The Mod Squad<br />
Overview: StutterKill<br />
Dual-Purpose Pedal<br />
Specifics: The StutterKill<br />
from Modtone Effects is a<br />
dual-purpose pedal. On one<br />
hand, it is a kill switch that’s<br />
suitable when changing<br />
guitars or when a player just<br />
needs everything shut off<br />
for a second. The second<br />
button is a momentary kill<br />
switch that allows the player<br />
to do on/off toggle switch<br />
effects with his/her feet.<br />
According to the company,<br />
“It’s your own musical panic<br />
button.” Like all Modtone pedals, it has an all-metal<br />
casing and is True Bypass with a bright blue LED.<br />
MSRP: $99.95<br />

Mega Loaded<br />
Overview: Marshall Amplification’s Dave Mustaine<br />
Megastack<br />
Specifics: Marshall Amplification has introduced<br />
the Dave Mustaine special edition MG microstack<br />
guitar amp, dubbed the “Megastack.” The threepiece<br />
unit includes a 15-watt compact head with four<br />
channels, plus two matching speaker cabinets, one<br />
angled and one straight. Each cabinet is loaded with<br />
a full-range 10-inch Celestion speaker. Available in<br />
extremely limited quantities in the U.S., the amp looks<br />
like a compact version of Mustaine’s full-sized touring<br />
rig that he uses with Megadeth. The cabinets have a<br />
more open-face look with a diamond-pattern, blackpowder-coated<br />
steel kick grille to protect the speakers.<br />
Covered in “Carbon Fibre” black patterned vinyl, the<br />
cabinets are finished with high-impact-resistant cabinet<br />
fixtures. Even in its micro format, the Megastack<br />
can provide Mustaine’s tone out of the box.<br />

Sir Mix-A-Lot<br />
Tune Up<br />
Overview: TuneTech’s One-Touch Chromatic<br />
Tuner<br />
Specifics: TuneTech released its new one-touch<br />
chromatic tuner. It has one button and one mode<br />
(A-440). The button is on the front in the center<br />
and it turns itself off if the user doesn’t. This makes<br />
it easier for the consumer, and saves money in<br />
manufacturing. Two new features: A futuristic-looking<br />
bright blue LED screen, and a new matte rubberized<br />
scratch-resistant finish give the tuners a<br />
classy look and feel. Available in midnight black and<br />
hunter orange.<br />
MSRP: $29.95<br />

Overview: Morley’s ABY Mix Switching Device<br />
Specifics: Morley released a new switching<br />
device, the ABY Mix. Featuring independent level<br />
controls for each input, it eliminates a major frustration<br />
with ABY boxes on the market today: the<br />
inability to mix input signals. It is equipped with<br />
individual input level controls to guarantee the user<br />
a good mix every time. With the click of a switch,<br />
the two output sources can be used separately or<br />
simultaneously to meet one’s exact requirements.<br />
Conventional ABY boxes allow two inputs to be<br />
routed to one output, but when you play both<br />
inputs at the same time, there is no way to mix the<br />
two input levels. It’s no longer a problem with the<br />
ABY Mix, which has dozens of practical uses that<br />
can’t be done with conventional ABY boxes.<br />
MSRP: $129<br />
