Save with the TC Electronic Dark Matter Bundle

Save with the TC Electronic Dark Matter BundleWhen I look for pedal deals, the first criteria is obviously price. If it’s a good price… it’s a good deal. But sometimes I look at the bang-for-the-buck option as well. Sometimes you’ll see really nice deals with bundles. Basically, I like to see price on the pedal bundle to match the pedal cost alone at other stores. With a bundle you’ll get free items with the pedals. Usually cables, etc. Well, I found one, and this time it’s the TC Electronic Dark Matter pedal bundle.

In this bundle you will get the TC Electronic Dark Matter Distortion, 2 10′ instrument cables, 2 patch cables and pick card for only $129.00 at Amazon. Normally, you find the pedal alone for $129.00, so you can think of it as free cables and pick card. This also ships free with super saver shipping.

So here is the official description of the TC Electronic Dark Matter Distortion pedal:

The TC Electronic Dark Matter Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal aims to give you that powerful, super-musical roar of an early Plexi – a sound that will satisfy even the pickiest players out there.

From cleans with an attitude and warm bluesy tones to a crunch with grit for days and fully saturated lead sounds full of harmonics and overtones, it’s all here and instantly available by riding your guitar’s volume knob. Dark Matter distortion is built from the highest-grade components, features an easy-access battery hatch and has a conveniently small footprint.

Dark Matter Distortion defines instant gratification and will become the go-to pedal on your board for distortion. Initially, you simply plug it in and start rocking, but its many great sounds will have you playing with it for years to come. From bluesy crunch to full-on vintage cranked, but always very musical distortion sounds, this pedal was designed for the guitarists that like things a bit (or very) dirty. Featuring an all-analog circuit, dual-band tone controls, level and drive knobs and a voicing switch to tweak the bass response, you are set from creamy leads over riff-heavy stadium rock to modern, angst-ridden grunge.

By ramping up the voltage to more than 3-4 times the amount of your typical drive pedals, a dramatic increase is achieved in terms of headroom and dynamics. There is plenty of gain to suit any kind of musical style, but the sound always stays very open and clear and it will never get muddy or cover up your playing.

Instead, Dark Matter Distortion has a very open character, no matter if you use it as a slight ‘AC/DC-ish’ crunch or as a full-blown, fire-breathing dragon, this pedal will always let your playing shine through. All Dark Matter Distortion will do to your sound is add degrees of distortion and leave your precious tone alone.

Here is a video by tcelectronic talking about the Dark Matter Distortion:

Great price on the Seymour Duncan SFX-02 Tweak Fuzz

Great price on the Seymour Duncan SFX-02 Tweak FuzzThis is an interesting deal. It’s for the Seymour Duncan SFX-02 Tweak Fuzz. This pedal lists for $149.00, and I’ve always seen it available for $99.95 everywhere, but recently the price has been slashed to $39.99 at Amazon. com. I’m not sure if the pedal has been discontinued or not, if you know, please let me know by commenting below. This is definitely a great fuzz for that price.

Here is the official description of the Seymour Duncan SFX-02 Tweak Fuzz:

The Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz? is a most unique fuzz pedal that incorporates a six position “Tweak” switch to voice your fuzz tone the way that you want it. The basic tone will be familiar to players who remember the rich, lush, vintage fuzz tones used at the big ’60s pop festivals. But with the addition of the Tweak switch, you can create a myriad of totally unique fuzz tones making this one of the most versatile pedals for electric guitar and bass.   Tweak Control Engages one of six pre-set EQ resonances that give an overall “flavor” to the Tweak Fuzz, rolling off the bottom end and influencing the behavior of the gain control. Each of the six frequencies was chosen and voiced to enhance rich harmonies and bring out the most flattering qualities of your guitar or bass.   Gain Control Controls the amount of square wave clipping distortion. It can go from mildly distorted to all-out fuzz fury.   Volume Control Sets the overall volume to the optimum level. Whether you want to set it to match the bypassed signal or whether you want a big boost when you engage your Tweak Fuzz?: it’s your decision.   True Bypass Removes the circuit from your guitar’s signal chain, allowing your guitar’s signal pass through the Tweak Fuzz? without affecting your tone or gain.   Versatile The Tweak feature allows you to voice the box to your tone preference. Works with guitar or bass.

I also found this video by willievega demonstrating the fuzz:

Again, you can pick up the Seymour Duncan SFX-02 Tweak Fuzz for only $39.99 at Amazon.com. That’s a great price!

MXR Noise Clamp

MXR M195 Noise ClampToday I was bouncing around YouTube, and came across a cool video on the MXR Noise Clamp. This is a great pedal to manage noisy pedals or high gain pedals that cause squeal when you’re not playing. Basically, it’s a noise gate effects loop. I’m liking this idea.

Here is the official description of the MXR Noise Clamp:

Love to crank up those pedals? Love to crank up multiple pedals? Then you know how critical this pedal is in your chain. The MXR Noise Clamp pedal puts the kibosh on hiss and noise from your signal chain. It includes its own effects loop, which effectively lets you kill noise across your entire signal chain. A single Trigger knob lets you set the threshold at which the Noise Clamp activates, and a green LED lets you know when the gate is active. Sounding great is about more than great tone; use the Noise Clamp and keep your rig sounding great between the notes too.

Below is the video by jimdunlopusa on the MXR Noise Clamp:

Right now at Amazon.com there is a great deal on the MXR Noise Clamp. The MXR Noise Clamp is available for $79.99, but this is a bundle deal which comes with two free Strukture 6″ patch cables!

Developed from the ground up using carefully selected components, the Distortion III pedal delivers everything from sweet singing overdrive to massive distortion crunch!

Like all MXR pedals, the Distortion III features a heavy-duty casing, switch and jacks for a lifetime of use.

The initials MXR are synonymous with the effects pedal innovations that have shaped the tone of modern electric guitar. Since the 1970′s, MXR has produced some of the best stomp boxes available; now comes the inspired MXR Distortion III. Starting with its proprietary circuit design that delivers rich harmonic content, the D-III carries on the MXR tradition of tough, rugged and tonally tasty stomp boxes. With its die cast chassis, robust stomp switch and carefully selected components the D-III guitar effects pedal is truly a modern day classic.
