Aguilar Pedals Have Arrived

Jive Sound has just got in a shipment of the new Aguilar TLC Compressor and Octimizer pedals, along with Tone Hammers.

The TLC Compressor™ features a four-knob layout to provide a full set of important features. Using a wide range of attack times and variable threshold and slope levels, you’ll be able to dial in just the right sound. Aguilar’s TLC Compressor™ gives you a range of control usually found only in expensive studio compressors.

The Octamizer™ features independent volume controls for both the "Clean" and  "Octave" sounds, so dialing in the exact amount of each is a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities.

 
More Tone Hammers Arriving

Another batch of Aguilar Tone Hammers will be arriving this week. Call or e-mail us to order one.

 
More Effects and Accessories Added

Jive Sound has once again expanded it's effects and accessories by adding the ever so funky effects of Chunk Systems such as the Octavius Squeezer and Agent 00Funk. We have also added the quality pedals of Guyatone. Jive Sound also carries the lightweight, protective, and practical Mono gig bags. We will be continuing to expand our effects and accessories, so check back with us to see what is in the works. Stop in, call or e-mail for more details.
