The Boonar Tube Deluxe™ is a studio-grade echo machine professionally developed to replicate the iconic Binson® Echorec® 2 model T7E, famous for its magical four-tap tube magnetic echo, originally manufactured in Italy during the 1960s. Building upon the legacy of its predecessor, the original Boonar™, this deluxe version represents a leap forward in vintage echo emulation technology.

We completely updated a DSP virtual magnetic drum concept and enhanced it with a dual-triode vacuum tube in the signal path and an EM81 Magic Eye tube level indicator, all powered by high plate voltage. Incorporating digital management over each analog parameter of the unit, the Boonar Tube Deluxe now offers effortless adjustment via intuitive onboard controls and a graphical user interface screen. With the addition of presets, an external tap tempo input, remote switching and expression pedal compatibility, along with full MIDI integration, customization is a breeze. Furthermore, we added a balanced and transformer-isolated DI wet output for the seamless integration with studio mixing desks and external recording equipment.

Boonar Tube Deluxe is handmade with premium components that ensure professional sound quality and long-lasting durability. It is aimed primarily at pro touring musicians and studios, and it works equally well with all instruments, including vocals. This device will be a limited run due to scarce NOS parts and will be available in batches.

The Groovy Wizard Fuzz Driver is for all you wizards of guitar that have been searching for the most dynamic, touch-sensitive fuzz to drive your amp whether it is set clean or overdriven. Groovy Wizard’s open and transparent response lets the character of your guitar and amp shine through while accentuating every playing nuance. The wide ranging controls go from boost to amp-like touch-sensitive overdrive all the way to raging fuzz! And it was specifically designed to extend the range of your guitar's volume control - from amazing cleans, to tight overdrive, all the way to raging fuzz - all by merely turning your guitar's volume control and varying your picking attack.

Adapted and extended from a classic ’60’s two-transistor console preamp circuit originally associated with Jimi Hendrix, the Groovy Wizard is not a mere clone, nor is it a fuzz face. The circuit was modified and voiced from the ground up to achieve the perfect sound + response. Utilizing a combination of a PNP germanium transistor coupled with an NPN silicon transistor running at up to 18 volts, the Groovy Wizard has a greatly increased range of gain from clean to fuzz, more tonal control, bigger soundstage and punch, and more transparency to create the perfect fuzz driver for any musical style or rig.

This is your always on dirt pedal!

Tremdriver is a high headroom preamp that makes any rig sound bigger and better combined with a foot-switchable harmonic tremolo that gives you amazingly lush and swirly pulses. Designed to run towards the end of your pedal chain, the Drive and Output controls puts you in clean boost heaven. Then switch on the harmonic tremolo mode, adjust the Speed from a slow pulse to a quick quiver, and prepare to be mesmerized for hours!

Tremdriver combines three EP-3 style JFET preamps running at 24 volts with specially voiced Univibe LFO circuits to create its unique magic. Its novel combination of vintage all-discrete circuit blocks was conjured to create a new pedal that sounds and feels like the classic '70s big wall-powered unit that never was. Don't worry though, it comes in a pedalboard-friendly custom enclosure and runs off of a standard 9-volt power supply so you can get that huge vintage sound without having to have a huge vintage unit on top of your amp.

It’s like a mastering plug-in for your pedalboard!

The American Standard Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar is the latest evolution of an American classic, priming it for the 21st century. The ash body with a maple neck and fingerboard stays true to the original recipe for classic tone. But this American Standard Strat packs a very different trio of pickups - Custom Shop Fat 50s single-coils, previously only reserved for Fender's top-line Custom Shop guitars! These premium pickups pack all the bark and bite that made the Strat sound famous. You'll also love the classic Fender touches and fan-favorites like hand-rolled fingerboard edges, staggered tuning machines, and aged knobs and pickups covers on the Fender American Standard Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar.

The Broadcast is a transformer coupled, discrete Class-A germanium pre-amplifier based on the classic broadcast consoles of the 1960s. In the low-gain setting, the Broadcast can cover everything from sparkling clean boost through to transparent overdrive, all with a healthy dose of volume available to push your amp. The Broadcast features a specially selected Triad steel-core transformer and a Germanium transistor. Advancing the gain on the Broadcast starts to saturate the transformer and the pedal’s discrete circuitry, giving rise to a gentle and dynamic compression coupled with subtle thickening of the mid-range. With the gain switch in the high setting and the trim control wound up, the Broadcast starts to deliver heavier distorted sounds with a warm and fuzzy edge to them. The Broadcast covers a wide range of driven and distorted tones whilst remaining dynamic, responding well to pick attack and the subtle nuances of every player.

The MXR Sugar Drive Pedal provides a diverse range of clear and transparent overdrive tones, from sauced up boosting to blown-tube distortion. It’s based on a rare overdrive pedal that has acquired a mythical reputation among fanatical tone-seekers thanks to its unique circuit design.

The key elements of that circuit design are the Drive control and something called a voltage doubler. First, the Drive control on this pedal doesn’t just increase the intensity of the overdrive pedal. It starts with your clean signal and then blends it with the overdrive effect as you turn it up, replicating the smooth transition of an amplifier going from clean to dirty. The voltage doubler increases overall headroom, which opens everything up nicely.

Of course, we had to put the MXR touch on this circuit. If you’re all about true bypass, then you’re in luck—this pedal uses it by default. The original used buffered bypass, though, and we know there’s a lot of players out there who don’t want to fix something that isn’t broken. They’re in luck, too—just flick the Buffer switch on the side of the pedal to enable buffered bypassing.

With a simple three-knob setup and an MXR mini housing, this is the go-to overdrive to have on your pedalboard. It’s versatile and it saves space, and unlike the original pedals it’s based on, it won’t cost you thousands of dollars.

The Fredric Effects Standard Fuzz Machine is a new version of the classic Ibanez Standard Fuzz, also known as the Bruno/Mica Fuzz Machine. A raw, crunchy, and roaring vintage fuzz with a fantastic amount of range. This fuzz has a distinct flavor that's in the same family as the famed Shin-Ei/Univox SuperFuzz, although less scooped and with more pronounced octavey overtones.

The tone switch provides two very distinct sonic ranges for the fuzz, and while one stays 60s garagey, the other adds more cut and fizz.
