Coda Effects Crowdfunding Project: the Dolmen Fuzz and the Montagne Tremolo

Benoît from Coda Effects started tinkering with pedal circuits a while back and his passion has led him to develop two original circuits. The financing of the production of the kits or assembled pedals is the subject of a crowdfunding project on ulule: https://www.ulule.com/codaeffects/.

The Dolmen Fuzz is a Big Muff inspired pedal with tons of sonic options such as a mid control and a clipping switch to alter the compression:

The Montagne tremolo is an analog Tremolo driven by digital technology which allows for things like a Tap Tempo or six waveforms including a random one!

 

 

Boss CE-2W and Robben Ford Blues Cube Tone Capsule

Two new pieces of gear from Roland/Boss caught my attention at summer NAMM.

First, the CE-2 Waza craft version, aka CE-2W, is an all analog updated version of the sought after Chorus pedal from the 80s. It sports the regular CE-2 mode but also a CE-1 mode, a vibrato mode, and it has got stereo outputs which the original CE-2 didn’t have. At the time, it prompted Boss to release the CE-3 which did not encounter the same success but was stereo.

Secondly, Robben Ford, who is known for using one of the most elusive and probably expansive amps out there, a Dumble Overdrive Special, has collaborated with Roland to produce a “Tone Capsule” for its Blues Cube series of amps. This capsule gives the Blues Cube a Dumble type of sound which is very accurate according to Robben Ford himself, despite it having no tube at all. I must say the sort demo on this video sounds pretty good, but then it’s Robben Ford playing…

Andy Timmons Premier Guitar Rundown

The premierguitar.com rig rundowns have become pretty indispensable to GAS stricken guitarists.

Andy Timmons is one of the “tonemeisters” of the modern era and this rig rundown is full of amazing guitar sounds. For those of you who have a Boss BD-2 modded by Keeley, the little trick of lowering the volume on the guitar (around 20:40 in the video) is priceless.
