Gull Triple Voice Wah

The Gull pedal offers two distinct “wah” sounds (light and heavy), plus a dual-filter “yoy-yoy” effect. The SLOPE knob shapes the wah/yoy effect, while the BOOST function for amps is designed to up the volume of the output signal. The HOTSPOT button adjusts the onset of the effect, creating a less-sudden an more-musical wah response, according to T-Rex.

Hobo Drive

At its core, Hobo Drive is a 2-stage preamp controlled via traditional PREAMP and MASTER volume controls. It also features a TONE control for customizing the overdrive sound. On top of the preamp core is a boost function designed for soloing, single-note lines, etc. Finally, a PRE/POST switch offers the option of boosting the signal before it hits the preamp to add even more drive.

SpinDoctor 2
The SpinDoctor overdrive preamp returns in 2011 as a new version. The key features are there: four programmable channels, a set of tone controls, and motorized knobs. “The SpinDoctor 2 boasts and even warmer, tube-driven overdrive tone than its predecessor, leaving behind some of the more harsh treble tones, ” the company says. A new power regulator provides more internal power, which means more headroom and greater dynamics, they say. The SpinDoctor 2 is also a guitar preamp. You can plug it directly into a power amp, or use the speaker-simulation output to plug into a studio mixer or AD converter connected to your computer.
