I’m not the biggest fan of Boss pedals but I can’t deny that they are incredibly popular and are used by pretty much some of the biggest names in the music industry. And now Boss will be adding three more pedals to their already pretty damn extensive lineup. The three pedals, which will make their debut at NAMM 2013, are the TE-2 Tera Echo, the DA-2 Adaptive Distortion, and the MO-2 Multi-Overtone. Below are videos that feature Rob Zombie/ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 demonstrating their tones.

Actually, let me get an annoyance off my chest if you don’t mind. If a company is going to release a video promoting their new line of guitar FX pedals and want people to hear the sounds they are capable of, how about they DON’T let some wannabe dramatic voiceover guy talk the whole damn video? That too much to ask for? Sheesh… READ MORE

Mesa/Boogie Unveils Line Of Guitar FX Pedals

Mesa Engineering, known throughout the music world for their ubiquitous Triple Rec amplifiers (seriously, those things are everywhere), have entered the guitar FX pedal world. The four models are, at the basic level, overdrive/distortion effects, including a clean boost, an overdrive, a more complex overdrive, and a full on high-gain distortion. Although there isn’t a mention of a release date, it seems that the pedals will be made available very soon. You can read more detailed descriptions of each pedal below.

Now, I know that they used to have V-Twin stompbox, but that was a preamp and was best used in a studio setting. Instead, these four pedal models are tailored to the strengths of the renowned Mesa/Boogie overdrive/distortion.

You can see video samples of the pedals on Mesa/Boogie’s website. READ MORE
