Ep. 55: Keeley's 24th Anniversary Octa Psi, Marshall's New MASSIVE Amp Is...A Party Speaker?
This week we talk about the latest from Keeley Electronics, Marshall Amplification and Walrus Audio, as well as an entire new series from Jackson Guitars. Keeley released the Taiga Mod Octa Psi for their 24th anniversary. This mod involves 20 component changes on the fuzz side for more of a 90's Russian-Era Big Muff sound. Jackson guitars released the Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas lineup, a callback to 80's shredder guitars. Marshall released the Bromley 750, a massive party speaker on wheels, equipped with lights, wheels and even inputs for guitar and microphones with an EQ and built in reverb and delay. Walrus Audio released the Canvas Power USB and teased their next release coming next week. Loog Guitars teased their upcoming collaboration with Gibson, and Mythos Pedals also teased a possible second batch of the Big Puft Fuzz. We also discuss the three giant pedalboards of Nigel Tufnel from the film Spinal Tap 2.
