➊ GREER AMPS ENTERS THE
HIVE WITH THE SUPER HORNET
Based off a Foxx Tone Machine straight
out of founder Nick Greer’s personal
pedal collection, the Super Hornet gives
players a searing octave-up fuzz that’s
been used on several classic rock records.
An octave toggle has two modes: On and
Stinger. In Stinger mode, the octave effect
is routed to the momentary footswitch, for
user-controllable staccato blasts of upper
octave goodness.

➋ KEELEY GOES BACK TO BASICS
WITH THE HOOKE REVERB
Robert Keeley has tackled all kinds of pedals, but
one glaring omission in his collection is a dripping
wet spring reverb. Well, reverb connoisseurs,
fear no more. The Hooke Reverb promises to
deliver all the surfy goodness of a classic Blackface
amplifier along with some other tricks in typical
Keeley fashion. A Trem Verb mode adds some
movement to the ‘verb just like a real Fender amp,
while Fugue mode gives an organ-style verb that,
as far as we know, doesn’t yet exist elsewhere.

➌ PAL DELIVERS THE JCM 800
EMULATOR
PAL’s JCM 800 emulator makes no bones about
its inspiration, and with a name like this, you had
better expect some backup. Well, the Emulator
delivers in spades. Featuring the same control
panel as a real JCM800 amplifier, including volume,
gain, presence and a three-band EQ, the Emulator
strives for just one thing: complete Marshall
emulation at a fraction of the price of an original.
The guts of the Emulator aren’t some soundalike, it
is literally a JCM800 preamp in a box.
