This week there’s a new sheriff in town, well he looks different at least! Plus new Adam Jones art and a new shoegaze reverb! (Where did all these shoegaze bands come from?!)
Your top flavors this week are:
Image: Strymon
Strymon is the industry standard when it comes to reverb and delay. Their Big Sky Reverb can be seen on numerous artists’ pedalboards regardless of genre. The Cloudburst is no exception. It creates lavish soundscapes and gorgeous ambient reverb with simple, straight-forward controls. The Cloudburst retains Strymon’s reliability in a small package. ($279)

Donkey Kong isn’t the only one Blackstar has improved upon their Amped 1 floor rig with the Amped 2 100 watt amp floor pedal. This full package rig solution features 3 amp power response modes (EL34, EL84, and 6L6) , 3 power stages (1w, 20w, 100w), 3 amp voices (UK, USA, or Classic), and 4 studio quality configurable effects. All this is wrapped in a slew of I/O options to make this amp pedal rig thing work for you! Available for $649.99.

Victory Amps has redesigned their acclaimed Sheriff amplifier. It has been updated with a new look, retaining the black and gold styling, but with a centered and full scale look. The Sheriff features 100-watts and 2 channels spanning 2 decades of tones from the 60’s to 80’s. Available at $2369.
