Empress Compressor Effect Pedal Malaysia!

Compression:Its confusing for people what a compression it does,it really doensn't really appear too much in studio/bedroom players rig,however,for recording,this is a very useful tool that would help to bring ur recording to the next level...and coincidentally,many players overlooked the use of a compressor...

Info:In short:Compressor are there to even out dynamics by bringing up the bringing up the quietest part of the signal, while at the same time also bringing down the level of the loudest parts. Guitarists generally use them to add greater punch, sustain, and perceived volume to a clean (or slightly dirty) guitar tone. 

Our favourite part of this compressor is the ability to have the attack and relesase controls and how it blends together to actually fine tune your tone....put it with the right amplifier,what you'll get with this empress compressors is smooth sustain decays and the high end cut that many people look for in their sound


Music Bliss was lucky to bring in Empress compressor for one of our customer,it is a compressor that is comparatively transparent that is able to have great versatility and flexibility to your playing..It's of the top 5 compressors in the world...........Other springs to mind:

b)Boss CS-3 Compressor Sustainer
c)Keeley 4 Knob Compressor
d)Visual Sound V2 Series V2CMP66 Compression
e)Barber Tone Press
f)Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone
g)MXR Dyna Comp

j)Empress Compressor Of Course! Or Diamond Compressor

Below is a Demo review by Proguitarshop:Really shows well how a compressor pedal should be used!

Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Effects Pedal Malaysia!

Rolling back those old records,i think everyone has listened to Stevie Ray Vaughan's playing of his texas flood,Pride and Joy,Mary Had a little Lamb....and how did SRV get such sounds? Other than using a superhuman-strength gauged,hot licking pickups,there is another weapon in his Arsenal.....

Yes,the Ibanez Tube screamer TS9 it is,Made in Japan and previously designed by the master Mr.S.Tamura from Japan....The TS9 is actually little brighter,some people uses it for a boost,some people use it for their solos.Another famous user from the TS9 is The Edge from U2...and of course many blues players too....

The Twin brother of TS9,Ibanez TS9 DX:For players who want more volume,distortion and Low end,practically almost the same as the Ibanez TS9,but it comes with extra knob that would yield 4 Mode positions.

Korg Pitchblack PB02 and Korg Pitchblack Polytune Malaysia

Korg Pitchblack,is a pedal tuner that important? For the gigging guitarist,yes it is! 

Korg is proud enough to print on every effect case that" Over 1 Million Sold"! 

Top 7 Pedal Tuners IMO:

1)Korg Pitchblack PB-02 and Korg Pitchblack Polytune PB-03

2)Boss Tu-3 Chromatic Tuner

3)Peterson VSS C-Stomp Classic Strobotuner Pedal Tuner

4)Digitech Hardwire HT-2 Chromatic and Hardwire HT-6 Polyphonic Pedal Tuner

5)TC Polytune and TC polytune Mini

6)Behringer TU300 (Cheap and reliable value for the price

7)Sonic Research Pedal Tuner ST-200

Important Notes:Check out Korg.com for its detailed information! 

100% True Bypass output keeps your tone intact.

The pitchblack mutes the input signal for silent tuning, and when you're not tuning the input is passed directly to the output jack without being affected by any circuitry (True Bypass). So even if you connect the pitchblack between several of your favorite pedals, the signal will pass without going through the internal buffer amp, ensuring that the sounds you've created using your effects will not be colored in any way. 

The pitchblack tuner has a tough aluminum die-cast body that will endure hard use on the road or in the studio. The large LED meter and note name display with light-emitting surface is easy to read in any setting from daylight to stage light to no light.

You guys that are reading this would hope the lights will go OFF and turned PITCHBLACK Now right? Haha

TC Electronics-A tribute to this Danish Company!

Denmark are known for its fairytales,beautiful ladies,Carlsberg Beers,1992 Euro winning team,Peter Schemeichel and one more thing....TC Electronics!

Should we continue talking about the Danish TC electronics or Nina Agdal (This Danish Model)....If u want to continue reading about TC electronics,just move your cursor to the right top and click "X" (Just Kidding!)

Ok,back to TC Electronics.....Focus Please....

There was once a time,where guitarist need to tune their guitars string by string,and hell yeah,it takes quite a long time to do so....so this company came out and thinked that:No,we're not going to do that anymore,with this simply innovative thinking,they created the TC polytune......In which,In 1 strum,ure able to know all the tuning of your strings...and hence,history was made for this Danish Company....It was a hit back then:TC polytune,although Korg Pitchblack Polytune came out and hardwire polyphonic tuner was out after that,TC still held its name against the late comers...

With better budget,they came out with other pedals as well,soon,delay lovers was able to use TC Flashback Delay Toneprint and most recently the brilliant TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay and Looper...the ultimate delay pedal and comes with tons of options is of couse:TC ND-1 Nova Delay,i remember the day when proguitarshop.com lauched their demos,wow,that was the the first glimpse of what it can really do,as it has not been in Malaysia that time...

There are other pedals as well of couse,the Hall of Fame reverb as well as the Tc rottweiler Distortion pedals as well as the highly rated TC Coruna Chorus....and of course,dont forget the TC electronic Ditto Looper too!

And one thing not many people know is that they make good vocal processors also! Traditionally people have been going for Boss VE-20 Vocal processor,but nowdays,TC Helicon Voicelive has came out with many models that are quite good for your money...

Lastly,it started with a very little innovation,and today,there is another Innovative and growing company that will of course create in more and more effect pedals in the future....

Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ Plus-Malaysia Here we come!

Someone once described effect pedals as a "Want" rather than a "Need"...Then Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus was born,and now we can say that It is a "NEED" for many gigging,guitarist,bedroom,collectors as well as hobbyists....what's the importance of a specialised Power supply?   

The question is "Why don't we just use an RM10 china adaptor"?  :And here,lies the secret of this powerful little beasts...

What this specialise power supply brings you is its ability to have "Isolated" outputs,this would prevent ground loops and reduce noise level from pedals...Ever experienced problematic "hiss" sounds? This is one of the medicine that is causing your problems....Equipped with cool looks and built like a brick (Enough to kill),the pedal power 2 plus is currently the industrial and we can say the most favoured Power supply....Lastly,flexibility:It has  two outputs that can be switched to power Line 6 modeling pedals, and two outputs with variable voltage "sag" to emulate dying carbon batteries for nailing that vintage sound in your wah, overdrive or fuzz. Plus, with its isolated outs, you can combine them to create 18V and more!

Talking about one of the world's best selling OD pedal ever,so what is all the hype about?

Imagine a Giant White Kit Kat,Crispy,crunchy,FAT sounding food,yes,that is all their about,that's why they're called Fulltone,this stems from the vision,of "Full",tones that can filled up your empty stomaches....

Built:As they say,Built like a Tank! 

 Gas Level:Particularly if u've been using 15-20 OD pedals and have not found "The One",perhaps,GAS,this is the "The one"

Best Uses:Use it with a TUBE AMP please!  Advisable is to use it with a single channel Class A amp

Flexibility:Comes with its LP and HP function,where it controls the growl that you get,depending on which music you play.....can also become a slight volume boost,also able to play to some distortion sounds,so in short,quite a fleible pedal,doesn't mudd your sound,and quite impressive at lower levels too....

Analogman Ardx20 Dual Delay in Malaysia!

Flexibility is the keyword here,its a dual delay,which means it can have 2 separate delay settings and access your settings with just a foot step away,so you can say its a 2 in 1 kinda of delay pedal....Another Keyword is Warm:a very lush sound is created from the use of the pedal as soon we plugged in to our full tube amplifier.With Analogman the quality of tones generated in all of its products are also evident.Recommended and specially review by PremierGuitar,and rated by editor's pick from Guitar Player,this pedal is one of a kind in this era of digital delay...the purist still stick to their tried and trusted Analog pedals,and we can say that The analogman ARDX20 delay is one of them!  What we trully love about this delay is its: natural sounding and long swirling repeats...delays that can create warm and dreamy kinda of feeling...

It’s all about how you create your sound. If you must have tons of delay in your tone, by all means – go to town with it.

This is the Amazeo,really good name for it as it amazes people what it can be done,with this baby,guitar players are able to enter tap Tempo mode,rather only be able to tap in the tempo you can also control the two modulation parameters: Modulation Speed and Modulation Type.

Analogman BC108 Fuzz! Yeah a Fuzz Pedal!

Let me start off by saying I’m a fanboy of Fuzz Face. This started out the first time I heard Jimi. And the bug grew bigger when I tried out Dunlop’s big blue Jimi’s Fuzz Face. It simply had an awesome tone.

Awesome tone but nonetheless troublesome. You see, a Fuzz Face isn’t like your favourite OD or distortion. To get its blooming beauty, you’ve got to work things out a fair bit. Many times, I’ve sat down with friends and fellow musicians who tried out a Fuzz Face, and they all had similar complaints. The fuzz is too thin, it’s too buzzy, and it freaks out with wah and other effects. And often, those guys got their effects chain wrong, and didn’t work out the kinks associated to Fuzz Face.  

The Fuzz Face and all its associated clones; with true vintage wiring and with germanium or silicon transistor, will always be fussy. This is one of the strange effects that will always want to be first. So, place it first in line. And have the rest of your stomps follow it after. As for working with wah, without squeals and funny buzzy noises, get a Foxrox wah retrofit fitted in. The buffer cheats the FF into believing it’s seeing a guitar signal and won’t act all wonky. And your wah will finally give you a full sweep.

Now, if you want to boost the Fuzz Face, or simply tighten the fuzzy edges, throw a Tubescreamer or some other drive after it. Something transparent is awesome but I personally use a TS9 after my Sunface BC108. It thickens the tone and gives me that Bonamassa type of lead tone (with a Strat’s bridge pup)!

Normally I’d say there are no rules as to how you want to set your rig up. But when it comes to Fuzz Face and its likes, you simply have to stick by some of the timeless, tried and tested rules. And before you say Jimi did fine with his, remember…Jimi had Roger Mayer.

Analogman Effect Pedals Malaysia-The Prince of Tone Overdrive!

Analogman is Here Finally in Malaysia,Talking about this legendary brand,what it gives us ozzes tone,vintage sound and most certainly,quality control....Sharing some experiences talking to Analogman Mike from the USA,we totally understand why he has such good reputation...combined with slick and smart Research and design from Japan,they cater their products to the most experienced of players...the fuzzes,chorus and compressors and snapped up in just few moments after arriving,we only had some short moment to actually have this photo sessions! After photos are out,the people are in! A must try for vintage sound lovers,yes its Modded version are good too!

The Prince of Tone-Its an overdrive on its own,yes it has some similarities of the King of Tone.


The three modes are:

1) Normal Overdrive mode (OD mode): This is the standard King Of Tone sound, - a touch drive available than a tube screamer. Can get much louder than a tube screamer.

2) CLEAN mode : This mode has less distortion, it can be used for clean boosts or clearer, louder sounds. It's sort of a cross between a true clean boost and an overdrive. CLEAN MODE is even less compressed and louder than the OD mode. I love this mode with high drive settings too!

3) DISTORTION mode :  more drive than the standard mode- a touch of hard distortion. The sound is more compressed, yet retains the pedal’s character. Same volume as OD mode.

At low DRIVE settings, or when playing softly, there is not much difference between the three modes, they all can get pretty clean and have the same level at low drive settings. The ability to clean up when playing softly is a very useful feature of this pedal. The Drive knob works like the KOT with HIGHER GAIN OPTION, so you can set it anywhere and get great tones.

Barber Half Gainer by Barber Electronics

Here is the Barber Half Gainer,definitely a smooth and versatile overdrive pedal:The key here is having the two independent channels, as it's really like having two overdrives in one!  

Difinitely suitable if you’d like a progression of sounds that you can easily control with one pedal.

Gets quite a good review from premierguitar.com

Music Bliss promotes Barber Electronics Barber Half Gainier!

Helpful Descriptions:

The Barber Half Gainer is the dual channel version of our retired LTD series of ultra clear low gain overdrive. The Half Gainer adds new features for enhanced live performance. There is a new "mid character" control that simultaneously adjusts the midrange content and shifts the EQ curve to compliment the amount of midrange added or cut! We worked with pedal artist Bronson Wagner to achieve a very upscale graphic and paint presentation. Bronson tastefully applied Art Deco styling on a rich new silver vein powder coat, for beauty with significant durability. 

The sounds that emanate from our overdrive instrument range from subtle purrs, to an authoritative sweet grind. The Midrange Character control allows you to set the tone control to a nearly flat EQ balance for BIG chords that match your clean tone magnificently, or dial in a sophisticated fatness to thicken your single note lines to perfection.

The Half Gainer has control features that include; two channels with fully independent adjustments of output volume and gain for each channel. This is a tremendous step up from simply boosting schemes often implemented by other pedal companies. There are a shared Tone and Midrange Character adjustments on top the Half Gainer to keep things simple for quick live settings. The Half Gainer also has internal trim pots made by CTS to facilitate note-shape (2012), bass and presence balancing. The Half Gainer achieves these two independent channels in an enclosure that is only 3.7" wide to save greatly on pedalboard space.
