The Pedals

EBS DynaVerb High Dynamics Stereo Reverb Pedal

EBS Gear and Bass Guitars. Could there be a better match?

Not only do EBS masterfully create some quality products for bass, but as of 2020 they can consider themselves an award winning company, winning Bass Player Magazine's "Best Bass Head" Award, and then again in 2021, winning the "Best Effect Unit" Award also.

The DynaVerb features three different Modes or types of reverb - Room, Plate, and Hall. Room and Plate can run in three variations, A, B, and C (explained in detail in the manual), while the Hall reverb offers two variations A, B (C same as B). It makes a total of 8 different reverbs. The controls simply set the volume for the tone (Tone), and how much of the reverb you'd like to blend in (Reverb). It uses a 24-bit digital processing circuitry for outstanding and noiseless performance on stage and in the recording studio. It has stereo input as well as stereo out. Also, Inside the box, you can change the pedal to run in parallel mode, if preferred in the studio. It literally ticks all the boxes.

Fun Fact: Not just for the bass player. The EBS DynaVerb Studio Edition is highly recommended to use with bass and keyboard. The Stereo in and out adds to the usability and the excellent sound quality is comparable to any studio rack unit. EBS now also offers a DynaVerb Guitar Edition, with a different tail suited especially for use with guitar.

We go through all the controls/settings, with zero faffing about, for your enjoyment. SO GO ENJOY IT! ...and give us an ould like and subscribe there too will yaaaaaaaaa? Thanks.

JHS Pedals - Paul Gilbert PG-14 Signature Distortion Pedal

There simply is no better way to describe this pedal than the way Josh Scott of JHS Pedals described it:

"JHS Pedals is proud to release the Paul Gilbert signature distortion "PG-14!” This is a new and unique distortion pedal specifically designed to Paul's specifications. At the heart of the circuit is a FET based distortion engine that emulates the touch, feel, and the response of a pushed tube amplifier.

This circuitry allows the player to have the dynamics and tone of loud stadium level amplifier at low/moderate volume levels.

...A bonus feature is that it gives you all of Paul Gilbert’s

talent, decades of experience, good looks, and countless years of practice."
