Kirk Hammet in collaboration with David Karon started a new venture – a pedal company KHDK Electronics. With a great start, KHDK released Kirk’s signature Ghoul Screamer pedal last year. It’s more of a tube screamer like pedal which not only boosts but comes with the feature of adjusting EQ. It’s not just a tube screamer but does the job of a classic overdrive pedal too.

With no surprise the pedal has Tone, Drive and Volume knobs. The innovative thing in this pedal are the five mini toggle switches for bass, treble, mids and variations of compression. It has two green LED’s that lets you know that it is engaged.

The drive control has pretty wide range from soft tone to aggressive drives. The Ghoul screamer sounds great with just the regular tone and drive control tweaking but the mini toggle switches make the tone more lively and balanced. It has Bass, Treble, Body and two compression switches.

BluGuitar amp1 is designed by the German guitarist Thomas Blug and is the founder of BluGuitar. It is a 4 channel 100 watt tube amp. It’s different from other traditional amps, especially because of its size which makes it look like a multi-effects board. It is enclosed within an aluminium chassis and has a great built quality.

It gives you wide variety of tones from jazz to metal and has characteristics of a vintage tube amp which is incredibly compact and can easily fit into your gig bag. Yes it is designed for professional use!

Then we have gain and master control knobs for overdrive tones. There is a boost footswitch in the middle for more powerful sound. With the right hand side footswitch, you can switch the reverb. The tone controls consists of bass, middle and treble. It has a small quite cooling fan that cools the power section.

Sometimes it can be really challenging to choose from hundreds of guitar pedals, especially for beginners. It’s quite easy to waste your money on unnecessary pedals and eventually you realize “It’s not the one for me”. Here we have listed six of the BOSS pedals that turn up frequently in the signal chains of the world's most appreciated guitarists.

BOSS pedals are made up of thick steel casings, silent FET switch, and non-skid rubber bottoms. These are as strong as a small tank. Each BOSS pedal has a significant color code with a LED indicator so you can tell which effect you are stepping on. Most would agree that BOSS makes one of the best pedals.

To help you choose we have selected what we feel are BOSS’s best. Just link them up before you and you will likely get all the guitar tones you want.
