The Diezel VH4 Boutique Amp is, according to many players, one of the top amps available today.
This amp has a number of great features that make it very useful to players of all genres and styles. For one, the Diezel VH4 has, as its name implies, four different preamp channels that you can adjust independently of each other. This allows for a great number of options. In fact, the VH4 has sound options and other characteristics that cover everything from ultragain to superclean.
It doesn’t matter what you’re playing—want a funky sound or very clean tones? Adjust channels one and two. You can also use the gain on either channel one or two to create blues tones and vintage sounds. On channel three and four you’ll find the heavy metal and high gain leads that rockers so love. Each channel also features a switchable insert loop. (more...)
If you want a very versatile pedal that will let you switch between two channels quickly, you should check out the Barber Burn Unit EQ Overdrive Pedal.
This pedal brings in many different features and allows you to quickly and easily go from something like a blues overdrive to full saturation to almost pure distortion. The Barber Burn Unit comes with the Dynamics control, a unique feature that allows you to dial up compression for crunch and sustain. To add in versatility, the interactive Tone dial allows you to cover just about any tone that you’d ever want. (more...)
The Tony Bruno Tweedy Pie Handmade 45 Watt Boutique Amp brilliantly captures the classic tweed tone of 1955.
Tony Bruno used this dual rectifier tone as the jumping off point in creating the Tweedy Pie 45 watt amp, but he didn’t stop there. He put everything he had into making an amp that refined the tone into something that was almost truly perfect. The Tweedy Pie 45 has some very sweet highs, features a warm midrange tone, and can produce full bass notes with amazing dynamics and touch sensitivity. Dial it down into the lower volume settings and you’ll find clean tones, but when you turn the volume way up, you get rich harmonics and an excellent distortion. (more...)
