I’ve been keeping an eye out at Amazon for some good deals… and it’s been rough. Not a lot going on after the Christmas sales I imagine. I did find a good deal on the Line 6 Uber Metal pedal at Amazon though. The Uber Metal lists for $179.99 and you usually see it available in the $100 range, but is currently on sale for only $91.83. You save a few bucks, and the Uber Metal does ship with FREE super saver shipping. I wasn’t able to find any ‘good’ demos of this pedal on youtube (I’ll spare you), but it seems the Uber Metal is similar to the MXR M116 Fullbore Metal pedal (which is also on sale for $91.73). Has built in noise gate and EQ adjustments to get that super scooped mid metal tone.

Here is the official description on the Line 6 Uber Metal:

So much gain, so little time. The high-gain model in the ToneCore pedal line, Uber Metal brings you massive amounts of gain in one tiny, tough package. You can chose from some of the best Line 6 high-gain tones including Metal, Pulverize, and Insane. Also included with the Uber Metal is a built-in selectable noise gate, and scoop control for massive tonal contouring.

Again, the Line 6 Uber Metal pedal is currently on sale for only $91.83 at Amazon.com

This morning I came across a nice deal on the Line 6 Space Chorus at Amazon. Apparently this pedal is no longer in production and isn’t commonly available any more.  When it was in production and available you would see it new for about $70.00 – $80.00. The Line 6 Space Chorus lists at $165.99, and is on sale for only $56.58 at Amazon and ships with FREE super saver shipping.

Here is the official description of the Line 6 Space Chorus:

The Line 6 ToneCore Space Chorus effects pedal has 3 killer models, all based on analog effects: Chorus, Tri, and Vibrato. Tweak your sound with adjustable speed, shape, and depth while controlling the rate with tap tempo. Stereo I/O.

ToneCore pedals consist of a ToneDock base–in stereo or mono–and interchangeable effects modules that snap in and out, allowing you to change effects without rearranging your pedalboard. The ToneDock is powered by a 9V battery or optional DC-1 adapter.

A few months back we did a demo of the T-Rex Twister II chorus /flanger and it’s a great sounding pedal. The Twister II was created to replace the original Twister – version 1 (correct me if that’s not the case). Everyone knows what to expect when it comes to T-Rex – quality in build and tone. I was excited today to see a great deal on the T-Rex Twister Chorus/Flanger at Amazon. This pedal lists for $399.00, and is usually available for $299, but is currently on sale for a crazy price of $120.16! That’s $278.84 off of list price! At the time of this post there were only 2 left in stock. This price might jump up when it gets down to 1, so it’ll be a race to pick up this deal, but wanted to post it regardless. This pedal also ships with FREE super saver shipping!.

Here is the official description of the T-Rex Twister Chorus/Flanger:

The Twister chorus and flanger effects pedal from T-Rex Engineering is for guitarists who seek a shimmering, rich, vibrant, swirling chorus/flanger tone.

A chorus effect brings your sound to life, adding a dynamic vibrancy to the sonic texture of any song you use it on. But a chorus and a flanger?

Although they sound quite different, these 2 classic effects are so closely related that a single pedal can produce them both. T-Rex deviates from the usual path with The Twister and builds 2 separate units inside a single stompbox. While the chorus adds sparkle and shine to your sound, the flanger puts a funky twist on both chords and single-note lines. Give The Twister a try and discover how this T-Rex pedal is the wild and weird effect you’ve been seeking.

The Twister pedal is packed with features that make sure you get chorus or flange your way. The Twister has a mono output for running through an amp on stage and stereo outputs for the studio or live stereo setups. In chorus mode, the light/heavy switch lets you quickly switch between 2 classic variants of the chorused sound, while the brilliant Tone control lets you take some of the top off for a more subtle effect.

Again, the T-Rex Twister Chorus/Flanger is on sale for only $120.16 at Amazon!

The Seymour Duncan SFX-06 Paranormal Bass EQ Direct Box is currently out of production, but there is a great deal going on at Amazon for this pedal. This pedal lists for $199, and is usually available for $139, but is currently on sale for only $49.99 at Amazon! At the time of this posting there were only four in stock, so if you’re thinking about picking this up, you’ll need to jump on it.

Here is the official description of the Seymour Duncan SFX-06 Paranormal Bass EQ Direct Box:

While passive DIs proved to be quite useful for recording bass or sending bass to a console for live performance, people began to notice a decrease in overall response and punch. That’s when active DI’s came to the rescue. But how many are tailored to the response of a bass guitar? The Seymour Duncan SFX-06 Paranormal Bass EQ DI is, featuring a three-band active EQ that’s optimized for bass along with a contour switch for slapping styles.

Seymour Duncan SFX-06 Paranormal Bass EQ DI, First Take:
Active DI with three-band EQ optimized for bass
Dedicated contour switch for slapping styles
Solid construction, balanced XLR out and ground lift

DI with active three-band EQ

The three-band EQ allows you to dial in your tone in any room, sculpting your lows, mids, and highs quickly and easily. So, along with performing the normal functions of a DI, you get the benefit of adding an active EQ to your bass without having to make any modifications to your instrument. The EQ provides ±12dB boost and cut for each band, which have center frequencies at 30Hz for deep lows, 650Hz to contour the mids, and 5.2kHz for presence, clarity and attack.

Proprietary Slap Contour switch for happy slapping

The SFX-6 also features Seymour Duncan’s proprietary Slap Contour switch, which applies an additional preset EQ curve. As the name implies, this is a dedicated switch for slapping styles, but it also adds an extra dimension to fingerstyle or pick playing. Slap Contour gives you a 6dB boost at 80Hz to bring out the bottom and cuts 6dB at 650Hz to reduce the mud that can occur in the low mids. The result is a solid low end and more room for attack. By using it with the 3-band EQ, you can bring out more attack information if needed, as well as extra bottom below 80Hz.
Solid construction and hum elimination

Built like a tank with a 16-guage steel chassis and powered by either a single 9V battery or a regulated DC power supply, the SFX-06 features a balanced XLR output with ground lift to eliminate electromagnetic interference and AC-hum. Between that and its active electronics you can drive longer cable runs to a feed a front-of-house mixing board or a recording console without noise or signal loss.

Again the Seymour Duncan SFX-06 Paranormal Bass EQ Direct Box is on sale for only $49.99!

Today I wanted to talk about the MXR Custom Badass Modified Overdrive. It’s not just another OD, but the folks at Dunlop/MXR added some nice features in there. Basically a *bump* switch and a 100hz cut/boost control which allows for some great tone shaping. The Bump switch adds a low and mid frequency output boost, while the 100hz filter really dials in the low end.

Here is the official description of the MXR Custom Badass Modified Overdrive:

Next up in the MXR Custom Badass line is the Modified Overdrive-a classic overdrive circuit with modern modifications for improved performance and versatility. For added flexibility, we’ve added a 100Hz cut and boost control that allows for a more focused EQ when cut, or a beefier tone when boosted. The Bump switch engages an alternate EQ voicing that boosts the lows and mids. Put it in front of the ’78 Custom Badass Distortion for a slew of amp-like gain structures that won’t mask your tone.

* Classic overdrive circuit modded for improved performance and versatility.
* 100HZ cut and boost control allows tonal fine-tuning.
* BUMP switch engages alternate voicing for a low and mid-range boost.

I also found a nice *bundle* deal on this pedal. You can pick up the MXR Custom Badass Modified Overdrive with 4 free cables (2 FREE Strukture 6″ Patch Cables and 2 FREE Strukture 18.6′ Instrument Cables). The MXR Custom Badass Modified Overdrive bundle is available for only $99 at Amazon.com

This morning I found another great deal! This time it’s for the Radial Tonebone Loopbone. In a nutshell it’s a true bypass effects loop (dual channel) with boost control. This can give you the ability to have a ‘lead’ effects loop with a hotter signal. The Radial Tonebone Loopbone lists for $350, and you usually see it in the $220 to $260 range, but is currently on sale for an excellent price of $104.49 at Amazon. This also includes FREE super saver shipping.  At the time of this post, there were only 3 in stock. I’m sure when it gets down to 1, the price will increase, so you’ll need to jump on it if you’re interested.

Here is the official description of the Radial Tonebone Loopbone:

The Radial Loopbone Dual Effects Loop is a powerful effects loop controller for pedal boards that allows the guitar player to insert 2 separate pedal effects chains and remove them when not in use. This is particularly advantageous when using older effects pedals that tend to add noise and cause loading problems in the signal chain. The Radial Loopbone incorporates a superb post-effects variable-gain power booster that allows straight signal boosting or post loop-1 or loop-2 boost for soloing.To ensure that the natural tone of the instrument is maintained, the Loopbone features Radial’s unique Drag Control pickup load correction circuit that allows the guitarist to properly match the impedance load of any pedal board configuration with any guitar for optimum performance. Furthermore, there are no signal degrading op-amps or chips in the signal path, only 100% discrete components and Radial’s highly acclaimed Class-A circuit for natural tone and exceptional dynamics.Besides FX-loop switching, load matching, and signal boost, the Loopbone brings even more to your pedal board: a separate “always-on” tuner-out circuit allows on-the-fly tuning without adding noise or load to your instrument signal and, perhaps the most innovative feature of all, Slingshot. Slingshot is Radial’s unique remote switching system that allows the Loopbone to simultaneously switch amplifier channels, other amp features, or even another Slingshot-equipped device.

Again, the Radial Tonebone Loopbone is on sale for only $104.49 at Amazon!

Today, I found another great deal on a Carl Martin pedal. This time it’s for the Carl Martin Boost Kick pedal. This pedal lists for $231 and is on sale for a scorching low price of $70.09. I’m not sure if this pedal is out of production, I do not see at Musician’s Friend. Either way, $70 for a booster of this caliber is not bad at all. The pedal also ships with FREE super saver shipping. At the time of this posting, there were 4 available. Normally, when the stock gets down to 1 (sometimes 2), the price will jump up, so if this sounds interesting, you best jump on it.

Here is the official description of the Carl Martin Boost Kick:

The Carl Martin Boost Kick is a 9V-battery-powered pedal designed to provide up to 12dB of boost to give that extra “kick” required for a great solo. The level control determines the boost level. The 3 band EQ section is comprised of Punch (bass), Attack (mid) and Edge (treble). This allows a virtually unlimited range of solo sounds without compromising sonic quality. Getting your solos to cut through the cacophony of the band can be a handful. With up to 12dB boost and the 3 band EQ at your feet, hitting the right sound at the right level is a breeze. The Carl Martin Boost Kick is true bypass and features an AC adapter jack.

Again, the Carl Martin Boost Kick is on sale for only $70.09 at Amazon.

I’ve posted this deal in the past. They do pop up every once and awhile, but wanted to point it out again in case any of you wanted a decent 808 style overdrive for a good price. This is for the BBE Green Screamer Vintage 808 Overdrive. It lists at $149.00, but you usually see it available in the $100 range. It’s currently on sale for only $67.32 and is available with FREE super saver shipping.  Not a bad price.

Here is the official description of the BBE Green Screamer:

The BBE Green Screamer effect pedal is a vintage overdrive capable of producing a dynamic range of smooth and warm overdrive tones associated with vintage tube amps. The overdrive pedal features rugged construction that can take a beating, thanks to its heavy-duty die-cast chassis. Fat knurled knobs let you dial in your ultimate tone with your toes. The status LED light lets you see the pedal is engaged even on a dimly lit stage. A non-skid pad on the bottom reduces movement, so you don’t have to chase your pedal across the floor. True hardwire bypass switching ensures it has no effect on your tone when its disengaged. The BBE overdrive pedal’s easy access battery compartment is included so you don’t expose your circuitry every time you need to change the battery.

The BBE Green Screamer pedal delivers a creamy, tube-like, dynamically responsive overdrive that won’t mask the tone of your guitar and amp. This pedal has three main controls: Gain, Tone, and Level, and a true hardware bypass switch, and can be powered by a 9V battery or AC adapter. Use a Green Screamer pedal as a stand-alone overdrive, adding overdrive to a single-channel amplifier. You can also use it as a solo booster also, not necessarily as a transparent solo booster, but a booster that has a midrange characteristic to boost solos or just to chunk up rhythms.

If you’re looking for a gift for yourself, band mate or friend, etc… There is a great deal on the TC Electronic Polytune Tuner currently happening on Amazon.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with the TC Electronic Polytune, it’s a tuner that allows you to quickly strum all your strings and it shows the out of tune string quickly and easily.  It will switch automatically to string mode once you start tuning an individual string. This is great on stage during a show. Hear something a little *off*, click this on, quick strum and you can if it’s you or the other guy.. heh.
