Chase Bliss unveils Warped Vinyl HiFi

Originally conceived to simulate the effect of a warped vinyl record, but that only scratches the surface of what Warped Vinyl HiFi can do. This “true pitch” analog vibrato/chorus pedal features an all-analog signal path that can be dialed in to create limitless palette of vibrato and chorus. Warped Vinyl HiFi has several changes from previous versions, including a lag knob for lush chorus tones, reduced noise, and opportunities for more transparent and brighter tones. Further, every knob and switch is connected to a little digital brain while your guitar signal stays 100% analog the entire time and never gets digitally processed. Since the control of the effect is digital, it opens up unprecedented effects and features that have never been heard or offered in analog stompboxes.

The Warped Vinyl HiFi is up for pre-order exclusively at Reverb.

MF Stupid Deal - Walrus 385 Overdrive

Musician's Friend is running a daily deal for the Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive. It's on sale for $119, a savings of $80 off its usual price.

Walrus Audio is extremely excited to announce the new 385 Overdrive that is boastfully responsible for all those adjectives. For decades now, guitarists in search of pure tone have been taking the tube-powered audio sections of vintage film projectors and using it as a guitar amp. Heads up – it sounds amazing. After endless hours of research on vintage Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound projector, Walrus has created a fantastic new overdrive modeled after the projector’s tone. The Bell and Howell 385 gracefully lends itself to create an amazing guitar amp. Its simple, but effective controls, plus dual 6V6 output section make for a simple and extremely responsive amp that has an amazing compressed overdrive when cranked. THIS was the sound and feel Walrus needed to shoot for in an amp-like pedal. The 385 was developed to have the same simple but effective tone control as it’s grandfather. The amp has this as well but bass and treble are stacked behind the single tone knob. With their design breaking them up, Walrus allows for a much wider array of tones to be achieved. The user is able to boost and cut bass and treble, allowing them to be creative with mid-frequency scoops and bumps. The pedal is internally running at 18v, which helps nail the same dynamic feel of the amp in a stomp box. This means it is extremely sensitive to how hard you dig in – just like the amp.

Donnerdeal's somewhat confusing Black Friday Sale

Donnerdeal has unveiled their Black Friday deals, and they're kinda all over the place.

First up are the daily flash deals. These will occur only on three select days, and is limited to the first 50 customers. It's a bit strange, as none of these deals seem so great that they should be limited to a single day, or to a limited number of buyers.

On Nov 23, the Yellow Fall delay will be $20
On Nov 24, the Alpha Cruncher will be $40 and the DP-2 power supply will be $25
On Nov 27 (yup, they're just gonna skip ahead three days), the DP-1 power supply will be $30

On November 20 and 21, Hotone pedals will be 35% off with the code ZPCEVRVQWDCQ. This one is actually interesting, as Donnerdeal already has some of the lowest prices for this brand at $49.99 to $69.99 depending on the exact pedal. The discount would bring those prices down to $32.50 to $45.50. Also noteworthy is that in the Black Friday ad, a Valeton pedal is shown alongside the Hotones, which suggests Valeton pedals could also be part of the 35% off sale, even though it's not specifically stated.

On November 22 to 27, guitar pedals, accessories and power supplies are up to 30% off. The exact discount for each product isn't revealed yet, though the ad shows the DP-1 power supply at $30, which oddly enough is also what's advertised as the flash deal for November 27 earlier in the ad.

On November 28 to 30, pedalboards are 25% off. This one is definitely worth noting if you're in need of a pedalboard - their largest one, measuring 20" x 12", will be selling for $51, and includes velcro and a carrying case.

All orders over $45 will receive a gift chosen at random - the possible gifts seem to be a tin of picks, a guitar cable, a capo or a t-shirt. You'll also receive a $12 coupon on your next order over $150. This is another odd thing I find about this sale - given the store's low prices, hitting $150 in a single order would be a bit of a task, and a 8% discount isn't a particularly attractive reward for doing so. No days were given on when this promotion occurs.

Lastly, the largest order (no dates given on this one either) will win the DWS-2 wireless system. The second largest will win a Page Turner Pedal, and the third largest a Hotone Pedal priced below $59.99. The weird thing about this one is that the third-place prize would probably be of the most value to most guitarists. The first-place prize is only desirable if you're planning to go wireless, and the second-place prize is basically a tablet accessory to scroll through pages.

OBNE unveils Excess Distortion Chorus/Delay

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Excess is everything you need for your next ripping session in 1985 and beyond. The goods : high gain distortion, lush chorus and slapback delay in a selectable series or parallel signal path.

The Excess has separate volume controls for both the Distortion and the Modulation effects. The modulation mode is changed via the secondary stompswitch which changes between chorus and delay.

The signal path can be changed by the SERIES / PARALLEL toggle switch. In Series mode, the Distortion effect flows into the Modulation effect, stacking their sound and volumes. In Parallel mode, the two effects are summed to a single output, resulting in a clear modulation with a distorted layer underneath, cleanly separated.

You can't get enough. I can see it in your eyes. You need more. Maybe the Excess will do you just fine. Mayhaps.

The Excess is currently in presale, and will ship on December 2nd. Learn more about the pedal over at Old Blood Noise Endeavors' website. Below is one of OBNE's usual hipstery demoes for the Excess, which is in stereo, even if the pedal is mono.

MF Stupid Deal - Pigtronix Disnortion Micro

Musician's Friend is running a daily deal for the Pigtronix OFM Disnortion Micro Pedal. It is on sale for $74, which is $55 off its usual price.

Pigtronix Disnortion Micro packs all the sonic glory and 18v headroom of the original analog Fuzz and Overdrive circuits from the large-format Disnortion pedal into a miniature version that runs on 9-volts. The original, 3-footswitch Disnortion pedal was in production from 2005 to 2015 and remains in constant use with world-class bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Aerosmith, Living Colour and Muse. In response to a decade’s worth of customer feedback, we proudly update this classic analog stompbox with the introduction of the Pigtronix Disnortion Micro.

This new micro version of the Disnortion hugely one-ups the original’s broad palette of touch responsive dirt sounds by including the ability to switch from a parallel routing to a new, super-saturated series routing where the 6-stage CMOS overdrive circuit is cascaded into our unique diode clipping fuzz and output through a 6-way passive filter network. A single gain knob controls the saturation of both the fuzz and overdrive circuits simultaneously.

The Parallel routing mode is ideal for players who like to pile on the gain without sacrificing clarity, dynamic response, punch or low end - it’s like double tracking your guitar inside a micro pedal! The Series routing mode offers an even wider range of gain and more extreme filter effects for metal tones and beyond, including self-oscillating timbres that can be modulated by pickup selection and guitar control settings.

The CMOS overdrive found in the Disnortion Micro responds to the dynamics of your playing using a unique, 6-stage gain architecture that retains the natural tone of your instrument while adding tube-style breakup as you play louder. Pigtronix Fuzz has a unique diode-clipping architecture designed to deliver compression and controllable feedback while preserving the dynamics of your playing style. The rotary tone control filter switch provides 6 musical EQ curves using a complex passive network which compliments the Overdrive channel’s traditional low-pass filter.

The original Pigtronix Disnortion is loved for its limitless headroom, making it compatible with any instrument, from the weakest '60s pawnshop single-coils the most belligerent humbuckers as well as 5-string active basses and modern synth rigs. Pigtronix Disnortion Micro achieves this world-class performance standard using standard 9v power—and it fits in your pocket.

TC Electronic unveils Analog Armada line of pedals

TC Electronic is introducing eight new pedals similar to the "Smorgasbord of Tone" line they released last year. The new offering of analog pedals include some interesting options, like an auto-swell and what looks like an (unfortunately mono) BOSS Dimension C clone. You can learn more about the Analog Armada at the official product page.

The hammer of the gods has driven the armada to your shores with a cargo of brand spanking new analog effects.

This eccentric bunch is as varied as it is colorful, with rare and essential effects alike and tones that are guaranteed to inspire and satisfy those looking for studio quality tones and bang-for-your-buck.

With strong steel enclosures and top mounted input/ouput jacks, these sturdy stompboxes provide analog warmth with true bypass circuitry so your tone stays totally unaffected when the effects are off.
