position to get some real push. The Distortion channel is warm, articulate and full. The real magic happens when you stack the OD and Distortion channels together and add in the booster. The Chass Bliss Brothers AM – Twins of Tone pedal sells for $ 399 and I think it will probably become a collector’ s item like the King of Tone pedals. There are three different pedals built into this one device with an infinite number of adjustments with all of the added switches, expression pedal input and MIDI out. This is an amazing collaboration pedal that will deliver more tonal variations with the more time you devote to it. And it includes a cool image filled manual and a sticker. www. chasebliss. com
has a multilayer pop filter built-in and can accommodate high-SPL levels making her ideal for vocals and acoustic instruments. Other applications include micing guitar cabinets, drums and even horns. Plugged in Wanda has crisp clarity without being brittle or too tinny sounding. I think she would also make a great harmonica microphone. Wanda is constructed in a Oregon workshop and designed for live music applications and studio usage. She is priced at $ 525 and includes a nifty metal toolbox to protect your investment on the road or when not recording. Ear Trumpet Labs consistently delivers quality and stellar sounding microphones that I recommend to other musicians, and as an added benefit they look great in videos too! www. eartrumpetlabs. com
Donner Acoustic Guitar Loop Preamp
Imagine one pedal for Acoustic Guitar that contains 6 IR body simulations, 8 effects modulations, a built-in tuner and can record 8-minutes of loop time with multiple dubs. Donner’ s new APL Multi Effects pedal, soon to be released, is jam packed with features for live performances and recording. The pedal configuration is straightforward with three-foot stomp buttons, a knob for effects selection, and IR body simulations at the top next to the volume control. Control of the effects which include Chorus, Tremolo, Phase, Overdrive, Echo, Hall Reverb, Plate Reverb and Delay & Reverb are at the upper right. The LED screen in the middle of the APL Multi Effects pedal informs you of the effects that are engaged, volume level and when you are recording with the looper. The back of the Donner acoustic pedal has standard ¼” input and output, plus aux input, headphones output, XLR output, USB-C output, headphone level and a ground lift switch. The built-in auto notch( anti feedback) feature is nice for live applications also. I found it easy to dial in the effects I was looking for and the Chorus and Reverb were my favorites. The looper was easy to record with, but I need more practice to achieve the dub function. The foot switches can also be utilized to bank up and down for the different effects. At $ 269.99 the Donner APL Multi Effects pedal is packed with usable features for live, recording and practice sessions. Other than adding a boost or volume pedal the APL should accomplish everything you need acoustically in one easy to pack pedal! www. us. donnermusic. com
Wanda Microphone by Ear Trumpet Labs Hand crafted microphones sound like a thing of the past but Ear Trumpet Labs has carved out a unique niche by creating microphones that are visually stunning and fabulous at sound reproduction. Their latest microphone that arrived for review is the Wanda( each mic is given a different feminine name). Like other ETL microphones Wanda features a caste all brass constructed body with a brass mesh screen. She has a built-in pivot mount so that you can position the microphone for best response. Wanda is loaded with a medium-large 26mm diaphragm condenser capsule with a cardioid pattern. She does require phantom power but can work well with + 24V to + 48V. Wanda
