I was surprised when I fired up the CP-1X at the amount of clarity and definition it gave me. It really seemed to follow and adapt to everything I played.

What's On Tim Pierce's Session Pedalboard And How He Get's Sounds.

“The Slide Rig and Cali 76 are are both champions in the quest for clean sustain.

For several decades now, clean sustain has been the most sought after and elusive goal of guitar players. Distorted guitar, by its nature, compresses itself.
