Summer 2009 issue of Guitarist is out NOW in all good UK magazine retailers (Jeff Beck on the cover). Check out page 127 for their review of the TwinStomp Active A/B-Y pedal.

 

TwinStomp BOOSTER - BEST EFFECTS PEDAL 2008 - Guitar & Bass Magazine - Gear of the Year December 2008 Issue.

 

The TwinStomp ACTIVE A/B-Y pedal was launched at MUSIC LIVE - NEC 7-9 November 2008 to a great reception.  Production is now in full swing to meet ever increasing demand.  Guitarists are finding the ACTIVE A/B-Y opens up a whole new range of possibilities for what can be done with their existing gear.

 

TwinStomp BOOSTER was launched in July 2007 to fulfil the need for that VINTAGE DRIVE into a no frills vintage valve amplifier.  You have got a great guitar and a great amplifier so why not enhance it with a GREAT PEDAL.  If you love simple rigs that are designed by engineering guitarists for playing guitarists you will love the TwinStomp BOOSTER and the new TwinStomp ACTIVE A/B-Y.

"Performing Musician" Review

The TwinStomp BOOSTER is featured in the reviews section of Performing Musician, March 2008 (Download pdf file).  Bob Thomas gave us a great write up, and rightly said that the TwinStomp Booster currently has no competition.  However some comments about the case construction were incorrect and the following additional article was published in Performing Musician, April 2008.

"TwinStomp update - Pedal's unique stainless steel casing

Much as we loved the TwinStomp MOSFET boost pedal reviewed in the March issue, I daresay we'd have loved it even more if we'd fully appreciated the unique features of its casing.  Far from being silver painted as we suggested, the pedal's rugged industrial look casing is, apparently, made from non-magnetic stainless steel by a UK company using the Lost Wax Process  (a method also used to make bronze sculptures).  With this process, what you see is what is cast, so the lettering of the logo and all legending is cast in the foundry and the external finish is bead blasted washed and buffed, rather than painted, so it won't become scratched or worn with use,

The zinc alloy material typically used to make conventional die-cast pedal enclosures would not be strong enough to allow the unique design of the outrigger-feet that permit the TwinStomp to be directly secured to a pedalboard, further endorsing the choice of steel for the impressively weighted enclosure."

User Reviews

        "Its just arrived Adam.  You’ve probably heard this before, but first impressions were “what have I bought now in the never ending search for tone”

I’ve got an old Marshall stack from the progressive rock days with Kraken, an AC30, Fender blues junior and the new valve Line 6  212.

Your unit is like pulling back a foot thick fibreglass panel away from the front of the amps. I am rather impressed.

And that’s just after 30 mins.

Ta mate. Well worth waiting for and I hope you do as well as you deserve to next year.

Other Comments

TwinStomp BOOSTERS have been used by guitarists for some time and here are some of their comments.

"Great sound with confidence, I'm even able to get the full works using the LOW input on my JCM800."

"Wow! I practise with a Laney LC15R and it is now possible to get a full range of sounds with a simple set up. Playing is a joy when the sounds are so easy to achieve.  Keep up the good work."

"I tried this pedal out with a 1958 Hofner Senator (very crude low output pick-up).  What a difference.   I'll be playing this guitar a lot more now."

"This is the best engineering I have ever seen on a boutique pedal and I've seen a few."

"Thanks for the use of the prototype.  Here's my order for Production Serial # 1."
