For over 65 years the Gretsch® Jet™ has fueled stages and studios producing some of the greatest sounds in rock 'n' roll history. The all-new G6128T Players Edition Jet™ DS with Bigsby® is the culmination of over half a century of tonal and performance magic.

Chambered Mahogany Bodies — Fat, Full and Acoustically Rich The Jet DS begins with a select mahogany body with maple top that produces the signature strong, punchy response that has made the Jet famous. For the Players Edition Jet DS, we chose a 1.85" depth along with vintage chambering to deliver a tighter, more controlled attack that still retains incredible articulation.

DynaSonic™ Pickups – Classic Power and Definition DynaSonic™ bridge and neck pickups complement the Jet DS's chambered body to produce amplified bright, shimmering highs and a defined, rich bass for distinct tone that cuts through the mix.

Players Edition Comfort, Control & Performance Responding to player needs for increased comfort, the Jet DS features a lowered neck set that greatly improves fret-hand mobility while also giving the picking hand a closer approach, increasing comfort and accuracy.

Our new full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel allows the free access to upper frets without awkward pivoting or palm obstruction. This sleek design remains hidden, preserving a vintage aesthetic – a critical feature that is meant to be felt, not seen.

The Jet DS comes equipped with additional Players Edition features that give you total control of your tone and performance, including no-load master tone pot with Squeezebox™ paper-in-oil capacitor, master volume with treble bleed circuit and individual pickup volume controls.

Road-tested in arenas around the world, the Wolfgang® Special is a purebred music-making machine, designed with stunning style, giant sound and high-speed playability. The all-new Limited Edition Wolfgang Special features a sassafras body with an arched top. A softer tonewood, sassafras is sonically similar to mahogany and walnut with shimmery highs, creamy mids and lows and excellent note articulation.

This instrument’s robust graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen’s exacting specifications and features a velvety hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish for smooth playability. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12”-16” compound radius baked maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays. Truss rod adjustments have also never been easier thanks to a spoke wheel conveniently located at the base of the neck.

A pair of flagship custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, providing dynamic yet articulate voicing, as well as endless sustain for powerful chords and melody lines. A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and Floyd Rose R2 locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger. This fine axe also has a three-way toggle switch, volume control with 500K EVH Bourns® low friction pot and treble bleed circuit for smooth swells and a tone control with 250K EVH Bourns high friction pot to prevent accidental tone shifting.

Spotlight-ready, this Limited Edition Wolfgang Special Sassafras is available in a stately Satin Black finish with cream binding, natural headstock and black hardware.

A crossbreed between the LBXI and the LBXII, the seductively dark stealth LBX-S blends the Green “clean” channel with the Red “full burn” channel for a sonically diverse soundscape — from pristine cleans that soar to that sizzling modern Brit sound with high-gain attitude.

Armed with four JJ ECC83S (12AX7) preamp tubes and two JJ EL84 power tubes, this easy-to-carry lunchbox head also includes dual-concentric gain and volume controls for precise and independent control of each channel, as well as shared EQ presence and resonance controls.

Dial in a crystal clean tone or turn the gain up for a bluesier counterpart on the Green channel, and hit the one-button footswitch to select the Red channel for a no-nonsense, scorching overdriven tone that sets leads ablaze with sustain for days.

Bedroom players can utilize the 1/4-power switch to reduce the head to 3.5 watts and avoid disturbing the rest of the household, while studio and live musicians can leverage this same feature to turn up the head for a squeezed and spongy tone. This amp is also equipped with dual parallel speaker output jacks, effects loop and one-button footswitch.

Boasting exceptional construction, fierce tone and distinctive style, the wildly fun LBX-S Head features a black front panel and black metal grill cage with the Stealth EVH-striped motif. Unique to the LBX-S, this head also has internal LED backlighting that illuminates the cage in either green or red to match the selected channel. And just like all Stealth models, the LBX-S has been modded to include an adjustable bias control port.

The EVH 5150 III amplifier is one of the most popular amps at Sweetwater. That's why we're excited about the EVH 5150 III LBX 15-watt electric guitar amplifier head. This minute monster gives you the same Crunch and Full Burn channels as its bigger brothers. And you can even simulate Ed's variac trick with the power switch, taking the amp down to 3-3/4 watts. Compared with some amps trying to be all things to all people, the EVH 5150 III LBX's hard-rocking sound is a blast of fresh air.

A few months back, there was a startling discovery in the hills of Oklahoma, a Keeley Caverns Delay in a strange gold colorway. Today, out of a magic cauldron, a new gold release has emerged, even stranger than the first: a combined Fathom & Slö from Walrus Audio.

The inspired mashup of a pedal includes the Fathom Multi-Function Reverb with Hall, Plate, Lo-Fi and Sonar (Octave) settings, modulation, momentary bypass and momentary sustain on its right-hand side. The left contains the Slö Multi-Texture Reverb with Dark, Rise, and Dream ambient reverb modes.

Fitted with a two-way truss rod system to keep your neck stable and make adjustments easy via the thumbwheel at the bottom of the neck. If you do not see what you are looking for, please get in touch. (Timbers quoted are subject to availability, from this we may occasionally have to offer alternatives).

The NDH 20 uses newly designed drivers (38 mm/1.5”) with high-gauss neodymium magnets to ensure high sensitivity and minimized distortion, thus allowing the user to listen to the pure audio signal without unwanted coloration. The mechanical construction, too, meets the highest standards. The adjustable headband is made of flexible steel while the ear cup covers are machined from lightweight aluminum. For easy transportation the headphone is foldable and can be placed into the supplied soft cloth bag. Two detachable cables (one straight, one coiled) and a 6.3 mm (1/4”) adapter are also included.

We've all experienced digital pre effects pedals that belong on the Wall of Shame -, especially Overdrive. Modelers of this kind used the linear algorithm which doesn't provide negative-feedback for dynamic playability. Enter the NUX MG-300, the modeler that will totally blow your mind! The pre-effect block beautifully recreates the awesome signature sound of real analog overdrive/distortion pedals

In 2010 NUX introduced TSAC (True Simulation of Analog Circuit) with the sole intention of bringing Amp Modeling to a whole new level. The DSP industry has been evolving at breakneck speed, and keeping up can be a challenge. Nux was impressed that a product like the Fractal® AX-FX had the foresight to use a high-definition TSAC (white-box) algorithm to do its Amp Modeling. So we took note and started development on an affordable modeler with TSAC-HD.

When you tweak the knob, it affects itself as well as other parameters. For a linear digital system, the parameter is independent. The white-box algorithm offers real negative-feedback, increment-by-increment. NUX TSAC-HD replicates the same playability most guitarists prefer in a real tube amplifier.

Building a sky-high priced product is easy. The art of building an affordable product is a real challenge.

Ascent is a pure clean boost pedal, offering a huge 20dB of gain with near-zero tonal colouration across the whole frequency range. This is of course coupled with Peter Hamstead’s usual design refinements including ±15v internally isolated power for super high 30v headroom and a VCA-based design for an incredibly linear and transparent boost.

The guitar features a neck-through construction, with the body sporting some modern bevels, including on the angular lower horn and the top shoulder. In terms of electronics, the guitar comes with two humbuckers, a master volume and master tone by default, but this arrangement, like many of its features, is customisable.

Hi-gain amp heads are perfect for getting deep and heavy guitar sounds, with lots of bottom end and powerful saturation. The only problem with the real ones is the risk of blowing up cabinets, blowing out eardrums, and pulverizing your neighbors' walls.

Fortunately, Brainworx provides these savagely satisfying tones in the box with the bx_rockergain100 plugin. It digitally recreates every nuance of the coveted Orange Rockerverb, a truly straightforward 2-channel valve-driven powerhouse, based on BX's proprietary modeling technology.

The bx_rockergain100 gives you instant access to over sixty years of amp design from one of the best amp brands in rock history.

The Cntl Knob is an affordable, compact, easy-to-use pedal that delivers static remote control for devices with expression control jacks. It lets you set two preset values that represent two positions of a traditional expression pedal and toggle between them with its footswitch.

The pedal’s EXP 1 Knob selects the first expression setting and the EXP 2 Knob the second. On both, fully CCW corresponds to the heel position while fully CW to the toe position. LEDs indicate which knob is active and can be powered by your pedalboard’s power supply or an optional EHX’s 9.6DC200mA PSU.

To maximize the Cntl Knob’s compatibility with other products it’s equipped with a TRS+/- Button that lets you match its expression polarity with the device being controlled. For extra convenience it comes equipped with a 6 foot TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cable.

If you think you have Flangers all figured out and placed neatly in your little square genre-defined box, then get ready to have your world turned upside down by the OBLIVION QUAD FLANGER. An otherworldly vast sonic sea awaits you with this device, as every turn of a knob and flick of a switch unlocks mind-melting tones. From epically lush modulated movements to intense regenerating alien airwaves, lo-fi bit-crushed textural landscapes and much more, Oblivion is not here to capture a snapshot of the past, it’s here to open portals to the future!

With the OBLIVION, you have the traditional Speed, Range and Regen controls, but where this pedal really shines is in the three distinct Flange modes available.

We start with a classic Flanger and throw in Thru-Zero capabilities to pull you in and out of space. To push things a little bit further, we then came up with the Bi-Flange mode - offsetting a pair of modulating delay lines for even more sweeping movement.

That sounded great, so we said “Let's do it! Carpe diem! You only live once… how about four delay lines?”. BOOM! The quad-flange mode adds those four (yes four!) independent delay lines for massive swooshing tsunamis of ominous textures.

To make things even more interesting, each of these three Flangers have their respective Degrade modes, introducing a lo-fi element unique to this pedal that grants you access to eyebrow raising textures, reminiscent of ring mods or robotic overtones.

Once all of that was accomplished we set out to cram in tons of flexibility for even more fine tuning. A Blend control helps to adjust your wet and dry mix for light and polite Chorus sounds or for a full-on swirling whirlpool of Flange. Expression and CV capabilities, with internal Dip Switches, add even more variation and control. Not to mention the multi-function foot switch capabilities for Tap Tempo, Speed Ramping and LFO Braking.

With top-mounted jacks and soft touch, relay True Bypass switching, this pedal truly has it all. So, what are you waiting for? Jump on into the sea of the OBLIVION, where growing layers of waves filled with the push and pull of the tide are waiting to wash over you.

We’ve paired the PA1 body shape with Retroblast pickups! The PA1’s classically vintage shape -- paired with the Uni-Brace system to keep the uncontrollable feedback at a minimum -- is the perfect complement to the Retroblast pickups. Both the guitar and the pickups are vintage inspired, but both have subtle modern tweaks that make the PA1 RB eminently playable.

Signature hollowbody sound with custom pickups and less feedback.

Reverend has teamed up with country/roots-rock guitar legend and Grammy-winning artist/producer Pete Anderson to design this customized hollowbody. Pete wanted a classic hollow sound and look, but with the ability to play at higher volumes without uncontrollable feedback. So Reverend developed the innovative Uni-Brace, that not only addresses feedback, but also enhances sustain, durability, and clarity. Unique features include: bushing mounted bridge, R embossed knobs, back sprayed/logoed pickguard, and 15th fret neck/body joint for better high fret access.

Custom pickups
Reverend design their own proprietary custom pickups to achieve the best tonal match with their instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically designed for each position for balanced volume and tone when switching.

Uni-Brace
This korina brace is full body depth, connecting the top and back. It reduces uncontrollable feedback, improves sustain and clarity, while maintaining full hollowbody tone. It also increases long term structural integrity by preventing the neck block from rotating forward from string tension.

Dual-action truss rod
This dual-action truss rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects of long-term aging. It's also located at the headstock for easy access.

Graphite nut
Reverend use a graphite impregnated nut on all their instruments. Graphite reduces friction, allowing the strings to easily slide through the nut slots, improving tuning stability.

Bass contour
This passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. Variable pickup voicing at your fingertips.

Pin-lock tuners
A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post, locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and super-fast string changes.

In 2007, the Stooges reunion juggernaut was in full swing, and Ron Asheton was playing a Reverend Jetstream 390 in Rock Orange. In 2008, all of The Stooges gear was stolen along with their truck, in Montreal. The Jetstream disappeared. This summer, we decided to dedicate the Reverend Jetstream 390 in Asheton’s beloved Rock Orange to him as the Reverend Ron Asheton Signature Jetstream 390. We added the trio of lightning bolts – a decal that Asheton was fond of – to the upper horn. The Ron Asheton Jetstream 390 – fat, raw, and bluesy tones with punk attitude.
