Orange Thunderverb 200 Head Review

2008-08-15T15:19:00.003+01:00

“The Orange Thunderverb 200 kicks out 200 watts of all-valve power. Thunder by name, thunder by nature. The loudest offering from Orange (and probably one of the loudest guitar amps out there) has a whole host of useful features and is built to last. This amp means business.”

Electro-Harmonix Hazarai Review

2008-08-14T18:53:00.002+01:00

"On a first impression of the Memory Man with Hazarai there’s a lot to take in and many controls that double up as a different parameter in different modes, so lets take a look at a run down of this crazy little box of tricks."

MI Pro - Orange Life Begins...

2008-08-11T16:00:00.003+01:00

"As one of the highest profile UK MI brands out there, Orange has been flying the flag for British innovation since the late ‘60s. Rob Power finds out how it feels to hit 40…

1968 was a difficult year by any standards; both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy fell to assassins’ bullets in the States, and as student protests rocked the establishment across the globe, back in dear old Blighty Enoch Powell delivered his infamous ‘rivers of blood’ speech, setting the scene for years of racial unease. Even the Beatles had a difficult year, with the first cracks appearing in the Fab Four’s foundations as they slowly collapsed under the weight of The White Album. Yet in the heart of London, in the basement of 3-4 New Compton Street, Clifford Cooper – a one time Joe Meek favoured rock and roller turned entrepreneur – was laying the foundations for what was to become one of the most recognisable and successful British MI brands ever; Orange...."

MXR El Grande Fuzz M182 £85 NOW IN STOCK!

2008-08-07T15:20:00.002+01:00

The MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz is a versatile and brutal fuzz designed specifically for bass. MXR took a classic 70’s fuzz circuit and made it bass friendly by adding a ‘deep’ switch that can pack up to 15dB of fat bass that is internally adjustable between 87Hz - 113Hz. Your tone sculpting tools on the El Grande Bass Fuzz are Volume, Tone and Fuzz. With these controls you can dial anything from punchy, growling low B’s to searing, sustained upper-register chords. The MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz is housed in a lightweight but durable aluminium casting with the same switches and high quality jacks that have made MXR pedals the road-ready standard on pedal-boards around the world.

MXR ‘74 Custom Shop Phase 90 - Review

2008-08-07T14:22:00.003+01:00

MXR have made great pedals for decades. The Phase 90 is a classic pedal but now has a custom shop model, build to reproduce the model made in 1974.

This pedal is build for the guitarist who only needs tone and only likes simplicity. Luckily, that’s me. With a pending gigs I scurried off with it. It was destined to be the only pedal between a Les Paul and an Orange stack and I was looking forward to hearing it all come together.

The pedal feels very different from the normal Phase 90, it is much smoother and has the old script writing which I really love. There is no LED which I don’t usually worry about because I’ll only use one pedal anyway. In order to have an LED the circuitry is very different and changes the sound, in ’74 they didn’t bother. The responsive clunk from the switch is perfectly weighted and can be felt through the sole of a shoe or boot.

New MXR Effects

2008-03-06T09:34:00.008Z

MXR have released 5 new effects to add to their ever-growing range of pedals. The new culprits in the line-up are:

MXR Classic Fuzz M173 - Essentially a Fuzz Face with modern extras such as pedal-board friendly housing, battery operation and a 'buffer' switch to cancel out the audible oscillation caused when some wah-wahs are placed in front of the Fuzz Face.

MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz M182 - With the vintage style circuitry of the Fuzz Face and voicing for bass guitar, the El Grande Bass Fuzz sounds really fat for those low notes!

MXR Tremelo Stereo M159 - A stereo tremolo as the name would suggest. Keeping the classic design of the Dunlop TS-1 Tremolo but with modern tweaks such as compact pedal-board friendly housing.

MXR 74' Vintage Phase 90 CSP026 - A custom shop Phase 90, based on the classic design of the original and highly sought after 1974 Phase 90. Hand wired and custom shop built, this phaser is very high quality.

MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay M169 - With it's completely analog audio path, 'bucket brigade' technology and up the 600ms of delay time, the Carbon Copy analog delay is highly likely to be a big hit with the tone purists.

Availability in the UK of these new MXR goodies is to be confirmed. We'll be stocking all of them ASAP.

Black is the new Orange

2008-02-25T01:04:00.006Z

Although Orange Amps are expected to be "Orange" the black ones have a classy look to them. The vinyl of the black is a different texture to the normal orange as it is smoother and without the cross-hatch effect. It also features stunning white piping which is a subtle change this year which we really like. Sound Unlimited are stocking Orange Amps in Black because we believe you should have the choice without the 4-6 week wait.
