Epiphone 7-string Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins Electric Guitar - Ebony
Epiphone is proud to introduce the Matt Heafy Les Paul™ Custom Origins 7-String, our newest signature model designed in partnership with Trivium’s extraordinarily talented Matt Heafy. It features a pair of custom-voiced Fishman Fluence® pickups, each of which delivers three distinct tones. The Alnico neck pickup provides a modern, active, high-output Alnico humbucker™ sound; a crisp, clean, and fluid neck humbucker sound; and a glassy, scooped, hi-fi single-coil sound. The ceramic bridge pickup offers a choice of modern, active, high-output ceramic-humbucker tone; high-output, passive ceramic-humbucker tone; and a cutting, overwound single-coil tone. Push-pull volume and tone pots put all these incredible sounds right at your fingertips and make it easy to explore the expansive sonic palette this guitar offers. The maple-capped mahogany body has modern weight relief for hours of comfortable play, and the mahogany neck has a fast-playing SpeedTaper™ D profile and a contoured heel for exceptional upper-fret access. Gold hardware, including locking Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners with Tulip buttons, and classic Les Paul Custom cosmetics make this a standout guitar on stage. Available in Ebony and Bone White gloss finishes in both right- and left-handed configurations. A custom hardshell case is included.
TWA OCTOVERDRIVE
Just in time for Halloween, the TWA Octoverdrive features a 100% original drive circuit coupled with an analog Octavia.
Like Frankenstein’s Monster, cobbled together from discorporate parts and then electrified back to life, the heart of the Octoverdrive hides archaic, undead components that should not create sound – and yet, it lives!
Cursed to clip for all eternity using a set of selenium rectifiers, the Octoverdrive offers two channels of diabolical dirt:
TREAT – A thick, harmonically rich tube-like drive with the perfect degree of compression. Treat goes from creepy crunch to ghoulish gain with eerie ease.
TRICK – Adds a haunting, high-octave harmonic to the drive signal. Unlike other Octavia’s, the Octoverdrive retains low-end while boosting output level, effortlessly raising your guitar tone from the grave.
The Octoverdrive also features a 3-band cut/boost EQ circuit to hack & chop your tone to pieces. For the faint of heart, there’s a Dry Blend control to add a touch of purity to the Octoverdrive’s evil goodness.
KittycasterFX Groovy Wizard Fuzz Driver
The Groovy Wizard Fuzz Driver is for all you wizards of guitar that have been searching for the most dynamic, touch-sensitive fuzz to drive your amp whether it is set clean or overdriven. Groovy Wizard’s open and transparent response lets the character of your guitar and amp shine through while accentuating every playing nuance. The wide ranging controls go from boost to amp-like touch-sensitive overdrive all the way to raging fuzz! And it was specifically designed to extend the range of your guitar's volume control - from amazing cleans, to tight overdrive, all the way to raging fuzz - all by merely turning your guitar's volume control and varying your picking attack.
Adapted and extended from a classic ’60’s two-transistor console preamp circuit originally associated with Jimi Hendrix, the Groovy Wizard is not a mere clone, nor is it a fuzz face. The circuit was modified and voiced from the ground up to achieve the perfect sound + response. Utilizing a combination of a PNP germanium transistor coupled with an NPN silicon transistor running at up to 18 volts, the Groovy Wizard has a greatly increased range of gain from clean to fuzz, more tonal control, bigger soundstage and punch, and more transparency to create the perfect fuzz driver for any musical style or rig.
This is your always on dirt pedal!
