BOSS unveils MD-500 Modulation pedal
Powered by advanced BOSS technology, the ultra-versatile MD-500 delivers nearly any type of modulation effect a musician could want, and then some. Included are 28 different algorithms with intensive programming parameters, offering a nearly limitless sound palette to create with. And with class-defying 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit floating point processing, and 96 kHz sampling rate throughout, you’ll enjoy pristine sound quality that extends beyond the capabilities of the very best studio hardware.
Effects in the MD-500 include many new Prime types developed with cutting-edge BOSS tech, plus authentic sonic recreations of vintage classics like the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, Roland Dimension D, ‘70s script phaser, ‘80s tri-chorus, and numerous others. With the ability to use two patches at once with A/B Simul mode, the MD-500 can likely cover all your mod needs with one convenient pedal. And by inserting drive pedals in the MD-500’s flexible external loop, it’s easy to place mod effects before, after, or around the loop as needed for the very best sound.
Joining the announcement of the RV-500 reverb is the MD-500 modulation pedal. According to a page on Guitar Center, the MD-500 will ship on July 3 and is priced at $349.99

BOSS unveils RV-500 Reverb
Journey to new dimensions of time and space with the RV-500, the most powerful and versatile reverb processor BOSS has ever produced. This multifaceted creation machine features class-defying 32-bit AD/DA along with 32-bit/96 kHz floating point processing and immense programmability, putting pro-level studio reverb and more at your feet.
Twelve modes and 21 newly developed reverb algorithms deliver a huge range of textures, from complementary ambience to deep, immersive sonic atmospheres. And thanks to the RV-500’s high-octane DSP, you can access a full-featured digital delay along with every reverb patch, and even run two reverb patches at once! Adding in MIDI I/O, support for external footswitch/expression control, and USB for connection to the free RV-500 Editor/Librarian software, the RV-500 is simply the most advanced reverb pedal available, bar none.
Almost two years after the announcement of the DD-500, BOSS has finally unveiled it's reverb counterpart, the RV-600. The feature-rich pedal should compete with the likes of Strymon and Source Audio's upper-end reverb pedals. According to a product page on Guitar Center, the BOSS RV-600 will be available on July 3 and is priced at $349.99
For more info on the RV-600, visit the official product page.
TC Electronic unveils Sub 'N' Up Mini octaver
Delivering all of the polyphonic octave pleasantries that you know from its bigger brother, the Sub 'N' Up Mini sounds huge but looks tiny.
Focusing on simplicity and ease of use, we did away with the mini toggle switch and the two octaves down knob.
Naturally, you can still turn Sub 'N' Up Mini into an old school monophonic octaver for that crackling pitch glitch of the olden days.
If you're into a more modern sound and feel, the polyphonic octave algorithm keeps all your notes tracking true even when playing chords and harmonies or laying down the bottom pitch.
Or, tap into the inspiring tones of our TonePrint family of artists. Just use the free TonePrint app to beam in your tone of choice and strap in for something really pitchin'!
The Sub 'N' Up Mini is priced at $99.99. For more info, hit up the official product page.
DOD Boneshaker back on sale at $49.99
DigiTech is putting the DOD Boneshaker back on sale at the Harman store. They ran a similar sale on the feature-heavy distortion pedal in March for $39.99, but are selling them this time around at $49.99, which includes free shipping. At $100 off its usual price, it remains a great deal to jump on. The sale will end on July 2nd, or when pedals run out.
TC Electronic unveils Flashback 2 Delay
TC Electronic has unveiled the inevitable Flashback 2 Delay. Much like the Hall of Fame 2 reverb pedal, the Flashback 2 will have the pressure-sensitive "MASH" footswitch, octave capabilities, and two additional TonePrint slots over its predecessor. The stereo in jack can also act as an tap tempo input. For more information on this pedal, visit the official product page.
The new Flashback 2 serves up a sonic buffet of expressive delay by infusing the pressure sensitive MASH technology with our renowned delay algorithms.
We completely redeveloped our Tape and Analog algorithms from scratch, recreating the tones of old school echoes with unheard realism, including every little eccentric behavior inherent in those legendary designs.
We also squeezed in a shimmering Crystal delay, made with our own polyphonic octave algorithm from Sub 'N' Up into Flashback 2.
And finally, with 3 TonePrint slots in total, you get more flexibility than ever, and all the legendary delay sounds that TC Electronic are famous for.
MF Stupid Deal - Rockett Pedals Flex Drive
Musician's Friend's Stupid Deal of the Day is the J Rockett Flex Drive. It's on sale for $99, half off its usual price.
The Flex Drive is Rockett's most versatile overdrive of the bunch. This was their attempt to achieve the Malcolm sound which is one of their favorite rhythm tones ever. However, the Flex Drive will get you all the way to VH-2 which happens to be one of their favorite lead tones ever. Luckily enough all of the settings in between can achieve amazing blues and country tones as well, that's why it's called the Flex Drive. This is just an incredible tool for studio and live performances.

JHS introduces Pink Panther delay
The original Pink Panther was one of the early JHS pedals in our line and was the first JHS delay pedal dating back to 2007-2008. The new Pink Panther is now the continuation of our delay line, and it embraces our goal to bring you a highly versatile, simple and unique line of delay pedals. The original 2007-2008 era rare/original units sell used for upwards of $500, so we thought it was time to go back to the drawing board to bring you what we consider the ultimate JHS reissue nearly ten years later. While the Panther Delay (large box, silver) and Panther Cub V1.5 (smaller box, teal) offer up authentic and genuine bucket brigade analog goodness, the Pink Panther takes a different approach: unashamed digital processing. Some of our favorite delay pedals ever made are early digital delays like the Boss DD-5, Ibanez DE7, DDL and the DOD DFX9. We think that the Pink Panther tips its hat to those units that replicate, effect and mold your guitar tone into something that only digital delay can. With a small footprint, loads of features and a simplistic user experience, we believe the search for the perfect delay is over!
Features Include
– 1 Second of Delay Time
– Tape or Digital Clean Modes
– Two Types of Modulation
– Dark EQ Knob for Repeats
– On-board Tap Tempo
– Top Mounted Input/Output Jacks
– External Tap Tempo Jack
– 4 Subdivisions (1/4, dotted 1/8, 1/8, Triplets)
– Small compact footprint
– Standard 9V DC Negative power
The Pink Panther is priced at $249. For more info, visit the official product page.
EHX unveils Tone Corset Analog Compressor
Electro-Harmonix introduces the Tone Corset analog compressor, a compact OTA (Operational Transconductance Amplifier) compressor with an organic quality that works especially well with guitar.
The Tone Corset’s four-knob design provides excellent control and gives the user the ability to precisely shape their instrument’s dynamics. Compression effects ranging from subtle to extreme and all points in between are possible.
The pedal’s Sustain knob controls the amount of compression applied to the guitar signal. The Attack knob adjusts how quickly the compressor recovers. As Attack is turned clockwise the pedal’s response is slower and more initial pick attack comes thru. The Blend knobs adjusts the mix of the dry and compressed signals. By blending both the player can achieve a sound where the dry signal allows the natural pick attack to come thru while the compressed side turns up the volume as the note decays. Volume adjusts the overall output level of the effect. A Pad switch pads down the input signal to prevent undesirable distortion when the pedal is used with high output humbuckers, bass guitar, etc.
The Tone Corset features True Bypass switching to ensure maximum signal path integrity and comes with a 9 Volt battery.

MF Stupid Deal - Pigtronix Quantum Time Modulator
Musician's Friend has a daily deal going for the Pigtronix Quantum Time Modulator. It's going for $119, and usually sells for about $199.
The Pigtronix Quantum Time Modulator produces a parallel universe of analog time stretching effects with only three knobs and a single switch. Reflecting the fundamental principals of modern atomic physics in pedal form, the Pigtronix Quantum can be in any number of places at once and will change in response to both input and observation.
Pigtronix Quantum utilizes multiple bucket brigade delay lines with independent clocks modulated by a continuous blend of envelope and LFO sources. The corresponding sensitivity, speed and source controls are augmented by a Chorus / Vibe switch which allows the user to choose between pure effect or a mix of clean signal and modulated audio. This eminently flexible, yet easy to use configuration, combined with a TRS stereo output provides numerous sound field configurations for mono, true stereo, wet / dry and wet / dry / wet rigs.
Going well beyond the event horizon of existing modulation pedals, the Pigtronix Quantum slams the classic tones of complex rack units such as the Zappa's MicMix DynaFlanger, Lifeson's TC 1210 Spatial Expander & the venerable Roland Dimension D into a tiny and affordable analog stompbox while also blazing new territory that provides a musical analogy to the essential nature of reality itself.

TC Electronic unveils Pipeline Tap Tremolo
The widely anticipated Pipeline Tap Tremolo takes the vintage warmth that made the tremolo effect so iconic and pairs it with a modern edge for more radical situations.
Pipeline has both soft Vintage sine waves and solid Square blocks available at the flick of a switch and with up to 6 dBs of boost you'll never sound thin or deflated.
The footswitch is tap tempo-enabled for fast tempo adjustments and the Subdivision knob lets you splice the tempo into seven inspiring rhythmic accents.
And last but not least - it's TonePrint-enabled, giving you an endless array of possibilities in a little box that won't put a ding in your board.
