Axe... And You Shall Receive

Just a head's up that We will be offering some really killer Pro audio equipment over the coming months. Starting with D.W. Fearn / Hazelrigg Industries...

D.W. Fearn was started by Doug Fearn, who opened up his recording studio in 1969. Shortly after he began building his own equipment, leading to the creation of the VT-1 Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier in 1993. He's been building world renowned mic preamps, equalizers and compressors for over 50 years that have been used in studios all over the world.

In 2017, after years of apprenticeship on the workbench and in the studio, brothers Geoff and George Hazelrigg of Hazelrigg Industries assumed D.W. Fearn's manufacturing. The Hazelrigg brothers have been working in live performance and production for years, and design and build the highest quality studio equipment with the artist's goals and challenges in mind, so we couldn't really think of a better team to take over D.W. Fearn's manufacturing and business.  Doug Fearn continues to act as the principal product designer and serves as a consultant to the Hazelriggs. All D.W. Fearn and Hazelrigg equipment is built in Bucks County, PA.

In addition to the sweet 500 Series line-up (in stock), Hazelrigg's 4DI 4 Channel Direct Box, VNE Single Channel Vacuum Tube Compressor and VLC Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamp/DI/EQ Line Processor are among the offerings we will bring in on a custom order basis.

Their VDI DI Box (in stock) is perfect for the discerning musician who's invested heavily in guitars and effects and wants a DI that will preserve and highlight all that warmth and character that can get lost when going through a less worthy DI box.

Thorpy is offering something celebratory and a little different in honour of their tenth anniversary year. There are very few of these available but for a short period we are offering the pink and hammertone finish option.

From his origins in an 8’x10’ unheated basement shop, all the way to designing circuits for Dunlop and Electro Harmonix, Johnny Wator has driven Daredevil as a true labor of love and obsession. After over a decade of touring in a band, the desire to create his own tones led to the development of the brand and the first line of pedals available in 2012.

Initially building old school point to point and strip board circuits, the Daredevil roots lie in an affection for vintage circuits from the 60’s & 70’s, big ol’ hand wired tone machines. Almost all of Daredevil pedals are original design circuits that capture something unique, and fill a sonic void in Johnny’s personal quest for musical expression. The continual cycle of seeking out new ideas and approaches to classic tones for the modern age.

We value Rock n' Roll above most everything else, so Johnny's pedals were a perfect fit for AAYSR.  Checl them out here.
