The second product is called the Time Bandit.  While not an effect pedal, the Time Bandit converts audio click tracks into a tap tempo signal that will work with any delay pedal having an external tap tempo jack.  It also has a built in BPM generator with a corresponding LED display and large knob, to send BPM signals to delay pedals.  The projected US street price will be $99.95. Both pedals will be released this summer.  Stay tuned for details!   2012-02-14T19:55:49+00:00 http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/presenting_the_new_visual_sound_showroom/ http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/presenting_the_new_visual_sound_showroom/#When:16:13:56Z After months of enduring the sounds of hammers and saws, the new Visual Sound Showroom is here!  What had long been warehouse space for VS has been transformed into new offices, and a studio-quality showroom for Visual Sound products.  The room is equipped with Gibson Les Paul and ES335 guitars, Tele and Strat style guitars handmade in Holland by Eric Van de Haar, a vintage Fender Bassman and a Dr. Z Prescription Extra Strength amp. In addition, we have partnered with Jamie Scott of 3rd Power Amplifiers ( www.3rdpower.com ) to provide some of his creations.  His American Dream amp provides the tones of the '62 brown and'64 blackface Deluxe, while the British Dream model emulates the '59 AC30, and '68 Plexi.   On the floor are all the VS stomp boxes known to man, including the newest addition, the Dual Tap Delay.  Take a look, or better yet, come on by!       2011-05-16T16:13:56+00:00 http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/dallas_guitar_show/ http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/dallas_guitar_show/#When:20:54:24Z So as soon as the gang got back from Germany, they are off to Dallas.  The Visual Sound crew will be at the Dallas International Guitar Show, April 15-17th at the Dallas Market Hall.

Guitar.Com LiveLoveMusic Thanks to all that came by the booth to make this the best NAMM show in Visual Sound History. 2011-01-24T21:17:57+00:00 http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/visual_sound_gettin_ready_to_show_off_at_winter_namm/ http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/visual_sound_gettin_ready_to_show_off_at_winter_namm/#When:20:49:56Z As winter approaches and the last moments of fall unfold, Visual Sound has had a momentous year with the launch of our highly successful and critically acclaimed new line of GarageTone pedals. Along with sponsoring tours like the Vans Warped Tour and influx of many new artists like Skillet and Godsmack, 2010 has been a banner year for us around the world.  As the year quickly comes to a close, we here at Visual Sound are excited about what the new year holds. For the last 4 or 5 years Bob and RG have been in their little laboratory concocting what we believe will be their greatest creation. The tension is building as we get closer to Winter NAMM in Anaheim where we will pull the curtain back for all the world to see. This coming NAMM show will be as exciting for us as it will for all you players out there. We're going to do some cool things at NAMM, so keep checking back as it gets closer for news and announcements. Thanks for coming along with us this past year. You are the reason we do what we do... 2010-10-22T20:49:56+00:00 http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/southeastern_guitar_and_amp_show_sept._25th-26th1/ http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/news/southeastern_guitar_and_amp_show_sept._25th-26th1/#When:18:20:03Z Visual Sound will be at the Southestern Guitar and Amp show at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh NC, September 25-26th.  Meet the Visual Sound team, and play through all the latest VS gear at booth # 210.  The event is being presented by our friends at Mojo Musical Supply.  Check out the show's site, and a nice interview with guitarist Michael Landau.

As hoped, all of the pedals exceeded his expectations, and will be arriving here in the U.S later this month.  After secondary testing is performed, the GarageTone pedals will begin shipping out all over the world throughout the month of June.  So be on the lookout for the Oil Can Phaser, Drivetrain Overdrive, Chopper Tremolo, Axel Grease Delay, and Chainsaw Distortion in a store near you. 2010-05-18T21:12:04+00:00
