BREAKING: Heather Brown Electronicals has just unveiled the highly anticipated Darlene Compression, a state-of-the-art analog compressor designed for musicians seeking pure sound with dynamic richness. The launch comes at a pivotal moment for guitarists, as players demand equipment that enhances their performance without compromising tonal integrity.
The Darlene Compression, priced at $218, offers a blend of intuitive design and advanced technology. With its ultra-quiet operation, it ensures that musicians can maintain the nuance of their playing, delivering smooth, responsive compression that enhances every note with natural sustain. This pedal features a straightforward control set—three knobs (Sustain, Blend, and Volume)—allowing players to fine-tune their sound effortlessly.
Inside the Darlene, a 100% analog signal path runs with premium components, boasting an ultra-low noise floor. Users can choose between true or buffered bypass, complemented by soft-touch switching for seamless transitions during live performances. The pedal also supports both 9V and optional 18V operations, offering additional headroom for those who prefer a sharper attack.
Alongside this release, Electro-Harmonix has introduced the Pico-sized Atomic Cluster Spectral Decomposer, a groundbreaking digital pedal that utilizes a unique algorithm to create an array of effects, from lo-fi glitch sounds to ambient synth pads. This innovation marks a significant expansion of EHX’s product line.
In a heartfelt initiative, Taylor Guitars has launched two special edition acoustic guitars in collaboration with Guitars 4 Vets (G4V). The 814ce Special Edition Blacktop and GS Mini Camo Special Edition honor U.S. veterans, featuring patriotic designs. For every guitar sold through authorized dealers, Taylor will donate to G4V, supporting veterans’ healing through music.
Additionally, Bad Cat Amplifiers has unveiled two new dual-overdrive pedals, the Burmese Drive and Siamese Drive, both handcrafted in Southern California.
Lastly, after decades of electrifying performances, the iconic rock band JOURNEY is embarking on their Final Frontier Tour, set to captivate audiences across North America. This farewell tour promises to be a memorable celebration of their legendary career.
