Leslie For Guitar (G37)

Leslie For Guitar (G37)

Hammond is releasing their Leslie for Guitar amp in February 2009. Here are some spotlight comments about it:

This is a GENUINE LESLIE SPEAKER with the patented spinning horn on the top and rotor on the bottom. The G-37 is considerably smaller and much lighter in weight than our traditional keyboard Leslies, but packs a mighty sound due to the 100-watt guitar amp onboard. This footswitchable 2-channel amp features a real tube preamp, which gives the “clean” channel a warm and velvety tone, and the “overdrive” channel its crunch and power. A “contour” control lets you further tailor your overdrive tone to match your playing style. A 3-band master EQ rounds out the spec. The amp is connected to a specially voiced driver that feeds the top spinning horn, and a V30 vintage 12” speaker that fires in the lower rotor drum. You won’t need to bother with the cumbersome “floor preamp” and thick multi-connector cable of the old-school Leslies. You simply plug in your guitar with a regular 1/4” guitar cable, just like a regular amp. The channel switch and “Fast/Slow” switch are normal-style guitar amp footswitches.

...and get a load of the gas pedal...

There are three more innovations in the G-37 that are new to the LESLIE line. Most important is the optional “Gas Pedal”. For the first time, you are able to have continuous linear control of the Leslie spinning speed. The further you press down on the pedal, the faster the Leslie spins, and vice versa. This is great for special effects, or for finding a “sweet spot” between slow and fast that is the right for whatever it is you are playing.

...the "front stop" feature lets you use the leslie as a guitar amp when you don't want the effect...

Next is the “Front Stop” feature. There will be times that you might want to play your guitar without the Leslie spinning effect. In the past, when the Leslie horn and rotor stopped, they just stopped. In the G-37 the horn and rotor always stop in a position to sent your sound directly out the front of the cabinet, allowing the G-37 to perform like a regular guitar amp. This is very useful when “miking up” the G-37 in a sound reinforcement system.

Stampede SOV-2 | Review

October 14, 2008

Stampede SOV-2 Pre-ReleaseThe time has finally come for fans of the Stampede SOV-1 overdrive pedal. A smaller, more compact & richer sounding SOV overdrive pedal has hit the market: the Providence Stampede-OD (SOV-2).

Under Review

  • Brand: Providence
  • Product Name: Stampede-OD
  • Product ID: (SOV-2)
  • Additional Notes: This is a pre-release "Free the Tone" version from Providence, which has some more expensive parts (these details are not fully known). The cost is $360+, and a normal SOV-2 will be around $300.
  • Availability: The SOV-2 is available only at http://www.providence.jp/, and unfortunately will not be sold by dealers within the US. However, interested US buyers can contact Mr. Hiro Sase of Global Interlink Systems, who is handling Providence products in the U.S.A
  • When Yuki (short for Yukihiro Hayashi), builder of the Stampede overdrive pedals, first emailed me to review the new SOV-2 for him....well, I was ecstatic! Many know that I'm a very big fan of the original Stampede SOV-1 overdrive pedal due to it's warm, complex, mildly compressed overdrive tones.

    However, the pedal takes up a lot of real estate on one's pedalboard, and I always thought the tone needed just a bit more midrange to cut through the mix in a live band setting. I would overcompensate on the high end by flipping on the Treble Boost & putting the Tone knob up 75% to about the 3:00 position. I still had a girthy tone that cut through better, but there was a slight edge that I had to deal with in order to tonally pierce through the mix as I like to say.

    After weeks & weeks of anticipation, waiting for Yuki to finish up my pre-release SOV-2, I was delighted to first notice that [Read more]

    Internal Combustion Guitar

    September 16, 2008

    Internal Combustion Guitar

    Internal Combustion Guitar

    Recently we learned of a new guitar design, called the Internal Combustion Guitar. Instead of forcing the resonate energy to the outside of your guitar, the Internal Combustion Guitar's proprietary driver system gently pumps it back inside. Then, the guitar's coupling mechanism redistributes the controlled energy to your strings. Your touch sends signal to a small amp (6 watts or less) or processor combo. The small amp sends the conditioned signal back to the Internal Combustion Guitar, and the Internal Combustion Guitar power driver reenergizes the now harmonically enriched and colored string tone.

    This guitar is very unique! For more information, visit their website.
