A review of a Dimarzio PAF and a Dimarzio Super Distortion.

Sorry I’m not actually in the picture, I just can’t stand it when people stand (or sit) in front of the amp because it affects the sound.

Equipment (as stated in video):
-Gibson Les Paul w/ Dimarzio PAF (neck) and Dimarzio Super Distortion (Bridge)
-Marshall TSL 60W Head
-Marshall 1960A Cab
-Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

I have other videos that were recorded with an SM57 for better quality that’s more true to the actual sound. Check ‘em out.

Jon Lord, Ian Gillan, Ian Paice and Roger Glover talk about Jon’s overdriven / distorted Hammond organ sound(mostly referred to as “The Beast”) used on various Deep Purple records, albums such as In Rock, Machine Head and Made In Japan. Jon also gives a nice demonstration, playing the organ solo from Highway Star. Truly a great piece of Deep Purple history!

http://www.ProGuitarShop.com – The Radial Tonebone Plexitube distortion pedal is, simply put, a Marshall Plexi in a box. This relatively compact pedal is powered by a 12AX7 tube and delivers a cornucopia of classic Marshall tones with tons of tweakability. Make any amp sound like a classic Marshall Plexi stack!

The Radial Tonebone Plexitube features two switches, one True Bypass for tonal integrity, and one to toggle between Channel 1 and Channel 2. Channel 1 has been engineered for chunky, fat Marshall rhythm sounds, while Channel 2 has been designed specifically for singing leads and smooth sustain. Channel 2 also features an effects loop for interfacing a reverb or delay pedal with your lead setting, allowing you to enact both with one toggle. This feature limits the fancy footwork so you can concentrate on the important stuff, like ripping out a face-melting solo.

Independent level, EQ, and contour controls allow for total tone shaping tweakability. This is further enhances by switches for top end, voicing, and mid content, allowing you to control brightness, fatness, and mid boost or cut. Whether you dig a scooped Marshall metal sound or a warm, midrangey classic Marshall rock sound, it’s all in there.

Take a peek at the vid and check out the Radial Tonebone Plexitube pedal for yourself. If you dig thick, meaty Marshall rock tones this is the pedal for you.

pinnacle 2 by Brian Wampler
This pedal is said to give you that “plexi brown sound” that eddie van halen is known for.

Here is what 12th fret guitar shop in toronto, Canada had to say about the pedal:

Guitarists are always after the proverbial Holy Grail of pedals that are going to get them that elusive high gain mucho chunga sound. Weve seen our fair share of amazing products come through our doors and into your hands. With the Wampler Pinnacle, I am suffering from another Here-I-go-again syndrome.
Just when I though I had heard it all, I came across Brian Wamplers amazing products. Brian Wamplers pedal mods and custom pedals have become legendary in the pro circles. Guitarists are always looking for distortion pedals that yield amp-like tones and have the dynamic overtones that only an amp and 4X12 cab can achieve. I stand corrected. The Pinnacle is a high gain overdrive/distortion that is voiced towards the Hot rodded Marshall/Bogner Ecstacy/Peavey 5150/ Soldano SLO100/ Mesa Engineering sound. In fact, its the pedal that gets the closest to the EVH Brown sound!

Its masterfully made up of J-fet circuits peppered with high grade metal film resistors and diodes. Its true bypass design keeps everything neutral in the signal chain and is remarkably quiet even at gainiac level of distortion. Remarkably dynamic, the Pinnacle responds to the subtlest of volume knob adjustments and cleans up very nicely. It consists of Volume, Tone (high frequency roll off), Vintage/Modern switch, Contour (sweepable mid control), Gain (duh!!!), On/Off switch and a boost switch for solo boost or adding more snarl to the equation.
Not only does this pedal sound amazing but it looks incredibly sexy as well. I can pretty much plug this sucker into any amp and get my sound from the cheesiest of transistor amps to the clean channel of my Koch Powertone and VHT Pitbull. With minor adjustments I was even able to get my trademark Gainiac/Captain Crunch approved tone and everything in between. Amazingly enough, there is a lot of gain on tapa lot even for me. There is enough gain here to choke a hungry Great White Shark. Yet in making such a fire breathing pedal, creator/alchemist boy Brian Wampler has managed to keep all the subtleties of the guitar and the dynamics of a tube amp while still keeping some amazing headroom levels. As we dont have any stock at the moment, delivery time is about 2-3 weeks on Wampler pedalstake it from a self-confessed pedal addict/gainiac, its totally worth the wait.

***Gainiac: definition Crunch monger, One who prefers excessive gain and volume levels associated with high performance amps like Soldano, Koch, Mesa, Bogner and Egnater amps. Known to strike fear in other less aggressive guitarists, Gainiacs thrive on a steady musical diet of Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Death Metal, Thrash Metal and Shred/guitar instrumental music. They are often very picky about tone and are often not intimidated by Floyd Rose equipped instruments***
