NOW PLAY THIS POWERED BY EFFECTS DATABASE ➊ ERNIE BALL STEPS ON IT WITH THE AMBIENT DELAY Ernie Ball has stepped up its game and the Ambient Delay is the result. The Ambient Delay is housed in a stunning copper enclosure and features Reverb, Feedback and Delay Time on its face, while the foot pedal controls the overall mix of the delay. The pedal features up to one full second of delay time for soundscapes that live up to its name, along with remote tap tempo control, a handy LED and a smaller size than the normal Ernie Ball volume pedals. ➊ ➋ VS AUDIO CHANNELS ITS INNER WOBBLE WITH THE VIBLER The new Vibler from VS Audio sets its sights on two very distinct modulation circuits that collectors and tone enthusiasts pine over. These two circuits are the Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe and Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone, arguably the two best in their respective fields. The Vibler features four fundamental controls, such as Mix, Rate and Depth, along with a Wet/Dry switch that changes the character of the pedal, without the inconsistencies of optocouplers. ➋ ➌ EZHI & AKA CHANGES THE DELAY GAME WITH MR. GLITCHY The Mr. Glitchy is an ultra lo-fi delay that has a propensity for mangling your signal in the best way possible. The delay is based on a very low-fidelity chip that is punished with extreme outboard processing that integrates some ambient radio noise in addition to its destructive textures. A momentary switch on the front of Mr. Glitchy sends it spiraling into chaos when you want it, only to subside upon release. ➌ 8 NOW PLAY THIS // Buzzworthy Gear
