Grafton Electronics And Dan Armstrong Enterprises Introduce The Black Reaper Sound Modifier
January 20, 2007
Grafton Electronics, under license from Dan Armstrong Enterprises, announces a new unit to its line of Armstrong Sound Modifiers. The Black Reaper, introduced today at the NAMM Show, is the newest sound modifier added to the critically acclaimed series, which includes Red Ranger, Purple Peaker, Green Ringer, Yellow Humper, Blue Clipper, and Orange Squeezer. Each Black Reaper is carefully hand built in the United States to authentic Dan Armstrong specifications, and is now available through www.danarmstrongeffects.com.
The Black Reaper modifies the mid-range frequencies by decreasing their level, giving a richer and more rounded sound across the entire range. It is a simple to use unit that can remove higher volume mid-range frequencies to produce richer full-range level. Black Reaper is made with a hand-wound open choke coil designed by Kent Armstrong (Dan Armstrong's son and one of the foremost pickup designers in the industry). Dan Armstrong designed the Black Reaper before his death in 2004. The year 2007 marks its first production.
"I'm pleased to finally see Black Reaper in production in this form. I have been mounting it onto guitars for years and always thought it would make a great add-on to the Dan Armstrong range. This is an ideal box for both amateur and professional musicians." ...Kent Armstrong
