Catalinbread Adineko oil can delay

adineko_front-362x600[1] Have you ever wondered why many audiophiles or top engineers still don't seem able to admit that digital - in the audio realm - sounds better than analog? The answer is "character": digital is pristine, boring precision, while analog - like a familiar looking, slightly unpredictable, cigarette-puffing actor of the '50s - is romanticized flaw. What analog lovers would have never imagined is that digital one day could become better than analog by being able to reproduce its flaws, while allowing more control over them....

Delicate Steve’s Effect Pedals

13729196_1256187777755386_8999857685950939057_n[1] If music is language, Delicate Steve's mother tongue is electric guitar - with an assorted stompbox accent. Few contemporary guitarists master the six strings' vocabulary the way he does, unafraid as he is to experiment with tone, effects, and parts. Edgy and forward looking artists like Paul Simon to tUnE-yArDs, Mac DeMarco, Dr. Dog, Lee Ranaldo and Built to Spill, realized that, asking Steve Marion to play or record with them. The NJ based musician made ears turn in 2011-2012 with two instrumental records ('Wondervisions' and 'Positive Force') that showcased his imaginative, world music infused compositions. After a lot of touring, and a live album dated 2015, Delicate Steve is about to return with his third full length, entitled 'This is Steve' and scheduled for a January 27 release on Anti Records....

front-small_44b43906-749f-4ef9-b41b-6331dcf70c94_1024x10241 The limit of many fuzz pedals is their "one-trick-poniness."

Seminal vintage pedals: Marshall Supa Fuzz – by Gearphoria

dscn55241 In production for over a decade starting in the mid-1960s, the Marshall Supa Fuzz bounced through several iterations during its run. Those examples were built by Sola Sound’s Gary Hurst chiefly using the Tonebender MkII circuit. The earliest Supa Fuzz’s actually used a version of the MkI circuit and boasted a tone filter and pre-set gain levels. The Supa Fuzz was popularized by the likes of Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck and the late Ron Asheton. Today, some of the more popular versions of the Supa Fuzz will set you back a few thousand dollars. There are a few builders that make clones of the pedal. Check out offerings from Pigdog, Castledine, DenTone, CBC Pedals and Farmland for the low down. - Read the full article on Gearphoria.com!...

Dirty-Dishes Noise is not a stranger in NYC, whether you are referring to the city's ambient sound or its musical counterpart, which is - more often than not - generated by distorted guitars and fuzz pedals. Guitarist and vocalist Jenny Tuite's band Dirty Dishes inserts itself in this noise rock tradition, which gave us unforgettably turbulent recordings by bands like the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and A Place To Bury Strangers. It turns out Jenny is borderline obsessed with stompboxes, and had no problem sharing with us some effect related tricks she does when playing.... Click on the title for more
