Musical instrument products manufacturer ToneConcepts Inc. released its first guitar pedal today, in collaboration with some of the world's best-known guitarists, Nels Cline, Vince Gill, Los Lobos, Steve Lukather, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Billy Gibbons, Alex Skolnick and Dweezil Zappa.
Since 2008, ToneConcepts Inc. has tested gear with some of the world's leading guitar players on the stage and in the studio. We've put new and vintage tones into their hands, under their feet and through their amps. In early-2013, we approached several artists with a few simple questions: What's missing? What haven't you found? What problem needs to be solved?
Pro guitarists wanted a pedal that would help them shape their tone through their own rigs or rented backlines.
The Distillery is the result.
The Distillery gives players up to 20dB of pure flexible power that sounds completely transparent. Whatever cables and pedals you run though, The Distillery will make you sound as if you're playing your guitar straight into your amp. We've also developed a sophisticated tone-shaping circuit that can give your humbuckers a singlecoil edge and your single coils some humbucker body & punch.
The Distillery has been tested and approved by some of the world's best tone-wranglers:
• Jim Campilongo
• Nels Cline (Wilco)
• Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
• Vince Gill
• Buddy Guy
• Los Lobos (David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Louie Perez)
• Steve Lukather
• Robert Randolph
• Kenny Wayne Shepherd
• Alex Skolnick (AST, Testament)
• Dweezil Zappa
