Pulse

Shout out to the DWE camp - they emailed me about two weeks ago pertaining to the release of this Pulse pedal which is a rotating speaker emulator. If you've been browsing this blog diligently, you'd know that I own the DWE Diktator overdrive which is easily one of my most engaging unit in terms of drive saturation. The Pulse pedal is not available at Davis (yet) so there's no chance of trying this out in person but here's the next best thing:

Laney: IRT Pulse

This is the talk of the moment; Laney had shrunk their Ironheart technology to pedal size so you can incorporate it into your line up. Adding to that, its ability to be connected to your music software so the tone lives in your virtual world as well. If you are interested in one, do head down to Davis GMC & they are selling fast.

Laney: Ironheart Pulse

Availability: Davis GMC

Price: $245

Laney: Desktop ironing

This is the talk of town now- Laney's Ironheart Pulse. It's a desktop interface (nothing new) but it features Laney's acclaimed Ironheart drive & those are indeed caged-up pre-amp tubes; the ECC83. In addition to the digital applications, this pedal will double up as your proverbial booster but keep in mind that it needs its isolated power supply. 

Digital interfaces, tube-laden pre-amp boosters- these ideas aren't new but we acknowledge the fact that Laney has added its own signature to the fold. It's a matter of convincing us, players, it'll do good to our tone rather than clutter our boards.
