In 1958, it is believed that one Les Paul™ Goldtop model with an ES-295-style floral pickguard and matching armrest was created at the request of Mary Ford. Now, Gibson is honored to release this Mary Ford Les Paul Standard, based on that one-of-a-kind original guitar.
This exclusive model, with only 45 units available, is a tribute to a golden era of guitar making, echoing the craftsmanship that has made Martin a legendary name for generations.
JHS describes the Violet Distortion as "a new take on distortion/overdrive," and adds, "using this pedal is like adding a new and ultra-flexible distortion channel to your favorite clean amplifier."
Hammett, who has been with Metallica since 1983, showed off a variety of instruments during the interview, including vintage Les Pauls, a Korina Flying V prototype, and a 1964 J-180 Everly Brothers acoustic guitar.
The well-crafted, well-balanced guitar includes locking tuners, two high-gain humbuckers, and a tremolo bar that not only descends but also raises the instrument’s tone without quickly going out of tune.
The innovative pedal, which retails for $229, combines reverb and tremolo effects into a single, unit, offering a highly impressive level of sonic versatility and control.
For more than five years now, numerous companies based in China have been creating solid clones of classic guitar pedals, including the Proco Rat, the Klon Centaur, the Ibanez Tube Screamer, The Keeley Blues Driver, and the BOSS DD2 Digital Delay. Now, Lekato has dipped a bit deeper into the weeds and crafted two attractive mini pedals for players with more specialized interests: the B-Breaker and the R Comp.
The new DL4 MkII boasts all the same features as the original (‘case if it ain’t broke…), as well as an XLR microphone input (more on that later) and more.
The set will also include alternate versions of "Psycho Killer" and "Pulled Up," as well as an acoustic version of "Psycho Killer" featuring Arthur Russell.
Instantly change instrument types and tunings, bend individual string pitches for unique effects, or morph between instruments with separate processing chains.
The carefully crafted controls on the SDE-3 give players the ultimate control over their delay sounds. Or they can throw caution to the wind and inadvertently unlock a maze of out-of-the-box tones.
Warren Hanes, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Oteil Burbridge, Chuck Leavell, Devol Allman, Duane Betts, Charlie Starr, Jimmy Hall, Lamar Williams Jr., and others will gather to celebrate the life and music of the co-founder of the Allman Brothers and inspirational music figure.
One lucky winner will receive a package that includes a Duesenberg Fantom A electric guitar, a Neural DSP Quad Cortex processor, an Orange 120-watt cabinet, and more.
