ThereвЂ™s plenty of space round your notes, and you can dial in a subtle shimmer at low depth settings or a deep, swooshing Pink Floyd-esque tone with a more extreme setting. Usually this type of effect can obscure some of the details in your playing but thatвЂ™s certainly not the case here. Starting with the fuzz turned all the way down, the most immediately apparent thing about the Purple Moon is the way your dynamic range is maintained despite the vibrato. Give it a try if you have the opportunity! ItвЂ™s a fun pedal, with a lot of cool tones and an unusual design approach that yields interesting results that sound fantastic. Still, itвЂ™s the interaction between the two effects that offers the most promise for creative guitarists, and the top-rate tone quality and range of adjustability will no doubt keep many players happily entertained dialing up interesting sounds for hours on end. The silicon fuzz is also a winner, with its thick, saturated sustain, but the knob placement and type, along with the Purple MoonвЂ™s switching configuration make it much harder to use it independently of the vibe. For others, the combination of vibe and fuzz will give them exactly the kind of vintage flavored tones they seek.

That, plus the excellent sound quality make the Purple Moon a worthwhile purchase as a dedicated vibe pedal вЂ“ consider the fuzz a very cool bonus if you wish. Unfortunately, it does suffer a bit because of that smaller footprint in terms of the slightly cramped controls and the lack of space for separate switches for the fuzz and vibe, but the ability to switch between two vibe speed settings is something that is extremely handy, and is a feature that not a lot of other vibe pedals offer. This is an ambitious, and challenging pedal for a manufacturer to have taken on since it packs so much вЂ“ essentially two pedals вЂ“ into one reasonably compact unit, and connects them in such an unconventional way. Like the rest of the pedals in the Vintage Series, the Purple Moon features a die-cast case with itвЂ™s own special colour, mini knobs for ease of use, high quality switching, bright visible LEDвЂ™s (we recommend using a quality regulated power supply for maximum response). The Purple Moon is the only True Bypass, all analog, Vibe with Fuzz, and it is your ticket to recreating the same classic guitar sounds that inspired Carl. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 records or artists to fully develop an idea! Now, think back to Jimi Hendrix and the Band of Gypsies, Robin TrowerвЂ™s Bridge of Sighs, or almost anything by David Gilmour, and then open your creative mind to the Purple Moon! It has taken a couple years on the bench for Carl to be satisfied because it has been developed with very creative guitarists in mind. More often than not, he will find a record or artist that will inspire him to create a new pedal. Carl regularly spends some of his spare time listening to his old records from the 60вЂ™s and 70вЂ™s.
