tame. The Fuzz Phrase is a no brainer. You hit it and it boosts your signal with a glorious fuzz onslaught !" Greg Koch "I love the unique warmth and complex harmonics of the Fuzz Phrase. It makes even a small combo amp sound huge ! I compared it to my other fuzzes and it is by far the best sounding germanium fuzz in my house so it is going on my pedal board immediately."

ABOUT TAUS Taus means 'peacock' in Persian and is derived from sitar and sarangi. It's body is shaped like a peacock and it is played with a bow. It has a sound hole at the 'tail' portion of the instrument and stands on bird-feet carved in wood. Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Guru of Sikhs, kept the family trend by creating the instrument which he named the 'taus', which, in Persian, means peacock. Some scholars believe that the sitar was invented in Guru Gobind Singh's time period as well, and that the creation of new instruments was in fashion at that time. The taus is painted in all of the bright shades of the beautiful bird, the peacock, in its sound structure. Its long tail serves the purpose of the finger board of the instrument, upon which nineteen metal frets, elliptical in shape, are tied with cotton or silken cord. The lower portion, the head, carved to look just like the peacock, is covered with hide. The taus is played seated, with a bow. The parts of the bow include a wooden round stick, bow hair of horse tail, a wooden bridge, and a screw. The taus has sixteen sympathetic metal strings, along with its four playing strings. **[PACKAGE CONTAINS; One Designer Taus Music Instrument, Length: 48 To 50 Inches approx., Width: 9 To 10 Inches approx., Height: 8 To 9 Inches approx., Weight: 3.5 To4.5 KG approx., Sturdy Storage Case, FREE!

The Pigtronix Philosopher King is a compressor, sustainer, distortion and polyphonic amplitude synthesizer. Combining our award-winning Philosopher's Tone circuit with a next generation envelope generator, the Philosopher King takes tone several steps further with a full set of ADSR (Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release) controls including swell, fade, hold level, speed range, one-shot mode, selectable auto reset, CV i/o and expression pedals for swell and fade times. With the Swell and Fade functions switched off, the Philosopher King provides transparent optical compression with endless sustain on tap. Adjustable compression (ratio), sustain (threshold) and treble (2k cut / boost) controls allow the musician to tailor the nature of the effect to meet the needs of the material at hand. From a subtle dash of added punch to massive, over-the-top howling sustain, the Philosopher King delivers clean, powerful optical compression. The grit control blends in a layer of sweet harmonic distortion that plays nice with other gain pedals as well as amplifier-generated tube distortion. The Philosopher King's swell function provides a pick triggered volume swell effect. The volume swell can be reset at any moment by muting or held open by continuous playing. This "slow gear" type effect is smooth and controllable with variable timing from extremely fast to very slow. Minimize

The RockboxTM The Red DogTM is a distinctive distortion pedal with volume and gain controls to easily dial in tones from a tweed-like overdrive to aggressive punch. The Red Dog was originally voiced to work best as an "always on" distortion and respond to picking dynamics and the volume knob on a guitar. In recent auditions by our family of artists, however, we are finding that the Red DogTM is also a great distintive solo machine with a signature note bloom and immediacy not present in other distortion devices, especially above the 12th fret. The Red DogTM is also a superior solo machine when placed after the Boiling PointTM, with the Boiling PointTM set to mild clean boost. If you are a volume knob player, you will love how this pedal will clean up for a thick, classic rhythm sound. The Red DogTM is built using the finest audiophile grade components we can find, with minimum signal path interference for a very present response. Final assembly of our effects are followed one final test: Each finished pedal is auditioned using the best test we know of - we listen to it. We truly believe that the Red DogTM is one of the finest distortion effects you will ever purchase. The Red DogTMwill add a wide range of useful tones to your toolbox. Even with the Red DogTM signature sound, it will allow your guitar's sound to remain the foundation of that sound even with the most aggressive distortion settings. If you are like most of us, and have wasted money in the past on effects that just didn't cut it, the Red DogTM will make a believer out of you. We think that you will find the Red DogTM to be a useful tool in your arsenal of sound, and will get a permanent spot on your pedalboard. Minimize

"Walk into most any guitar shop, look at the instruments on ... Read more

"Walk into most any guitar shop, look at the instruments on display and you'll start to notice how the appearance of the electric guitar has remained relatively unchanged since its advent. In designing and building the Sphears line, I was inspired by the question, "What will the future look and feel like?... only from the point of view of living in the 1950's." I drew on numerous retro-future archetypes from film, architecture and pop culture as well as vintage guitars born of forward-thinking designs and choice of materials. I was inspired by the look and tone of Dan Armstrong plexiglass guitars. The plexi body was certainly forward looking and it gave the guitars great sustain, but the dense material made the guitars heavy and uncomfortable. For the Sphears I decided to use plexi as the core of the body, but I was able to reduce the weight by about 60% by carving out a large portion of the material between the perimeter walls and the solid center block. This had the added benefit of adding a unique acoustic quality to the instruments. Another inspiration for me was the guitars made by Nathan Daniel (Danelectro), with their hollow plywood frame and masonite top and back plates. I tried to bring some of that feeling to the Sphears but I opted to use anodized aluminum tone plates to give it a sleek skin. It's a look and material that's consistent with the futuristic yet touch-friendly feeling of the MacBook and iPod. The result for me, and I hope for the artists who I design and build for, is something completely different: futuristic but with a pinch of retro - and a guitar they can rely on as a serious tool." - Dennis Fano Minimize

The knowledge will help you give us the right briefing and in turn we will be able to help you choose the right Rabab for yourself. Rabab is an Afghani string instrument, popular in north Indian music too. It is one of the oldest bowed musical instruments, and uses animal skin in upper and lower part and wood in the rest. Shapes may vary. Rabab is played as a solo instrument as well as accompanies singing long epic poems. The player sits cross-legged, and places the Rabab on his right knee obliquely across his body. The peg box rests against the player's left shoulder. By placing his thumb underneath the strands he uses the pressure to control the tension of the bow. It is said that an expert can reproduce human voice with Rabab. Besides that Rabab can produce easily recognizable rich thick sounds - a combination of high and low tones. **[PACKAGE CONTAINS: Rebab Music Instrument, Rebab Length: 36 To 38 Inches approx., Width: 9 To 10 Inches approx., Height: 7 To 8 Inches approx., Weight: 2 To 2.5 KG approx., Sturdy Storage Case, FREE!

Remember the late sixties? Jimi turning everyone on to wild ... Read more

Remember the late sixties? Jimi turning everyone on to wild fuzz stuff? Maybe not. But you don't have to be old enough to be a hippie to get off on this wild pedal. The circuit uses a combination of germanium diode and transistor fuzz generation and a ring modulator to turn simple chords into nutso note combinations and complex chords into incredible noise...and makes solos soar impossibly high. IN:Far right knob controls input (drive) level. Use just enough for fun but not too much if you need less noise during quiet spots. OUT:Output level is on the left Watch out when you turn it up. TONE:Turn to right for mid scoop tone ( mellow)...to left for more mids (aggressive). HINTS:Use simple chords...three notes if possible... or limit voicing to octaves and fifths. This way you let the pedal generate thirds and control the color of the chords. For solos, play at the twelfth fret (double dot) or higher, using the rhythm pickup. This gives you the purest upper octave result with any brand of high octaver. IMPROVEMENTS:The newest Octane has the exact same audio circuit as the older ones, but has a special LED switching system that preserves the true-bypass while adding an LED on/off indicator. Also, this switching system silences the pedal's circuitry while it is in the "off" mode so it doesn't squeal or hiss in the background. Finally, there are two improvements to reduce radio reception, which was a serious problem with the older designs, and the main reason why I discontinued the pedal in the first place. In some cities, the older octanes picked up radio louder than the guitar! WARNING:As with any fuzz, the nuances of the pedal's tone are lost with a distorted amp. Play fuzz boxes on a cleaner setting to hear the tone... this pedal is so distorted that you won't need any more distortion anyway. Like all Z. Vex designs, current flow is low in this circuit, enhancing battery life. Boards are hand soldered and the electronics are tested three times before... Minimize

Zachary Taylor has based his stunning Vihuela design on the ... Read more

Zachary Taylor has based his stunning Vihuela design on the instrument that is displayed in the Iglesia de la Compañia de Jesús in Quito, Ecuador. A truly remarkable piece, it is thought to be a relic of Saint Mariana de Jesús. Very few existing Vihuelas are known of but the most famous one is the so-called, ‘Guadalupe’ Vihuela in the Musée Jacquemart-André, in Paris. It was probably made around 1500 by an apprentice luthier or cabinet maker as a test piece. Comparatively large, with a narrow neck suggests that whilst appropriate for playing single-note continuo, it would not be suitable for solo performance repertoire or accompanying a vocalist. Although the body of the Vihuela was shallower and lighter than the modern guitar, the scale length was often much longer. The strings were of gut and silk and the frets, which were tied around the neck, were also of gut. Tied frets represent a strong reference to the original instrument but are sometimes troublesome. Changes in humidity, temperature, and clumsy handling can cause changes in the fret location, making replacement difficult for an inexperienced player. For these reasons, the designer, maker and suppliers decided on metal frets as a standard feature. Customers who prefer the more traditional tied frets may request them to be fitted when an order is placed. With six ‘courses’ of strings, the Vihuela has them arranged in pairs and these are usually tuned in unison, although variations were known that used ‘octave’ tuning on the lower-pitched strings, similar to the lute. When used in the musical sense, the word ‘course’, refers to more than one single string and possibly as many as three. Music for the Vihuela was written in tablature, as stave notation was not used for fretted strings in those days. Tablature works well, provided the tuning of the strings is known. Many players prefer tablature Minimize

The Zachary Taylor designed, Panormo Guitar is a superbly c ... Read more

The Zachary Taylor designed, Panormo Guitar is a superbly crafted 'Romantic' guitar based on the innovative works of 19th century master luthier Louis Panormo.Panormo was of Italian parentage, born in Paris in 1784 and became a British citizen in 1851 having settled in London to make guitars. He was a confident maker and even called himself 'The only Maker of Guitars in the Spanish Style'. Perhaps he forgot to add 'outside Spain'?Although similar in appearance to the Spanish guitars, Panormo's soundboard technology followed the current thinking at that time. Thin strips of wood called struts were arranged in a fan shape beneath the lower part of the soundboard. The great Torres advanced the development of this system, more of which is noted in the information on the Torres-Taylor Guitar.Those new to the Romantic, or 'Parlour' guitar, as it is sometimes called, may regard it as smaller than their later model offspring – the modern Classical guitar. The comparatively short scale of 600mm (about 23½ inches) makes the Romantic guitar accessible for players with smaller hands without restricting those with bigger spans. Modern, master luthier Zachary Taylor based this model's design on several guitars by Panormo. Taylor owned an original and examined many others, including one at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He succeeded in creating a beautiful instrument that reproduces the 'feel' and sound of what players recognize as the 'Romantic' guitar. Composers such as Sor, Aguado and their contemporaries would have probably felt very comfortable with this Panormo-based model.Specifications: The Panormo Guitar comes strung with the Roosebeck™ 6-String Romantic Guitar Set (Item Code RBSRG6S), with the recommended tuning being E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (E A d g b e').

Take the old conventions: of in on the right, out on the left, battery connected when input plug is in place, use this pedal before that one for a certain sound, reverse for another, positive ground, negative ground, pedal switching systems... we're living in a 'been there, done that' pedal world. Most every guitarist is familiar with the limitations of putting one fuzz or distortion into another... losing the detail but perhaps gaining that fun "shutdown" effect as one overloads the other, and the "where's my fuzz?" experience of playing a fuzz into a really dirty amp. Limitations. They increase your creativity but hob-gobble your plan. Zvex designed this new distortion generator, Machine, with some different limitations. Like try playing chords through it. Hmmm. But put it in front of any string of fuzz pedals, and try to make it disappear. Machine is actually a dual frequency-tripler circuit that uses crossover distortion for the first time in any pedal, ever. It generates the distortion of the wave in the sloped part of the cycle, instead of the peaks and valleys like all other distorters and fuzzes. In other words, it distorts when your guitar string is in the middle of vibrating, while it's swinging, not as it's turning around. That's the same place where your speaker cone is sort of coasting, between all the way in and all the way out. Where nothing is happening, this pedal happens. With Machine you can leave your favorite distorting pedals on and still add a new element of energetic grind. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that this pedal basically sounds horrible. It's primary purpose is to cut through. But like a wild man with a machete, it is not nice. Knobs are In, which is drive; Limit, which clips the original... Minimize

Do you like to modulate? The Vibro Man packs three kinds of modulating effects into one pedal: Vibrato, tremolo and vibrating filter. The vibrato offers a smooth pitch-varying effect that you can adjust from subtle to radical and everything in between. The tremolo adds beautiful sine-wave tremolo typical of classic tube amps. But by cranking the depth you can get square-wave chopping effects that add more bite to your sound. The best part is that both vibrato and tremolo can be enabled together and controlled by a single speed knob. But if you thought that was enough, the fine folks at Kilpatrick Audio decided it might be fun to be able to switch the vibrato for something a bit more dramatic. The vibrating band-pass filter fits the bill with a high-Q sweeping filter. The depth affects the frequency range of the filter sweeping. And of course it can be used along with the tremolo effect for incredible sounds. All of the effects are produced in stereo, so that you get two synchronized, but different channels which sound great when played through two amps. The Vibro Man is the first Kilpatrick Audio pedal with a touch-sensitive mode. By enabling the Touch footswitch, the depth of each effect reacts to your playing. For instance, start with a subtle vibrato that gets deeper as you play louder. This really brings new possibility to effects which are conventionally non-reactive. The results are really quite interesting and fun to use. With high-quality construction using only high quality parts the Vibro Man is designed for a lifetime of rocking. The enclosure is made from cold-rolled steel with a powder-coated paint job for long life. Circuitry is hand-wired and tested for perfection. Battery life is long due to a low-power design, and with the unique Pure Bypass technology, pristine sound quality is maintained in your signal path when the effect is out of the circuit. Minimize
