New Guitar Pedals From Akai Professional in Music Stores Now

Cumberland, R.I. (Sept. 14, 2011) – Akai  Professional announces that its new Analog Custom Shop line of guitar  pedals is now shipping to retailers. The collection of ten guitar  effects pedals was unveiled at the 2011 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California  this past January.

As with previous Akai Professional guitar pedals, like the E2 Headrush and SB1 Deep Impact Bass Synth, the Analog Custom  Shop line is a collection of analog guitar pedals that are designed to  exacting standards, using the highest quality components.

The Analog Custom  Shop pedals use their all-analog design to deliver the sound quality of  boutique guitar pedals. No matter the desired guitar sound or musical  genre, the Analog Custom Shop pedals have the right effect or  combination to achieve the best tone possible. They provide amazing  sound, from the studios of Nashville, to the blues clubs of Chicago, to  the heaviest of metal bands.

The ten guitar effects pedals that make up the Analog Custom Shop line are: Phase Shifter, Analog  Delay, Blues Overdrive, Chorus, Compressor, Drive3 Overdrive, Deluxe  Distortion, Flanger, Drive3Fuzz, and Drive3Distortion.

“With the Analog  Custom Shop pedals we are looking to bring ‘boutique company sound’ at a  reasonable price,” said Glen Darcey, Akai Professional Product Manager.  “We used the highest quality components in this line of guitar pedals  to create the best tone possible.”
