THE BEST NEW GUITAR PEDALS<br />
<strong>NAMM</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />

Wampler<br />
Terraform<br />
For a company that’s created deep dives into almost every<br />
effect imaginable, Wampler has been without a do-itall<br />
modulator since its inception. That all changes with the<br />
Terraform, a modulation box that focuses on highly-specialized<br />
takes on classic effects for some new sounds you<br />
simply can’t get anywhere else. Not content to <strong>of</strong>fer a simple<br />
chorus-vibe-flanger box, the Terraform gives you highly<br />
tweakable takes on additive <strong>and</strong> subtractive flanging,<br />
through-zero flanging, phaser <strong>and</strong> several chorus modes.<br />
Extra features include a ton <strong>of</strong> inventive<br />
routing options, courtesy<br />
<strong>of</strong> the post ins <strong>and</strong> outs, allowing<br />
you to connect the same device<br />
at two different points in a signal<br />
chain. In addition to that, the Pantheon<br />
supplies global tap tempo<br />
<strong>and</strong> a centrally-located preset<br />
function equipped with eight<br />
slots. MIDI <strong>and</strong> expression options<br />
come st<strong>and</strong>ard, along with<br />
multiple LFO shaping options.<br />

“These will change in the<br />
final version,” Wampler says.<br />

4 Eventide<br />
Rose<br />
3pt.<br />
These days, it seems like it would be hard for Eventide to<br />
top itself, but that’s exactly what happened at <strong>NAMM</strong> this<br />
year. Eventide’s Rose delay represents a return to organic<br />
effects by <strong>of</strong>fering a kitchen-sink approach to one effect:<br />
digital delay. The Rose began its life as a set <strong>of</strong> ones <strong>and</strong><br />
zeroes that Eventide “grafted” onto an analog control platform<br />
for an incredibly unique take on the concept <strong>of</strong> delay.<br />
The control set <strong>of</strong> the Rose <strong>of</strong>fers up some familiar faces,<br />
but a series <strong>of</strong> small pushbutton switches dramatically exp<strong>and</strong><br />
the possibilities, from five incredibly unique modulation<br />
options with an unbelievable range <strong>of</strong> depth to time<br />
multipliers, one-touch phase inversion <strong>and</strong> a reverse playback<br />
function. Every level <strong>of</strong> the Rose is customizable,<br />
from the assignable Hotswitch to how the bypass switch<br />
functions. The Rose simply performs functions that can’t<br />
be done in the analog realm or the digital realm, needing<br />
the symbiosis <strong>of</strong> both to truly realize its full potential.<br />
