KGB DIST distortion pedal

VALCO

ALTHOUGH ITS RUGGED looks might imply a more sinister meaning, the "KGB" in Valco's new KGB DIST stands for keyboard, guitar and bass, hinting at the unit's broad functionality. Valco is a subsidiary of Eastwood Guitars, whose pedal line is designed and built in Canada, and has thus far released several pedals and a handful of pickups. The Valco name was associated with amps branded as Supro, Oahu and Gretsch in the 1950s and '60s, but today the company is aiming for the characterful, slightly aggressive personality its name implies, and the KGB DIST's looks inspire a street cred to match.

PREVIOUSLY PART OF PRS's Maryland-built guitar line, the SE NF3 was recently reissued in the company's offshore-produced SE series. The SE NF3 is so named for its Narrowfield Deep Dish (a.k.a. DD) \"S\" pickups. These unique PRS-design units have deeper bobbins to accommodate more windings and extra metal pieces between the magnets to yield a more powerful \"single-coil\" tone, while remaining noise-free because they are in fact humbuckers. A control set consisting of master volume, tone and a five-way blade switch allows the usual selections of bridge, middle and neck pickups by themselves and the neck-plus-middle and bridge-plus-middle combinations that allow the SE NF3 to veer into Strat-like territory in switch positions two and four.
