ZAKK WYLDE’S SECRET WEAPON: THE MXR BLACK LABEL CHORUS DEMO

• Posted in
• Black Label Chorus

Zakk Wylde’s “secret weapon for his massive tone” is out! Pro Guitar Shop has posted an excellent demo which all of you metal heads should check out.

“The MXR Black Label Chorus. Zakk Wylde’s secret weapon for his massive tone. Whether you’re going for clean liquid arpeggios or chewy 3 dimensional distorted leads, the Black Label Chorus has got your back. It yields a sonic depth unmatched by lesser choruses.”

Try combining the MXR Black Label Chorus with our Zakk Wylde Overdrive (which has a whopping 273,695 youtube views!) and achieve a MONSTER tone the likes of the rock god himself.

“The MXR Black Label Chorus is not your typical chorus pedal, because it is crafted and modeled after Zakk Wyldes own tone and style. This is Zakks secret weapon a stereo chorus that thickens up solos and adds some lush texture to the cleans, without taking away from his monstrous tone. This is a true bypass analog chorus pedal that is completely vintage in its tone, but thoroughly modern in its abilities. The tone shaping abilities of the MXR Black Label Chorus are amazing, with separate high and low tone cut controls. Add to the Level, Depth, and Rate knobs, and you can get some astounding chorus tones. From lush analog chorus effects to Leslie styled sounds, the MXR Black Label Chorus provides an amazing array of chorus effects. The tone cuts can really shape your tone, and with some creative knob tweaking, you can muster some utterly original and startling chorus effects. This wouldnt mean a whole lot unless the sound was pristine. This is a vintage sounding chorus pedal with high quality analog circuitry that delivers astounding chorus effects. Add this chorus effect to some thundering solos, and you have unlocked the secret of rich and thick solo tones.”

REINTRODUCING THE MXR MICRO FLANGER

• Posted in
• micro flanger

Last week we announced the re-release of our classic MXR Micro Chorus pedal. This week we’re adding to the classics series by announcing the addition of the MXR Micro Flanger.

Based on the benchmark sounds of the MXR M117 Flanger, the MXR Micro Flanger classic features many of the same flanging effects of its big brother, but in a smaller and more convenient size. Originally released in the 80’s, this faithful recreation features the same two critical controls—a Speed knob to control the rate of cycling and a Regeneration knob to manage the overall intensity—and stays true to its 100% analog bucket brigade technology for the ultimate in warm and organic tone. The Micro Flanger has been updated with a true bypass switch so you don’t lose any tone during bypass. Go from jet plane like sweeps to cool outer space type effects with the MXR Micro Flanger.

• Reviews, Way Huge

Analog War Cry – one of the leading authoritative blogs on boutique analog pedals – has written another excellent (and very thorough) Way Huge review. This time he put the Pork Loin through its paces.
