New Pedals: JHS Twin Twelve

The Slivertone "Twin Twelve" 1484 is a classic sleeper amp. Manufactured by Sears in the 60s, the amp packs a ton of sound in a somewhat rickety plywood cabinet. Because of the poor build quality, and a tinny and temperamental reverb circuit, the amp has classically never been as popular…Click on the title for more

Wampler Plexi Drive Deluxe

Another pedal that caught our attention at NAMM 2015 was Wampler's new Plexi Drive Deluxe, which will be released on February 27, 2014. We at Delicious Audio are huge fans of the Plexi era of Marshall amps, but the truth is, they're massive and hard to find - and hard…Click on the title for more

MXR Il Torino Overdrive

MXR pedals have been among the best selling stompboxes for quite some time, and the brains behind the US brand - originally based in Rochester, NY, but now owned by California based Dunlop Manufacturing - must have thought that a little bit of Italian (sonic) flair might be something good…Click on the title for more

Review: Klon 3 aka KTR

I’ve always wanted a Klon. I played the first Centaur in the late 90's at a friend’s studio in San Francisco and by then they were already over $600. Somehow I missed the second model. I must have given up on being able to afford one by then. But a…Click on the title for more
