Cusack Meta Plexi Overdrive/Distortion

We first saw the Cusack Meta Plexi at NAMM 2020 but we kind of lost track of it until today, thanks to the video below by Mike Hermans. The pedal has an enthusiastic written review here. This take on the classic Marshall tone gives you all the expected settings and control, plus a second footswitch (Lead) that can add 3, 6, or 9dB boost after the distortion circuit, giving you additional volume without extra saturation. A Toggle switch lets you pick two voicings: “Vintage” (more dynamic and defined) or “Modern” (more saturated with a little mid scoop). We added the Cusack Music Meta Plexi to our list of the Best Plexi Pedals and Marshall-inspired Distortions. Description: This distortion pedal features all of the crank you’ve heard on classic records for decades. The Meta Plexi is based on a classic amplifier preamp and features Treble, Mid, and Bass controls to dial in the sound to your rig. “Lead” channel is a selectable 3, 6, or 9dB boost after the distortion circuit giving you additional volume without extra saturation. Features: -Analog signal path -3 band EQ (treble, mids, and bass) based on a Plexi tone stack -Post distortion “Lead” channel with selectable 3, 6, or 9db boost. -Toggle […]...

Cusack Music Tap-A-Delay Deluxe

Here's a video by the Pedal Zone about the fully loaded 750ms delay from Cusack Music, released early this year 2017. It's name is Tap-A-Delay!
The Tap-A-Delay is a 750mS digital delay that mixes the original analog signal with the delayed signal. It is gritty, a bit noisy, and very analog sounding. This isn’t your clean studio quality digital delay with perfect repeats.... Click on the title for more

AJ Peat Pedals’ Screaming Flamingo and Dirty Buzzard

Orange County boutique manufacturer AJ Peat, owned and founded by Luthier and self-described tinkerer Andrew James Peat, builds guitars, effect pedals and other signature audio devices. At the 2016 Summer NAMM show in Nashville his pedals were on display in the Cusack/Mojo Hand booth. This was due to the fact that Jon Cusack offered to help AJ design non-hand-built versions of Peat's effects. We actually had a chance to talk to AJ directly about this and he was so happy about the results he was almost questioning why he stuck to hand building for so long: "the new, mass built designs sound identical to their hand built counterparts"- he said. Surely Jon Cusack's engineering brain came in handy to pull off this accomplishment.... Click on the title for more

Cusack Tap-A-Delay at the Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit 2014

If in a delay pedal you are looking for character rather than purity of tone, you may want to check out the Cusack Tap-A-Delay, available for testing at our upcoming Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit 2014. Providing 750ms of delay and 8 modulation options, this highly configurable pedal belongs to the gritty, analog sounding category - it's even a little noisy, but isn't a little bit of hiss kind of cool at times? ...
