T-Rex, the Danish guitar effects pedal manufacturer, is introducing three new effects pedals at the 2011 NAMM Show. Here’s what they have to say about the new pedals: Reptile 2 Originally conceived to offer the killer delay tone and certain controls found on its ‘big brother’ Replica pedal at a more affordable price, the Reptile gets a facelift for 2011. It now features a convenient Tap Tempo function, allowing the user to quickly and easily get in sync in a live setting. The Reptile 2 also features an enhanced set of Flutter controls, providing great retro-sounding, tape-delay ‘warble’. Twister 2 We gave the Twister a face-lift based on user feed-back, and it has been completely updated with new hardware and software. The Light / Heavy switch has been removed and the Twister 2 covers a wider tonal range than the original Twister. The new software update does the trick – by adjusting Depth, Tone and Rate, you can make Twister II deliver both old-fashioned vintage sound as well as a more modern chorus sound. Tonebug SustainerThe Tonebug Sustainer joins this growing line of T-Rex pedals built with a simple philosophy in mind: to offer the classic T-Rex tone found in our higher-end pedals, with intuitive, uncomplicated controls, at a price that any guitarist can afford. The Tonebug Sustainer first compresses the signal, and then applies gain to keep your tone playing. The result is gorgeous, natural-sounding sustain for long-lasting power chords. Your tone is preserved, with no artificial colouring. Features Compression, Sustain, and Attack controls.
 Bixonic Expandora Bixonic recently released the Bixonic Expandora EXP-2000R, a reissue of the earlier EXP-2000. The Expandora has more going for it than a great name. It’s established a reputation as a great source for a variety of distorted sounds. It’s been used by Bush, Megadeth, ZZ Top, Bootsy Collins and other artists. The EXP-2000R retains the look of earlier versions, but improves on them by bringing to the front dip-switches that were previously inside the case. It also adds a switch to toggle between Bass and Guitar settings. As a result, the Expandora is like having eight distortion pedals combined into one. Construction/DesignThe Expandora is housed in a brushed aluminum housing. Some players may not like its “tuna can” design, but it’s a refreshing alternative to the standard pedal block. The case feels solid and substantial. The overall build quality appears to be very good. The Expandora runs off a battery or a 9V DC power supply (not included). To change batteries, you have to remove one screw on the back. Continue reading Bixonic Expandora Multi-Stage Distortion Pedal Review |
