The Byrds 45th Anniversary Tribute

Cool, Ken ! Is this a special foil you made ? Or is it available stock ?

Must be a brand new pedal.
It has an intriguing extra knob for "Jangleboost tone".

Introduced at the summer NAMM show. I found it here (towards the bottom of the page): http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/I ... Day_2.aspx

Thanks for the link,
but..... Dang!
There's some ugly guitars on show as you scroll down the page.

Ugly huh? I guess beauty is in the eye.....

Nice one

Any news about this one ?

Not yet showing on their website janglebox.com According to the article : "... the company expects late summer or early fall availability." I would expect to see it soon.

Sometimes it's almost impossible to believe the seemingly insignificant details that can delay a small manufacturer like us from getting a product to market on schedule. One example: turns out the really cool knobs we originally wanted (not used on the JB2 Byrds Tribute prototype) are no longer available. We finally sourced an alternative set of cool knobs, but because of the custom build, they're delayed by at least six weeks. We hope this is the last roadblock, but unfortunately, there are no guarantees.

The write-up on the aforementioned Summer NAMM show:

Janglebox The Byrds 45th Anniversary Tribute
A variation on the Janglebox 2, the Tribute model adds a Tone control so the JangleBoost has separate Tone and Gain knobs, opening up a wider range of tones that are still grounded in the chimey, bright, jangly sounds of the original. The very first prototype was finished just prior to the show, so the company expects late summer or early fall availability.


Sounds pretty cool !!
