Godlyke, Inc. have added five new models to the Guyatone Micro Effects range.

Guyatone CB-3 Cool Booster can be used to boost solo passages or to distort an input signal while retaining unity gain with the bypassed signal.

Guyatone HD-3 Hot Drive Distortion amp up the distortion while still retaining note clarity. HD-3 is suited to providing singing harmonic feedback and making your combo amp sound like a stack.

Guyatone MO-3 Micro Octave is a 100% analog octave divider that offers one and two octaves down as well as a dry blend control. Three filter types and a pre-gain control allow for you to go from subtle doubling to analog synth textures.

Guyatone OD-2+ Overdrive takes the rich tube-like sound of the OD-2 Overdrive and adds additional tone shaping options by way of a Hi Cut/Hi Boost Tone control and 3-way O.D. Mode switch.

Guyatone SS-3 Sonic Shaper emphasizes specific signal harmonics, allowing the user to stand out in an ensemble or mix without having to change their volume. Can also be used as an acoustic simulator or as a clean level booster. Not really sure how this one will work or how it differs from the CB-3 to be honest.


I have a Guyatone Micro Chorus and it's a great little unit, sounds good and small enough to find a place on any pedal board. Of the five new Micro Effects, the Micro Octave is the one that sounds the most interesting to me.
