Strymon is right now running a contest to win an El Capistan. You can enter here. Contest ends Sept. 1 2010.

Ouch! Not like he can’t afford to replace this stuff but some of it will be hard to come by … like the original Way Huge Aqua Puss. Found via twitter

Strymon has just posted two new videos featuring the Brigadier delay pedal and the blueSky reverb pedal. The Brigadier video highlights the ‘bucket loss’ and ‘filter’ features. The blueSky video highlights the infinite plate reverb. Switch to 720p when you watch the video for better audio quality.

With dub soundtrack to boot.

Strymon has posted some shots of their demo pedalboard from the 2010 NAMM show last week. Looks like there is a previously unannounced reverb and also a chorus on there. From the site: “Introducing the Strymon blueSky reverberator and the Ola dBucket chorus / vibrato. We are swamped trying to get these done but we promise we’ll have more details, pictures, videos in the days to come. Please stay tuned and check this section of the website often!”

Also, here is a closeup of their upcoming Orbit flanger which will feature thru zero flanging among other things.

Looks like Damage Control is doing a 20% off 10% off sale for the new year. This is the first time we’ve seen TimeLine and Glass Nexus go on sale so if you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger, now may be the time. Additionally, their Liquid Blues pedal is back to $99 which is a total steal for a tube OD with opto compressor built in.

from their site: “20% off on Demonizer and Womanizer, 10% off on Glass Nexus and TimeLine, Liquid Blues for $99″

Moog was showing off their newly unveiled update of the Taurus bass pedals. They looked great in person and it seems as if the design draws heavily from the Little Phatty line of synths. As an owner of the Little Phatty I can say that the bass sounds in the Taurus III are going to be astounding. Taurus II will be a limited quantity product with less than 1000 units produced.

From the moogmusic site: “Long requested by many of our very best customers and used by the likes of Rush, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Asia, Weezer, and many more. This is a one time opportunity to own a new set with a new warranty but one absolutely faithful to the original Taurus I sound.“

Strymon OB.1 reviewed on What’s That Dude Play?

“… We liken the Strymon OB.1 to a studio-friendly Swiss Army Knife… something any player could turn to in a pinch to work his/her way out of a tonal rut. While we enjoyed some Compression setting more than others, the OB.1 offers up near endless possibilities for the ‘tweakheads’ among us that love to spread out on the floor and dial in the perfect tone … “
