NOW PLAY THIS POWERED BY EFFECTS DATABASE ➊ SERVUS! PEDALE GOES ALLIN ON THE ROOTS The Servus! Roots pedal gives you three popular effects in one box, along with the unique ability to route them in any way you want with an innovative patchbay on the rear of the pedal. The three effects are Overdrive, Tremolo and Reverb; each effect is no slouch in its respective type, offering tap tempo, several waveforms and time subdivisions as well as extensive EQ options. ➊ ➋ BOSS GOES MULTIBAND WITH THE CP-1X Boss has been in the compressor game since the ‘70s when it released the CP-1. Now, the CP-1X seeks to expand on this winning formula with a total overhaul of the platform. The CP-1X is a multiband compressor with an extensive control set. All controls are extremely widereaching and interactive, and Boss has included a handy gain reduction meter to keep you abreast of the squish. ➋ ➌ XVIVE SWEETENS THE DEAL WITH THE SWEET LEO Xvive’s Sweet Leo is designed as a microsolution to the conundrum of selecting a single drive pedal. No matter whether you play leads or rhythm, the Sweet Leo is adaptable to either. It’s modeled after the notion of class-A edge-of-breakup amp tones, and the Growl control does its part to push it over the edge if need be. It can even cop clean boost tones with the Drive knob rolled back. ➌ 8 NOW PLAY THIS // Buzzworthy Gear
