➍ JOE BONAMASSA PARTNERS WITH MXR TO RELEASE PELHAM BLUE FET DRIVER ➍ Limited to a run of 300 pieces and only available on Joe Bonamassa’s web store, the Pelham Blue FET Driver seeks to replicate an extremely sought-after tubebased overdrive pedal without all the quirks commonly associated with tubes. The FET Driver distills the sound of tubes into smaller, more manageable semiconductors and provides creamy singing distortion. ➎ YELLOWCAKE OFFERS UP YOUR MOM ➎ Yellowcake’s new fuzz is a hybrid silicongermanium piece that promises searing fuzz tones. Utilizing this hybrid design, Your Mom is capable of spitting some serious nastiness while still being easily controllable with a simple twist of the knobs. Your Mom also stacks exceptionally well with other pedals, because of its dynamic gain range. Given all this versatility, no band should be without Your Mom again. ➏ EARTHQUAKER DEVICES LAUNCHES THE BOWS ➏ EarthQuaker’s Bows combines an ultra-rare NOS Mullard OC139 black glass transistor with a slew of premium capacitors and carbon-composition resistors to provide the ultimate mojoladen preamp/boost pedal. With its roots in a treble booster, the Bows features a range switch that goes between Full and Treble modes to impart a little magic into your lead tone. ToneReport.com 9
