The LEFT SIDE borrows roots from the classic "breaker" style circuit, but branches out with some sweet new features like the unique transparency toggle and a high-headroom output stage.

The RIGHT SIDE is a high powered, hard clipping K-style drive that's reigned in with a carefully tuned two-band EQ.

Use the ORDER TOGGLE to flip-flop the two circuits and unlock the full potential of a dual overdrive unit.

The Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer and the Vemuram Jan Ray — one is the world’s most popular overdrive pedal, the other is one of the most coveted boutique stompboxes on the market. The limited-edition TSV808 aims to be the ultimate overdrive, retaining the Tube Screamer’s signature midrange bump, but infusing it with the Jan Ray’s full-range clarity and massive headroom. A comprehensive control set enables you to either emulate a standard Tube Screamer or bring the elusive overdriven tones running through your head to fruition. No-compromise components, including several of Vemuram’s, were used to ensure top-shelf sound. The TSV808 features a green-tinted brass body with the iconic TS808 shape.

Designed in conjunction with bluesman Joe Bonamassa, the Way Huge Smalls Overrated Special Overdrive delivers a range of bold, punchy grit. Jeorge Tripps took an old school Green Rhino OD, hot-rodded it for a more pronounced midrange, and added a Freq control so that you can punch up the low mids. Volume, Tone, and Drive controls round out a straightforward user interface so you can plug in and get right to it. Run the Overrated Special OD in front of a clean amp for a gritty boost, or slam an already distorted channel for an electrifying surge of gain and sustain worthy of Joe Bonamassa's searing leads. Now in a Way Huge Smalls housing, this little box of dirt will find an easy home on your pedalboard.

The Gritador is our version of the classic, the version that our resident genius in chief has tweaked to perfection. He dialed in the midrange to be more nuanced. You still get that classic midrange bump but without some of the inherent nasaliness that can sometimes plague this circuit. He altered the clipping to be slightly less symmetrical. He also tweaked the low end to give it more fullness while still maintaining a tight and punchy low end.

Why Gritador? Because it means “screamer” in Portuguese.

This is Dave's favorite version of his favorite overdrive.

"That Screamer 4558" packs into a single pedal three expensive and hard-to-find vintage versions of the world's most famous green overdrive

We have thoroughly examined the original circuitry of our three Original pedals:

TS808 from 1981 The TS9 from 1982 and the TS10 from 1986

from these we have faithfully reproduced the circuitry and capturing every nuance.

The result of this meticulous work has been incorporated into the THAT SCREAMER overdrive professional 4558.

All components have been selected. Inside there are tantalum capacitors for the tone part and we used the bipolar electrolytic capacitors in the buffer part.

The drive circuit consists of the original opamp JRC4558D (Japan Radio Company)

and clipping entrusted to the very rare MA150 diode made in Japan.

In addition to respecting the components, we have improved the dynamics and increased the volume over 5dB

In addition, the pedal is truebypass.

The Martin D-X2E Billy Strings brings all the charm of Billy’s signature D-28 to a supremely gig-friendly platform packed with performance-friendly features and top-class Martin E1 electronics. Just like Billy’s top-of-the-line D-28, this acoustic-electric guitar sports a non-standard 25-inch scale length for a slinkier feel and easier bends. Whether you’re dishing out Billy-style bluegrass licks or you’re strumming along to support the singer, the D-X2E’s solid spruce top, Brazilian-rosewood-patterned HPL rosewood back and sides, and scalloped bracing dish out all the low-end depth and unplugged projection that's made Martin’s big-bodied dreadnoughts among the most revered instruments on the planet. What’s more, the D-X2E Billy Strings’ select hardwood Modified Low Oval neck, 1.72-inch nut width, and slick satin finish ensure effortless navigation of the ebony fingerboard. You also get rock-solid nickel open-gear tuning machines, a traditional ebony bridge, and an eye-catching Style 28 rosette. Armed with a plethora of road-ready appointments, the Martin D-X2E Billy Strings is ready to rock the stage, the bluegrass circle, or the at-home acoustic jam session with equal aplomb and attitude.

Based upon Billy’s vintage 1940 D-28, the Martin D-28 Billy Strings acoustic guitar twists and tweaks Martin’s prewar formula with a performance-minded set of modern modifications. Few genres owe so much to a single instrument as bluegrass does to the mighty Martin D-28, so it’s no surprise that this guitar’s dynamic spruce top, full-bodied East Indian rosewood back and sides, and forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped bracing largely mirror traditional specs. So, what sets Billy’s D-28 apart? This exceptional acoustic clocks in with a reduced 25-inch scale length — nearly a half-inch shorter than a standard D-28! — thus slackening up the strings and offering a more comfortable platform for blazing bluegrass licks and expressive bends. Moreover, the genuine mahogany Modified Low Oval neck profile, 16-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and slimmed-down 1.72-inch nut width further enhance playability with a slim, speedy feel. A set of old-school Martin appointments rounds it all out, including high-class herringbone trim, diamond and square inlays, nickel enclosed-gear tuners, and an eye-catching Antique Toner finish. All in all, the D-28 Billy Strings brilliantly mirrors its inspiration with a potent blend of bluegrass heritage and boundary-pushing attitude.

For years steel guitarists have looked for a high powered, compact amp that could handle the tremendous dynamic range produced by the steel guitar. Our engineers and musicians have spent years researching this particular problem and have designed and produced the most advanced amplifier on the market for the steel guitar, the Peavey "Session 400" The Session 400 is a relatively small, highly portable unit that delivers 200 watts (RMS @ 1% THD) and can handle anything a steel can dish out without distortion or crack-ing. This new unit features controls for volume, presence, middle, middle shift, treble, bass, reverb, tremolo, and master sensitivity.

The master sensitivity control is a unique innovation which allows the player to "cut" or "boost" sensitivity as he desires. This allows the guitarist to cut out noise for a perfectly quiet performance during recording sessions. The middle shift control enables the guitarist to select the particular frequency range that he wants to cut in the midrange spectrum. This means that he can change and vary the total sound characteristics of the amplifier simply by turning a single control. The Session 400 is available with either one 15 inch J.B.L., two 12" heavy duty eminence, or two 12 inch Electro Voice speakers for personal tonal preferences.
