  Limetone Audio, a Japanese handmade brand with a high rating for its beautiful design and meticulous sound, has released a new compressor and distortion pedal!
  The "focus flat tuning" compressor pedal pursues compression that does not spoil the nuance of your performance.

  The "JACKAL MIDNIGHT ADD CBF" is a distortion pedal that produces a powerful and articulate sound while maintaining the nuances of the original sound and picking. In addition to supporting drive/preamp 2-mode switching for use in a wide range of situations, it has dry mix and low-pass filter functions that were not available in the previous model. The new model has controls that are effective for clean sounds, further expanding the range of sound creation.

  HOT RUBBER MONKEY from high-end effects pedal brand J. Rockett Audio Designs has been renewed and newly introduced as "HOT RUBBER MONKEY V2"!

Focusing on the low-mids, it delivers a rich tone that ranges from a core yet delicate sound to a punchy, fat sound. Using the best NOS parts has also resulted in a dramatic improvement in touch sensitivity and response speed compared to the previous model. This is the long-awaited re-release of a pedal that is easy to handle from clean to drive and produces the rich expression typical of Dumble-style amps!
