grand magus distortion
If you need more gain than
the Cinders can provide, but

Fangs territory, the Grand

and responsive distortion with
which to bang your head.
Like the Cinders, it features a
straightforward control set of
Level, Gain, and tone, so you
won’t be able to mess it up.
Paired with the Cinders, you’ll
have a fantastic one-two gain
stage punch that will get you
just about anywhere you want
to go.
prophet digital delay
Is it wisdom you seek?
Go to The Prophet. This
stripped down digital delay
offers over a full second of
delay time, allowing you to
dial in all kinds of rhythms,
especially when paired
with the subdivision switch.
Choose between sixteenths,
eighths, or the unique “three-

favorite eighties guitar hero
tones. There’s no tap tempo,
but considering the price
of entry is well under $100,
The Prophet has more than
enough features to justify
being in your collection.

money on one, making the
Rush Booster an ideal choice

for economical boost duties.
If you can’t figure out how
to use this pedal, quit guitar
and become a gardening
enthusiast.
