Wow, it’s a winter wonderland here in Montana today. Concerned about my family traveling home after Thanksgiving, but when you live up here, you definitely know how to handle the roads. Anyways, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I thought I’d commemorate Black Friday by announcing a give away… a black pedal give away!

This give away will be for the very interesting Perfect Square Hyperslicer pedal. I personally love the give aways where it’s something a little different. Something unique. Here is a chance to have something on the board where the question will be… what is that pedal? We did a demo of the Perfect Square Hyperslicer a few weeks ago, and you can read/watch/hear this pedal here – “Perfect Square Electronics – Hyperslicer Demo”

Analog tone digital control
After a year of research and development, we’re excited to bring you, a genre-bridging effect.  Like the future of music, it is a unique blend of the old and the new.  An analog signal path with a digital control, the HYPERSLICER has the best of both worlds.

Here is the official product demo introduction of the Perfect Square Hyperslicer by owner/operator Ben Anderson (PERFECTSQELECTRONICS).

I want to take a moment and thank Ben Anderson for sponsoring this give away! Please check out Perfect Square Electronics for more information on the Hyperslicer!

I’m going to select one random entry on December 9th. I will email that random entry asking for the answer to the question listed below. They will have 24 hours to respond with the answer. If the 24 hours passes and I don’t hear from that finalist, I will select a new random entry and repeat the process until I receive confirmation from the winner.  This is open to everyone. Yes, that means international! Also, one entry per person.  Please read that last sentence again… “one” “entry” “per” “person”. And when I say ‘everyone’, I mean anyone older than 18 (sorry minors).

The submission form will be open until December 9th (Friday) 12PM MST. This means you should get this pedal before Christmas!

On top of that, I’m going to sweeten the deal. If you ‘LIKE’ EffectsBay on Facebook and you’re selected as the winner, I’ll throw in a extra prize – PRIZE 1 (x3) OR PRIZE 2 OR PRIZE 3 (x3). If you’re the winner (and like EffectsBay), you get to pick which one of the bonus prizes.

So, it’s pretty much a no-brainer to like Effectsbay on Facebook! Just click ‘like’ below or visit the EffectsBay Facebook page here.

So the question is…. “What piece of gear are you hoping to acquire in 2012?“

Well as you already know, I’ve been having a couple of cool give aways going on. For the last two weeks, the Walrus Audio Voyager Overdrive give away has been getting a ton of entries and action regarding this cool pedal. It’s a nice one.. and I’m glad it’ll find a happy home. Additionally, I was working with Jeremy at GearPipe.com on a short give away on the the Guitar Trustworthiness Poster. Well, I wanted to make the official announcements on the winner.

For the Walrus Audio Voyager Overdrive give away, the winner is Jesse M. of Browns Mills, New Jersey. Congrats Jesse! I’ve contacted Brady at Walrus Audio and he’ll be shipping that guy soon to you!

And for the Guitar Trustworthiness Poster, the random mailing list subscriber winner is John A. of Church Point, Louisiana! Congrats John. Enjoy the poster and thanks for being a EffectsBay.com subscriber!

Yesterday I received an email from John Gilbert of DeSoto, MO, who was the winner of the Flickinger Tone Boxes Angry Sparrow give away. I love getting emails from the give away winners that include a photo of themselves with their prize. He wrote a little note with the photo:

That is one Angry Sparrow that arrived in the mail today!  Thank you very much for your fascinating blog & giveaway. Thanks to Richard Flickinger for a fantastic pedal that doubles as a piece of art!

The Sparrow will have a permanent home on my pedalboard.

John, I’m glad you’re liking the Angry Sparrow. I had a strong feeling you would be digging that pedal. It’s a nice one.

I wanted to take a moment and again thank Richard of Flickinger Tone Boxes for sponsoring this give away. If you have a chance, please check out their website. They have great pedals… and at great prices.

Phew. Just got back from my trip visiting Central California. Some Gilroy.. little Santa Cruz and some Monterey. Awesome trip. But now, I need to get things caught up. A couple of weeks ago I had the Musiquip Free Shirt Wednesday post where they sent me a T-Rex t-shirt to wear. I didn’t wear it, since I already *modeled* that particular shirt in a past Free Shirt Wednesday post, but I thought it would be fun to give it away. So I made a special mailing list subscriber give away. I also included a limited edition EffectsBay.com tee as well. Everyone that was subscribed to the mailing list and I selected one random entry from that list.

The winner of that give away is Shawn M. from Ocala, Florida! He was kind enough to send me a photo with his prize. I want to send a special thank you for Musiquip for sending the shirt, please check out their site!

Yep, it’s that time again. Time for another pedal give away at EffectsBay.com! This time I have a brand new T-Rex Tonebug Fuzz to give away! This is another great pedal from T-Rex’s Tonebug series. The T-Rex Tonebug Fuzz normally sells for $99.00 (MSRP: $125), so this is a great pick-up for free.

I would like to send a special thank you to the folks at T-Rex Effects for sponsoring this give away. We did a review of the T-Rex Tonebug Fuzz and will be posting that shortly as well, so keep an eye out for that. For now,  here is the official description of the T-Rex Tonebug Fuzz:

Part of the acclaimed ToneBug Series, the T-Rex ToneBug Fuzz is a fuzz box done right, with exactly the controls you want and no unnecessary complications. You get a Fuzz control, a Level control, and then a great Tone control that lets you fine-tune the timbre of your fuzz to your exact taste. And after all, YOUR TASTE is what T-Rex pedals are all about!

Of all the effects that can really make an electric guitar solo really stand out, fuzz is clearly the king. Insanely dirty, but also soft and creamy, fuzz differs from distortion by being far more extreme – boosting the guitar’s signal until it clips so much, it turns from a sine wave into a square wave.

However you choose to describe it, fuzz can utterly transform the sound of your guitar and any song you use it on. And right from Dave Davies’ proto-grunge on “You Really Got Me” and Keith Richards’ hellacious dirt on “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, fuzz has helped shape the sonic world of rock ‘n’ roll.

Part of the T-Rex Tonebug series
Fuzz is part of the T-Rex Tonebug series, a growing line of pedals that combines the classic T-Rex tone found in our high-end pedals with intuitive, uncomplicated controls – all at a price that any guitarist can afford.

I’m going to select one random entry on September 26th. I will email that random entry asking for the answer to the question listed below. They will have 24 hours to respond with the answer.

GIVE AWAY IS CLOSED

I know I said I was going to announce a give away yesterday. I lied. Today is the day. The guys at T-Rex sent over a few pedals to be demo’d, and I thought it would be great to give them away. T-Rex is an amazing company making some very popular pedals. Their Tonebug line is a more compact pedal footprint, and is meant to keep costs down for the musicians while not compromising on tone, etc.

For this give away, it’s the T-Rex Booster. The booster is a simple signal booster, but with a mid control, which is nice. Basically, the pedal has two controls – Boost and Scoop. Boost is your level control, and the Scoop is your mid control. The idea of the booster is to increase your input signal to the preamp of your amp or it can be used raise the signal to your pedals. I’ll be posting a demo and high quality MP3 clip in the next few days.

So how do you enter to win the T-Rex Tonebug Booster?  I’m going to select one random entry. I will email that random entry asking for the answer to the question listed below. They will have 24 hours to respond with the answer. If the 24 hours passes, I will select a new random entry and repeat the process until I receive confirmation from the winner.  This is open to everyone. Yes, that means international! Also, one entry per person. Please read that last sentence again… “one” “entry” “per” “person”.

The submission form will be open until August 12th (Friday) 12PM MST.

First, this is not a requirement, but you should ‘like’ EffectsBay on Facebook. It’s good way to keep in touch with new give aways and posts. Also, please consider joining the official EffectsBay.com mailing list.

So the question is…. “If money was no object, what NEW pedal would you want to buy?“
