FOXGEAR Introduces Baroni JEVAL



In the music industry, Baroni means innovation: from classic pedals and amp circuits, to game changing marvels like the astonishing Miniamp line. After years of dedicated R&D, Baroni-Lab is able to offer uncompromising tone, quality and power (up to 200w RMS) in a pedal platform format amp.

Our same attention to quality and details is applied to our line of hand built tube amplifiers. We search the world to bring together the best of components to produce top-of-the line amps without gimmicks; pure innovation, pure quality tone.

The Baroni JEVAL is a true 150 W rms Guitar Hybrid Amplifier that boasts a dual Channel TUBE Preamp section, featuring a hi-voltage ECC82 tube that enriches sound, dynamics and harmonic content, adding warmth and a huge bottom-end response typical of real Tube Amplifiers. 

The CALM channel is designed to recreate the warmth and brilliance of Vintage Amps “blackface” era, and it’s the perfect companion to your pedalboard. The RAGE Channel is designed after our award wining GURUS NINJA preamp pedal, which recreates the classic sound of ANGRIEST higain amplifiers. 

We have fully recreated the behavior of a tube high-gain preamp section using a tube and a series of FETs configured to recreate up to Six gain stages to obtain a huge amount of gain.

Both channels have separate tone stacks. Separate Gain and Volume for each channels, plus Master Volume and master Presence complete the palette of colors available to create your perfect sound. 

Regarding the amp format, Baroni thought let’s do something different… Let’s make a Desktop/Cab Top amplifier. The JEVAL can fit on hoe studio’s desk, ready and waiting for you when you’re ready to record that killer guitar track. Also the JEVAL looks right on stage on top of your speaker cabinet.

The wooden sides are easy detachable and let you use your JEVAL on your pedalboard a a pedal, featuring a classic footswitch on its top panel to switch between the channels. 

A Remote Switching socket on the rear panel will work with any standard latching type footswitch, and let you change channels when using it as a desktop/cab-top unit. 


FOXGEAR Reproduces Benson Echorec In ECHOSEX 3°



FOXGEAR has reproduced the legendary Benson Echorec.

After four years from his launch, being awarded and used by some of the most important musicians in live shows and in their records such as: Steve Lukather, Alan Parsons, Doug Aldrich, Guy Pratt, Motorhead, Skunk Anansie, Bon Jovi, PJ Harvey, and many others, it was time for an update to our beloved Echosex.

It’s with a big pleasure that we want to introduce the newest ECHOSEX 3°, a new version of our legendary echo unit updated.

DESCRIPTION

The NEW ECHOSEX 3° reproduces a single Head of the vintage Binson Echorec but with the ability to move that head to change the delay time like a modern delay with the same vintage sound! Gurus has improved the preamp section which now runs at 262Volts (Just like the vintage Binson!) This makes for huge headroom, results in accentuating the harmonics. This improved input section is now impossible to saturate even with strongest signals from powerful humbuckers, active basses, Fx loops or Keyboards/Synths… The tone is pristine and dynamic. Gone is the “hiss” found in longer delay time settings however there’s no loss of the “dark” character of the vintage “Tape” or “Magenetic-Drum” echo units.

True bypass with golden pin relay, the unit is super quiet with no perceptible noise Plus the slightly smaller box and new “top jack” configuration will make for an easy fit into any pedalboard.

  • Peso (Weight): 0,4KG (1.5lbs)

CONTROLS

Mix Volume: Set the level of the repeats

Echo: Set the delay time, increasing counterclockwise. From 35 up to 730ms

Age of Damage: Simulates the wearing out of the mechanical parts, adding a beautiful 3D modulation until noon, up to a slight random pitch shifting at max value

Tone: it affects only the repeats like in the old Italian Echo, getting it brighter or darker, depending on how the feedback is settled

Length of Swell: feedback control. from 1 single repeat to infinite and self-oscillation

Bypass: on/off of the effect

Tap Tempo: sets the delay time, working in junction of the control 2, the LED shows the bpm as selected by the footswitch

FEATURES

A completely redesigned power section, now the tube runs at 262 Volts, the same voltage of the old Binson to increase incredibly the dynamic, Harmonics, and let you use it in any way with any instrument without saturate its input.

A redesigned and cleaned filtering offer you the same sound of the previous model, with any kind of undesired noise and a better dynamic response.

NEW “Magic Eye” effect to enjoy the psychedelic mood

TAP TEMPO: one of the most requested features over the years to let you set your delay time in the easiest and precise way. Our own tap tempo circuitry make it most precise tap option in the market, featuring a Self-Calibration setting that reads the real delay time from the brain of the Echosex to perfectly fit the exact bpm you’ve settled by the footswitch.
