			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I like what I have seen from ToneFreak, the Abunai 2 is particularly interesting but all of their stuff sounds great. Anyway, they recently launched their new website, it is still a little glitchy but sure to be packed full of information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.dirtbox.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wampler-Euphoria.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-5303" style="border-width: 2px; border-color: orange; border-style: solid;" title="Wampler Euphoria" src="http://www.dirtbox.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wampler-Euphoria.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="377" /></a>Wampler also announced this weekend that their much loved (including by the DB staff) Ecstasy Overdrive was going to be renamed as the Euphoria Overdrive. Check it out, same circuit but just with a different name, a fantastic OD that does pretty much everything.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&#8221;When Brian created the circuit that would eventually become the Euphoria, he was working on creating a pedal that would go from clean tones to distorted tones while adding a bit of warmth. He wanted something for himself that would be dynamic, have a great sounding “gritty” tone to it yet be able to respond to the volume knob like a tube amp. Everything about Brian is in the dynamics of sound and if a pedal can&#8217;t work with him dynamically, then he just can&#8217;t use it.</em></p>
<p><em>The Euphoria is his take on that elusive tone and feel made famous by Dumble Amplifiers &#8211; smooth creaminess yet crunchy when you need it to be, yet the tonality is much more transparent than other “dumble sounding&#8221; pedals. Very responsive tone controls that interact with the pedal &#8211; they don&#8217;t just “color” the sound. The controls actually affect the response and feel of the pedal, just like a great tube amp.</em></p>
<p><em>If you love the sound of your clean tone, and just wish you could have more “hair” on the note&#8230; a little bit of grit without any change in tonality, the Euphoria will do that with ease. PLUS it&#8217;s extremely flexible&#8230; with the toggle switch in the down position you&#8217;ll get a hint of fuzz along with the overdrive, it&#8217;s reminiscent of the tones that &#8220;Eric Johnson&#8221; may use. With the toggle in the up position the tonality is super smooth, creamy yet crunchy when you dig into the strings. </em></p>
<p><em>This is reminiscent to the famous “Dumble” tone, though it&#8217;s really much, much more than that. In the center position, the toggle will give you tons of crunch, or roll the gain back a bit and push the volume up and you have a superior clean boost with a 2 band EQ that&#8217;s extremely transparent, but variable so you can actually turn it into an awesome treble booster just by cranking up the treble and turning the bass down.&#8221;</em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Wampler have finally released the much awaited Tweed '57 pedal...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.dirtbox.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wampler-Tweed.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-5299" style="border-width: 2px; border-color: orange; border-style: solid;" title="Wampler Tweed" src="http://www.dirtbox.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wampler-Tweed.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="377" /></a>Wampler have finally released the much awaited Tweed &#8217;57 pedal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Initial impressions are good!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&#8221;Brian’s work on the Wampler Pedals Black ‘65 left him grinning. Finally, after months and months of work, he’d nailed it. A pedal that can conjure a whole realm of classic tones with a few turns of the EQ knobs; a pedal that works equally well as a dedicated overdrive inspired by great, vintage Fender® amps, or as a “preamp” or “tone shaper” that, when put at the end of your signal chain, just before your amp with the gain set low, can make any pedal before it sound and respond like you’re running it through whichever favorite amp of the time period you dial it in for. A genuinely passion-driven homage to some of history’s greatest amps! Yet that accomplishment couldn’t be the end. History, after all, goes farther back than 1965, and so does the story of great tone.</em></p>
<p><em>Brian Wampler is a confirmed tone fiend. He has to be, to make the kind of excellent sounding and great playing pedals Wampler Pedals is known for. He knew that his work on the Black ’65 would need to be followed up by another pedal to make the classic Fender® amplifier inspired Wampler Pedals family whole. When you go back in time, past the era that inspired the sound of the Black ‘65, you find yourself in the land of tweed, where raw, driven sounds offered guitarists new possibilities that they had never heard before, sounds that have found their way onto historic recordings. Creating a pedal that could do for the tweed amps of the mid to late 1950s what the Black ’65 does for its amps would not be an easy process, but Brian has never shied away from a challenge!</em></p>
<p><em>Enter the Tweed ‘57, a pedal inspired by historic Fender® amps and their magic tone, a pedal which offers a wide palette of sounds and includes several features that you’ve come to expect from Wampler Pedals as well as some surprises Brian’s cooked up just for this pedal! With a full three-band EQ voiced carefully to let you get a wide range of tones from your amp, the Tweed ‘57 is not limited to trying to achieve one particular sound. And thanks to the fantastic “Input Simulator” switch, you’ve got flexibility and control just as you’d expect on an amp from that period, with Normal, Bright, and Linked input options that cooperate with the EQ and gain adjustments to give you control that is easy to use and rewarding to play with. The pedal’s dynamic response is extraordinary, and the overdriven tone is amazing.</em></p>
<p><em>Play the Wampler Pedals Tweed ‘57 and you’ll understand exactly what inspired Brian to create this pedal, with a sound so characteristic and raw. Worked to perfection for his setup and yours, we bet after you experience this pedal’s historic rhythm and timeless, leaping-off-the-frets lead, you’ll be grinning, too. &#8221; </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">TZF is most likely short for Through-Zero Flanging, a special flanging technique that is quite difficult to achieve and there are only a handful of analogue stompboxes that actually offer it. This new design from Jack looks promising and sounds awesome in this, albeit short, teaser video.<br />
Stay tuned for more info soon!</p>
