THE BEST NEW GUITAR PEDALS<br />

<strong>NAMM</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />

#<br />

8<br />

Tsakalis<br />

<strong>Audio</strong> Works<br />

Six B.O.D. 2pt.<br />

Hailing from Greece, the Tsakalis<br />

<strong>Audio</strong>works Six B.O.D. serves up<br />

a buffet <strong>of</strong> dirt circuitry, with six<br />

different selectable modes inspired<br />

by such revered gain devices as the<br />

Analogman KOT, Marshall Bluesbreaker,<br />

Paul C Timmy <strong>and</strong> more. If<br />

these emulation sound even close<br />

to the original, this pedal packs a<br />

treasure chest worth <strong>of</strong> tone.<br />

#<br />

8 SolidGoldFX<br />

Lysis (Prototype)<br />

2pt.<br />

A wild pedal prototype that combines<br />

fuzz, synth <strong>and</strong> filter sweeping for a wild<br />

trip into synthesis. The Lysis does all<br />

this with a series <strong>of</strong> five knobs <strong>and</strong> five<br />

switches that adjust everything from<br />

the depth <strong>of</strong> the filter sweeps to the<br />

smoothness <strong>of</strong> the fuzz. No stone is left<br />

unturned on the quest for synth madness,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Lysis delivers it in spades.<br />

#<br />

8<br />

Spaceman 2pt.<br />

Mission Control<br />

This is a pedal that sits as the central<br />

nervous system <strong>of</strong> your pedalboard<br />

<strong>and</strong> operates everything around it.<br />

Dialing in the Mission Control <strong>and</strong><br />

stomping the Activate footswitch<br />

triggers attack <strong>and</strong> release times<br />

that you set. The built-in effects<br />

loop lets you insert any number <strong>of</strong><br />

pedals into the path <strong>of</strong> the Mission<br />

Control <strong>and</strong> the analog VCA <strong>and</strong><br />

accompanying envelope generator<br />

keeps the action nice <strong>and</strong> tight.<br />

Ernie Ball<br />

VPJR Tuner<br />

2pt.<br />

A volume pedal from the industry<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard in the category with<br />

a built in tuner visible through a<br />

screen embedded on top <strong>of</strong> the<br />

pedal’s treadle. The large display<br />

automatically switches between<br />

tuner <strong>and</strong> volume modes<br />

depending on the signal level,<br />

allowing the player to tune at<br />

minimal volume.<br />
