VISION WAH SPECIAL
The Roger Mayer Vision Wah Special is the second in the Vision Low Line series of foot controllers and provides auto switching between the two functions of wah or volume. Players can now change from wah and control their volume instantly they have finished using the wah function. The low profile and silky smooth action entices players to use both functions in new ways as awkward and stiff mechanical manipulations of a gear train and switch are removed in this new modern evolution of the established 40-year-old design. I have a long history of successfully creating wah electronics that have produced some of the most notable wah sounds ever recorded and I am happy to bring the "Band of Gypsys" wah tones plus a Volume pedal with variable range together in one modern ergonomically designed package. Players can now achieve a more natural way to express themselves as the connection between foot and mind become virtually transparent.
VOODOO-VIBE+
The Voodoo-Vibe+ is the latest evolution of the Univibe as used by Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower. The Voodoo-Vibe+ will faithfully reproduce all the old retro sounds and incorporates the modifications I personally developed for Jimi. The Supervibe was my next evolution of the Univibe and many leading performers including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robin Trower used this unit. The Voodoo-Vibe followed the Supervibe and is accepted as the industry leader and used by many top performers. The Voodoo-Vibe + also has a Tremolo circuit plus the usual Chorus and Vibrato functions and the control of the sound parameters has been greatly expanded. The addition of Pulse Square waveforms to the normal Classic waveforms is a valuable and useful addition to the sweep capabilities. The Speed of the sweep generator has also been expanded together with the Symmetry Range and these features greatly increase the options of producing many new and unheard effects and the Voodoo-Vibe+ is a modern and worthy successor to our very successful Voodoo-Vibe. The art of analogue processing has moved forward.
VOODOO-BLUES
The Voodoo-Blues is a dual purpose guitar pedal with clean sustain and overdrive. It can be set to provide both overdrive and clean boost and uses a unique and completely different circuit to produce a very musical set of overtones with feedforward compression as it slips into overdrive. Full dynamics and detail are preserved and it cleans up perfectly with the guitar volume control to give ultimate player control. It has been designed to give the discerning player an alternative for the Tube Screamer type of overdrive and we urge you to compare and "experience the difference"
MISSION CONTROLLER SYSTEM
The Mission Controller series of modules is a flexible and expandable system using the latest digitally encrypted FM Radio technology. We are introducing the 6 Channel System as a starting point for those who wish to move forward and experience the freedom from wires and awkward guitar effects pedal boards. Commands for tone change can now be sent from the floor or guitar strap using the transmitters shown. It doesn't end there as we also have custom potentiometers for your guitar to enable you to control a transmitter that fits under the pick guard. Up to 26 channels are available by adding more modules.
