Summer NAMM 2017: MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe heads up Jim Dunlop’s 10-strong pedal line-up
Way Huge Doubleland, Booster Mini and Jimi Hendrix pedals galore
SUMMER NAMM 2017: Jim Dunlop has outdone themselves this summer, with offerings aplenty from MXR, Way Huge and Dunlop.
Headline-grabbers are the Carbon Copy Deluxe analogue delay and Echoplex-aping Booster Mini, as well as signature wahs for Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler and Jimi Hendrix, the latter in the form of a mini version.
Hendrix also nabs four more signature pedals, which leave no tone left unturned, while Way Huge doubles up its Bonamassa Overrated Special and bassists get a sub-octave fuzz. Phewph.
We’ve caught wind of a few RRPs and availability dates for these, but not all. Head on through the gallery for all the available info, and visit Jim Dunlop for more info.
