Guitar Amp Tone/Overdrive Pedal

One of our recent customers described it beautifully...

"So... Wow! they should have called this the Quimper Electronic Systems "Magic Box"! I'm kind of floored at how well it reproduces the tone of a tube amp through a PA system. Lots of manufacturers have professed to pull this off in the past, but I have always found the various pre-amp to PA products to be little more than a powered direct box. The Warm Glow actually did an amazing job of reproducing the tones of my pedalboard as they sound through my amp. This summer when I have to play festival gigs with a 15 minute hike to the stage and crappy backline amplifier, I'm just bringing my pedalboard and this to run directly into the the PA. Thanks Debra (QES CEO/Co-Founder), this pedal rocks!" - Rik Wright"

"Glow Pedals" are the "missing link" of the pedal world! The Glow Series includes 3 analog solid state amp tone/overdrive pedals that truly sound like a tube amp even when plugged directly into a PA. And yes, they also do wonders for other types of amplifiers. A good example would be using a Warm Glow to give an acoustic amp, electric amp tone and dynamics. Whatever the configuration; pedals upstream, downstream, direct into a PA, a guitar amp, DAW, or whatever, "Glow Pedals" will have you rethinking how guitar sound is done.

What else does it do?

• Studio Guitar Inputs

"Glow Pedals" are an ideal solution for studio guitar inputs and this sound clip is a perfect example. The recording was made by playing to a drum track(real drummer) and 3 additional tracks all using "Glow Pedals".

The 3 tracks are bass(Bass Glow™), rhythm guitar(Warm Glow™) and lead guitar(Warm Glow™). The only adjustments made between takes were switching from the neck pickup on the rhythm to the bridge pickup on the lead. No adjustments to the mix whatsoever. The only effect used is reverb. All you are hearing is direct "Glow Pedal" tone into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)!

An important point of this demo is that the natural tube style compression has the tendency to balance the mix. This gives post production a substantial head start by reducing fussing over tone and dynamics from the start. You can just move on to the finer points. In some cases you may forget about tweaking altogether!

• Upgrading Low Quality/Cheap Amplifiers

"Glow Pedals" are ideal for transforming even the cheesiest amplifier into a beautiful sounding tube amp! We are talking about ALL guitar amps, including digital modeling, tube, and acoustic amps! This also works with cheap computer speakers and portable stereos! Try anything! Experiment!

Use the "Warm Glow"™ or any of our Glow Pedals with your pedal board/farm as an ideal practice amp, just add any powered speaker!
