Sorry to my handful of avid readers that I've not been blogging of late, I've been uninspired words wise despite having plenty to write about and I've just got a new band together so pretty much all of my energies are going into that at the moment. This is a good thing though because gear is made to be gigged and if I'm gigging it then I'm more likely to write about it!
You already all know that getting my pedalboard right is something of a dark art to me and one that I certainly haven't mastered yet and now that I have a new band on the go I've been looking at expanding my tonal arsenal with a few choice pedals... I'm already running a T Rex Dr Swamp Dual Distortion an Ernie Ball Wah an Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser and an MXR carbon copy analogue delay and have decided that I want to get an EQ pedal to shape my distortion and use as a boost (probably an MXR eq), a reverb pedal and an octave pedal. My biggest problem is the fact that I am a snob and I preferably want pedals that no one has ever heard of or that not too many people have heard of.
So how happy was I yesterday when I was shown the new Morpheus Drop Tune pedal... it not only works as a polyphonic octaver with some of the best tracking I've ever heard but it also lets you digitally drop your entire guitars tuning from one semitone up to seven semitones! Needless to say I am getting one as soon as I have the cash!!! Expect a full review in the future but for now here is a link to the Morpheus Pedals website: http://www.morpheusefx.com/pages/droptune.html
