➊ TONE GAUGE PEDALS
RELEASES THE TGO41
OVERDRIVE/FAT BOOSTER
➊
Korea’s Tone Gauge Pedals has given
us the Overdrive/Fat Booster, a very
full-sounding gain boost. The TGO41
is named such because it is equipped
with BAT41 diodes, a less-common part
that provides optimal compression and
clipping. The choice of diodes was not
incidental, as they were selected to
compliment the circuit.
➋ SONIC RESEARCH ROLLS OUT
THE MINI STOMPBOX STROBE
TUNER
Sonic Research’s award-winning Turbo
Tuner enters the micro-pedal realm.
The original Turbo Tuner was the first
compact strobe tuner pedal available
and the Mini is even smaller. The Mini
boasts ±0.02 cent accuracy as well as full
programmability for alternate tunings. The
tuning software is also improved to pick
up notes faster than previous models.

➌ ELEPHANT ELECTRONICS
UNVEILS THE ECHO BASE
Elephant Electronics brings us the Echo
Base, a straightforward delay that is
voiced to hearken back to the analog
days of yore. The unit tops out at 560
milliseconds of delay time, but due to
the voicing, this is more than enough.
Many players use analog delays for
slapback and many older pedals topped
out at 300ms, so the 560 is more than
generous for such a timeless sound.
