➍ LAVIELECTRO HANDMADE ELECTRONICS UNLEASHES THE REVERBEAR DIGITAL REVERB ➍ Brazil’s Lavielectro has released the ReverBear, a compact reverb unit with a surprising amount of versatility and refined algorithms. Three modes await you within the cave of the Bear, with Room, Hall and Plate filling out the selection. Decay, Blend and Depth knobs help shape the reverb to your liking, while a handy Volume knob helps match the pedal to your rig. ➎ PROVIDENCE LTD TURNS ON THE JETS WITH THE HEAT BLASTER ➎ Like the name implies, the Heat Blaster is geared towards more high-gain players, and is designed to work with either single-coil or humbucker-equipped axes. The Heat Blaster is engineered to resemble both the sound and feel of high-gain amplifiers, including all the touch sensitivity that goes along with it. A Bass Boost toggle switch cranks the low-end for chunky chord work. ➏ ROUGAROU BASS PEDALS GOES SUBMINIATURE WITH THE TUBE PREAMP ➏ Normally, tube-equipped pedals are bulky affairs, but not the Rougarou Tube Preamp. This warm preamp uses a subminiature triode to generate a true tube warmth in a small enclosure. Two knobs—Bite and Volume—combine to yield a surprising amount of versatility and touch-sensitivity.
