Winter NAMM 2012 News
You aren’t going to find too many dual channel compressors with a sound like the JDK Audio R22 Compressor for the price. Compressors are definitely getting cheaper and cheaper but this is definitely a professional piece of gear with a unique sound and make up to bring to table. I’d recommend it as a go to compressor in a home studio or one of ...
I like the versatility and warmth that can come out of it. I like the fact that it also can really rip when it's cranked. The price is definitely up there, but worth it if you are recording the kind of music that needs a little (or a lot of) distortion every now and then. Its worth the buy.
What I like most about this unit is kind of hard to explain, only because it might not sound like a tone you would want, but trust me, you do. Basically, I find that this plugin reminds me of "Digital Clipping." Usually that is a tone avoided at all costs but imagine you get the grit and character of Digital clipping with the warmth and smooth...
What I like most about this plugin is what I love most about all Moog stuff; The amazing sound quality. I have never heard a phaser pedal that sounded this good. In fairness, I am most familiar with boss phasers, Line 6, and lots of different synth built in and software phasers. This is one of the "cheaper" moogerfoogers coming in aro...
A-Designs is one of my very favorite gear makers. Overall, the ATTY is a great general purpose studio tool that does what I want it to as simply as possible--no more, no less. It's dead simple to use, quiet, and the quality is very good. There's only one thing that particularly bugs me about this unit: when the level pot is al...
I love this box. You can get tons of sounds with digital gear these days but sometimes it's more rewarding to just concoct something yourself with analog devices. I already loved the Moog pedals before getting this but the amount of new sounds I got after having it are definitely worth the cost. The Moog delay in particular is greatly enhanced b...
This pedal is surely not for everyone but for me it's perfect. The price may seem steep but after touring the factory and seeing how the workers are treated I would say the price is perfect. This is not built in a massive plant like other manufacturers. All of the people I met at MOOG were musicians and seemed to really care about what they were...
The Frostwave Sonic Alienator is a really fun pedal to mess around with! It's definitely not a necessity for anyone's pedal board, but will always bring something to the table for sure. It's not something that I'd need to personally have on my pedal board, but in the studio it's an awesome tool to have around for all different types of purpose...
Alesis' The Wedge is a great way to get some nice sounding reverbs in a compact device at a cheap price. For most, it's probably going to be more efficient and effective to get a nice reverb plug-in, but this is going to be cheaper. I'd check it out if you're able but it's not that readily available, so most will be taking a shot in the dark b...
While not everyone is going to have a need for A-Designs ATTY, for those who do this is a high quality option at a pretty reasonable price. A-Designs outlines all the uses for this on their site, but I've used it for volume control on a passive set of speakers for the most part, although it does float around at the studio and will sometimes be ...
