Last week, we talked about some of the sights and sounds of the Summer NAMM Show, and I hope that you were able to get a bit of the feel and flavor of the Nashville show. This week, we hit the real highlights and feature the Bass Gear Magazine 2010 Summer NAMM Show Award Winners!
SWELL Pedal Co. – All-Tube Boost/Drive Pedals
Nashville’s own SWELL Pedal Co. had one of those booths that we found ourselves coming back to again and again. There was always someone else we had to introduce to these cool pedals! SWELL focuses almost exclusively on tube-based boost & drive pedals for bass and guitar. Their products are pretty much all the same size/layout, with the differences between models relating to the range of boost or drive the player desires. The bass pedal lineup includes the following: B-TOD v.2 (Transparent OverDrive), B-Max v.2 high-gain push-drive pedal, B-Valve v.2 mid-gain push-drive pedal, B-Drive v.2 low-gain push-drive pedal, B-Pro v.2 (basically, the B-Drive and B-TOD combined in one pedal), and the class-A XXL-Boost v.2 (designed for both bass and de-tuned guitar). All pedals are priced at $299.99, except for the XXL, which is $319.99. Whether you want to add some pleasant harmonic coloration to your rig, or whether you want to melt faces, SWELL has the pedal for you! www.swellpedals.com

SWELL Artist News – July 2010
July 6th, 2010Chris Raspante’s SWELL G-Pro is now his exclusive overdrive pedal for both live and in the studio. Chris knows TONE!
You can see and here Chris with Jace Everett (Bad Things – True Blood) via this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSSjYFPTRAQ
*Jace knows TONE too – he has a SWELL G-TOD on his pedal board.
Mark Matejka and the rest of Lynyrd Skynyrd recently flew back to Nashville to play a benifit for Flood Relief for the victims of our recent severe weather. Mark emailed me to let me know all he was bringing with him for the gig was a PRS guitar and one of his G-TODs – he has two (one for each of his pedal boards). Way to go Mark!
