Sunn Amplification’s comeback continues apace with the US bass and guitar amp brand confirming that there’s another new take on a classic design on the way and it’ll take the shape of the rack-mounted Beta PL-20 preamp – a preamp unit that is for many players a repository of holy grail electric guitar tone. Among them is Buzz Osborne of the Melvins, who has long incorporated them and Beta Lead heads in his live and studio setups. The PL-20 comes hot on the heels of a slew of product announcements as the brand’s return was announced – and facilitated – Fender, who in partnership with Mission Engineering will be manufacturing new Sunn amplifiers and speakers in the USA, and promising options at various different price points. Thus far, Sunn has unveiled the 100S and 200S tube amp heads, Beta Lead and Beta Bass 100-watt amp heads and preamp heads, Concert Lead 1 and 2 full-range monitors with onboard amps, plus 1x12” and 2x12” speaker cabinets, all of which are scheduled for release by the end of 2023. spec: inputs: 3 x ¼”, channel A and B and both effect loops: 2, front and rear access outputs: ¼” master line out controls: drive, bass, middle, treble, reverb, level, master preamp type: Sunn “Digital CMOS technology” (Analog MOSFET design) amplifier type: class D Power Amp reverb type: spring frequency response: 85Hz -20KHz dimensions: 6 3/4” x 24 1/2” x 10 3/4” Weight: 12-28 lbs

Carver PM-1.5 Stereo Power Amp 450 watts The Carver PM-1.5 stands in a class by itself when compared with the standards of conventional commercial power amplifiers.

The Tetrax Organ follows a series of electronic instruments based on touch. It is a direct development of the Tetrazzi. By pressing the four wooden boards, sounds can be coaxed from the same number of oscillators. Each individual oscillator is equipped with a slider for fine tuning, which is embedded in the respective board. The instrument is equipped with two master pitch and two master chaos controls. The latter allow the sounds of the instrument, which are based on pure sawtooth waves, to turn into a nest of noise by amplifying the modulation from one oscillator to the next in a circular sequence. The reason for the two different controls being present in duplicate: The Tetrax is primarily about modulating the timbre by separately changing the rising and falling edges of triangular waves. There is therefore a control for the master pitch and master chaos, one for the rising and the falling part. Basically, the Tetrax is designed for funky bass and complex tonality, the Sidrax Organ for sweet melodies. Of course, both have noise available at all times!

Its 28 banana cable sockets are modulation points arranged in four columns - one for each wooden board. Their position is shifted diagonally so that the inputs are placed close to the outputs. This is to make it playable by touch: you can remove the metal pins from banana plugs, insert them into the sockets and touch them directly with your fingers to patch the instrument gesturally. Sockets with the cold colors blue, green and gray are inputs. Outputs are the warm colors: red and orange. The gray sockets are inputs for the rotary controls: the two left-hand sockets vary the master pitch, the right-hand ones the position of the master chaos controls. The color assignment of the individual wooden boards is as follows:

Two orange sockets output the pressing and releasing of the respective board.

A red socket outputs the pure triangular wave of the respective oscillator.

The two green sockets on each board are "glitch" inputs. These ensure that connections are made between the boundary conditions of one oscillator and the output of another. A type of modulation inspired by circuit bending techniques.

A blue socket is used to frequency modulate each individual oscillator.

On the back of the Tetrax Organ there is a minijack socket that outputs the audio signal in stereo: During a press-release cycle, each of the wooden boards outputs the corresponding audio signal on different channels. In addition to this audio output, the Tetrax Organ has a power switch, optionally built-in batteries or a clip for a 9-volt block.

The Audible Disease Infection IN-3 is a wild joystick controlled two oscillator synthesizer guaranteed to please any noise head! There's more to it than that, though. You can process the synth sound even further with the other knobs giving you a virtual cornucopia of noise making pleasure center. Twiddle the knobs and stick, please. Operates with a standard 9-volt DC barrel type power adapter sold separately.

The Homenoise Effects Black Lodge is a Reverb, Delay, Modulation Pedal A digital echo and reverb pedal that is designed to create dark and endless soundscapes This pedal is basically a self-feeding, double delay. It's easy to get straight forward dual repeats. There's no tap tempo. The two delay times are set with sliders. The Lo-Fi mode slows down one of the delay lines (up to 1 second, noisy delay).

More or Less is a hi-fi toneshaper and tuneable boost A tuneable boost is a low noise gain stage that pushes the front of an amplifier or pedal in multiple ways by not being limited to only amplifying a single frequency range. But the more or less is not just a boost circuit. Inside the pedal you’ll find a mode switch that opens up another range of sonic possibilities. It’s primarily a hi-fi toneshaper designed to affect frequencies just on the edge of and outside the guitar frequency range, making it possible to improve the tone of your guitar without ruining the instrument’s unique and characteristic sound. It can be used anywhere in the signal chain. At the beginning it can be a buffer but more importantly, it changes the way everything else responds to your instrument and makes your instrument shine right at the start of your setup. Connect it to the output of a fuzz or overdrive to get rid of harsh clipping noise or muddy low end tones. And at the end of the signal chain, it can be a line driver between your pedalboard and amplifier that adds the finishing touch to your sound while making sure you don’t have to worry about losing signal across long cables. All this shows what the more or less was designed to be. A pedal that makes it easy to get the best sound out of your guitar and that will be missed when it’s turned off. The mode switch inside the more or less can be used to select either mode A or mode B which alters the way you can use the more dial.

mode A: toneshaping mode more: -22dB to +22dB low frequencies less: -22dB to +22dB high frequencies

mode B: boost mode more: 0dB (unity) to +22dB full range less: -22dB to +22dB high frequencies

Blackskycraft Unusual EAS is an uber-tweakable, modulated ambient reverb with added filter and bitcrusher.

Made in NYC by a small builder without a website, the Unusual EAS is unusual indeed, providing a thick and lush reverb and several ways to make it sound from textural to cosmic to downright weird (FYI, “weird” is a good word, in our vocabulary). Here are some of the features: • 16 modulation waveforms in 2 banks of 8 • Tap subdivisions (via the “Multi” toggle) • an onboard bitcrusher with its controls for resolution and sample rate. • tap tempo for modulation rate, • a send/return effects loop to place other effects between the reverb and the bitcrusher.
