Mutron III Plus Envelope Filter Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are many almost as good but none that will capture Jerry's "WOMP" like the pedal he actually uses, the original 1970's Mutron III (not+) His is the original cicuit from the 1970's. This one sounds as close as anything to that likely. Many musicians/guitarists swear the
"Dis-cum-BOB-ulator" by EMMA is nice, Q-Tron better,
If you are lookin' for Jerry's sound, or just a whole lotta FUN this pedal will provide that for you. You will not regret buying it.
I have a Maxon Auto Filter (got it for cheap), which has an analog circuit and is great fun, but the effect is set at the factory too fast/quick in its timing---not enough sustain when clean-relative to my optimum vision, which is largely formed from Jerry's sound.
!!! IF ITS NOT A LIVING BABY, THEN YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT !!!

Electro-Harmonix 2880 Super Multi-track Looper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 2880 wants to be so much, but misses the mark at times and as such--arguably must take a second chair to the RC-50.
To consider it in a world where no other looper was available, it has some great features (i.e. big switches and loads of time for the four tracks it does offer); but in a world where having the option to select a different bank for a fresh series of loops on the fly exists, the 2880 has no such option. This means you must save the four tracks you just recorded (without any easily visible 'undo' or 'clear' option for each individual track) prior to creating a new set of loops OR lose what you've recorded so far in the process.
The reverse and octave features are nice for mixing layering effects and such you wish to accomplish using only the looper. The addition of a 5th mix-down track is unique, but oddly out of place given the initial limitations on recording. Quantize and Clix features should showcase some of the lofty goals the designers had for this pedal, but instead they highlight the flaws and limitations (no visible BPM, slider to change value, single sound).
If you consider yourself a pedal collector or an organic-loop purist (although this model eschews that analog philosophy for a digital stab at recreating analog action) you might want to add and keep this in your arsenal for its rich history and on-board, on-the-fly mixing and layering options.
If you are looking for a looper with on-board versatility, a deep rhythm section, multiple track recording with multiple storage banks--look elsewhere.

Electro-Harmonix Ring Thing Modulator Guitar Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I always wanted to explore a ring modulator. This is not a one-trick pony thou. You have a tunable ring mod, tremolo, pitch shifter, upper band mod, low band mod along with a few weird things in between. This is a fun pedal for exploring non-traditional modulation applications. If you want a safe pretty effect, this may not suit your taste. This pedal goes beyond metal. It's electric guitar synthesis. Bell tones, sci-fi sounds, ethnic timbres. If you're looking for something new in sound, this is it.

Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer XO Analog Guitar Microsynth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First and foremost, this is NOT a polyphonic pedal meaning that it only handles single notes. Secondly, do not expect to plug this baby in and be able to know what you're doing right off the bat. There is a fair learning curve that comes with this pedal, but once you understand each parameter, you will have access to hundred of combinations of those parameters and unique, exciting sounds.
The octave section of this pedal features parameters for three octave voices and your original, dry signal. The sub-octave can make your guitar sound very bass-like, but can also break up and become glitchy with lower notes (some guitarists actually prefer the bass microsynth to handle these lower notes). The octave up didn't particularly impress me, but was useful when used with the original, dry signal - don't expect any tycobrahe octavio tones from this. The square wave is VERY synthy and can add a whole mess of nasty to your signal.
Moving down the line of parameters, the attack delay is next. This is a really neat effect that could probably be a single stompbox in its own right. You can get some cool bowed type sounds from this.
Finally, the filter sweep section of the pedals - this section is where things can get really crazy. The start and stop parameters control the frequency where the signal begins and where it ends. With both sliders down, you can get a low-pass filter type of effect. Both sliders fully up will preserve the original frequency throughout without any sweep. The rate control handles how quickly the sound progresses from the start to stop parameters. You can get some cool envelope filter type quacks when this is set lower or some drawn out synthy sweeps when it is fully up.
The two parameters I didn't really touch on are trigger and resonance. One controls the sensitivity that triggers the filter sweep. The other (resonance) can sort of be described as the intensity of the sweep sound.
Bottom line: great pedal with many, many possibilities for the open-minded guitarist.
