Ace Of Spaydes
Lounsberry's Ace of Spaydes is a captivating overdrive pedal that pays homage to the iconic blues and jazz tones of the past. Designed in collaboration with Florida-based guitarist Steve Spayde, this pedal is a masterful blend of vintage inspiration and modern innovation. At the heart of the Ace of Spaydes lies a unique circuit that utilizes FETs (Field-Effect Transistors) to simulate the warm, creamy saturation of classic vacuum tube amplifiers. The addition of MosFets in the clipping stage further refines the overdrive character, delivering a smooth and harmonically rich distortion that's perfect for soulful lead lines and expressive rhythm work. But this pedal is more than just a sonic powerhouse – it's a visual feast as well. The custom Steam Punk-inspired graphics by artist Mark Hershberger adorn the translucent gold powder-coated enclosure, creating a stunning and eye-catching design that's sure to turn heads on any pedalboard. And the gold speed knobs add a touch of elegance to the proceedings, making the Ace of Spaydes as much a work of art as it is a musical tool. Nicknamed "The Santana Pedal" by one enthusiastic customer, the Ace of Spaydes is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to capture the essence of blues and jazz while infusing their playing with a modern, dynamic edge. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a passionate hobbyist, this pedal is sure to inspire and delight.
