An incredible record lost to time and circumstance. Hear the Bang: The Life and Music of Denny Lile has resurfaced thanks to our friends at Fat Possum Records, Justin Kinkel-Schuster and Marvin Maxwell. CD/DVD package includes a feature length documentary on Denny filmed by his nephew, Jer Lile (Owner of de Lisle Guitar Co.)

Our string block was born out of a desire to make construction more streamlined. After doing some research, we discovered that Leo Fender had already introduced a similar plastic block on certain G&L guitars. Ours is a little different from Leo's in that it is made from 6061 aluminum or brass.

Our new design adds more mass and a "lip" around the top edge. This helps hide any paint or router imperfections that would be visible with our previous flush-mount design.

Our ferrule blocks feature a .25" radius on both ends. This allows the slot in the back of the guitar to be cut using a .5" diameter router bit with a shank mounted guide bearing (not included).

This is the same passive tone control that we use in our guitars. It's similar to the Gibson Varitone switch in function. We use a quality 6-position switch that features five frequency settings in addition to true bypass. Our design is vintage correct and a true notch filter. A "two wire" Varitone is not a proper notch filter. See the picture below for the difference in frequency response. The Pentatone switch comes pre-assembled and ready to install--just connect the the signal and ground wires. Purchase includes chicken-head knob, 6 number dial plate and the switch.

The switch diameter is 1.125". The depth under the mounting surface is about 1.175". The inductor is a .75" cube which is a attached to the switch with a couple inches of lead wire on either end.

See the specifications tab for notch frequncies.

The Pet Dragon Fuzz features a combination of BC108 and BC109 transistors. The tones are fat and compressed and perfect for singing leads. It's full bodied with a defined bottom end and a smooth top end. The Fuzz control has a nice taper-not like an on/off switch. The Level control has enough output to juice the front of your amp. Just a great version of this classic effect.

It runs on 9V battery or adapter. The DC jack has a negative tip, so it plays nicely with other pedals/power supplies.

The de Lisle MOSFET OD is a dirt pedal built by a tube amplifier company...and it sounds like it. From thick complex chords to shimmering lead tones, the sweet tube-like overdrive is sure to become a favorite on your board.

Plug in and turn up the Drive control to add some texture to your sound with light overdrive, or crank the Drive knob for full-on face melting rock & roll. The de Lisle MOSFET OD performs well at either extreme. Back off the guitar's volume to clean it up, and then dig in with your pick to push it back over the edge. The result is a natural, dynamic and open sounding overdrive.

Use the combination high/low pass filter Tone control to shape the pedal's frequency response and rich harmonics. The response is flat at 50% rotation, which allows your signal to remain transparent.

The Level pot controls the pedal's output. There's plenty signal available to drive the front end of an amp. Or turn up the Level with the Drive rolled back to boost your the signal.

The de Lisle MOSFET OD is hand-wired, made in the USA and features a lifetime warranty. And the blue LED is guaranteed to keep opening acts from stealing your mojo.

We believe this is simply the best active AB/Y pedal available. It features dual buffered and transformer isolated outputs, which means no signal loss, no ground loops, and no tone suck. And the circuit runs on an internally boosted dual rail power supply for increased headroom and clarity. We've also included a phase switch to keep amps or separate channels in phase.

Another user friendly feature - when the Y switch is engaged, the selected A or B LED will remain illuminated, so you'll know which output will be active when the Y switch is disengaged.

Our AB/Y is hand-wired in the USA with silver plated 20AWG wire and no PCB mounted jacks, switches or plugs. This pedal is built to last and comes housed in a powder coated, laser etched aluminum enclosure. As always with every piece of de Lisle gear, it's back by a lifetime warranty for your peace of mind.

The de Lisle Dual Line Driver + is a great solution for multiple amp setups with longer cable runs. It features two buffered and transformer isolated outputs to eliminate ground loops and signal loss. These outputs also have individual phase switches. The direct out can be used to feed a third amp or tuner. The circuit runs on an internally boosted dual rail power supply for increased headroom and clarity (15vpp).

Designed with feedback from Justin Adams, guitarist for Robert Plant, the de Lisle Notch Box is based on the Gibson ® Varitone circuit found in guitars like the ES-355, Lucille and Blueshawk. Our pedal version offers 6 preset notch filters for various tones along with a potentiometer to control the notch depth. There is a voicing switch that allows you to toggle between the original '59 circuit and the redesigned Varitone introduced in the Blueshawk - that's 12 linearly variable filters in all!

The original Varitone was a simple passive device, so there was a fair amount of signal loss at higher settings. To counteract this, the Notch Box has an adjustable MOSFET boost. Set it to unity gain so your the effected and dry signals are at the same level.

The Notch Box was designed with other pedals in mind, so it has a high impedance input and a low impedance output. It will fit nicely at any position on your board.

The de Lisle ABC pedal is a great solution for multiple amp setups. It enables you to safely connect a guitar to one, two or three amps at a time without introducing ground loop hum. So don't defeat the safety grounds on your amps!

It features a direct out plus dual buffered and transformer isolated outputs, which means no signal loss, no ground loops, and no tone suck. And the circuit runs on an internally boosted dual rail power supply for increased headroom and clarity. We've also included a phase switch to keep amps or separate channels in phase.

Another user friendly feature - each output has a unqiuely colored LED, so you'll know exactly which switch you're stepping even on the darkest stage. Each output is individually selectable, so you can use any combination of amps you want.

The de Lisle Amp-Speaker Selector (Version 1) was designed as a studio tool to conveniently route the output from any of the connected amplifiers to an isolation cabinet. Alternatively, a single amplifier can be paired with one of up to three individual cabinets. Signal and ground connections from the amps are isolated, and as a precaution, the unused amps see a load. Similarly, when used as a cabinet selector, jacks with no cable inserted will be switched to an internal load. So, one can use a single cabinet or two cabinets without worrying about switching to an open cabinet jack.

The de Lisle Speaker Cabinet AB Selector Switch allows you to toggle between two speaker cabinets connected to the same amp. If your amplifier has multiple output jacks for different impedance cabinets, you can connect a second output to the ALT Z jack and toggle between two cabinets connected to different impedance outputs on the same amp. There's also a remote input that will allow you to operate the switch from a distance with a simple TS latching switch.

The de Lisle Amp-Speaker Selector V2 was designed as a studio tool to conveniently route the output of up to four amplifiers to various speaker cabinets. Just connect your amps' outputs to numbered amplifier inputs on the rear panel. Then, hook up your speaker cabinets. Routing the signals is simple: the four switches on the front panel correspond to the four speaker connections. The 0-4 positions of each bank match that speaker cabinet to an amplifier (or 0 for not connected). Use multiple amps at the same time, swap speaker cabinets between amps, or connect multiple speakers to an amp in parallel. Signal and ground connections from the amps are always isolated from one another. And as a precaution, the unused amps see a load.

Save 15% with the Amp-Speaker Selector V3 and Drop Box 50W Linearly Variable Attenuator bundle! Add our transformer isolated ABC switch to route the input signal for more savings!

The de Lisle Amp-Speaker Selector V3 was designed as a studio tool to conveniently route the output of up to three amplifiers to various speaker cabinets. This version features a loop to allow a single attenuator or similar device to be easily shared between any combination of the amps and speakers.

Just connect your amps' outputs to numbered amplifier inputs on the rear panel. Then, hook up your speaker cabinets. Routing the signals is simple: the three Speaker switches on the front panel correspond to the three speaker connections. The 0-3 positions of each bank match that speaker cabinet to an amplifier (or 0 for not connected).

Connect your attenuator's input to the Send jack and its output to the Return jack. Use the front panel Send knob to connect the attenuator to any of the amps' outputs. Then, set one or more of the Speaker knobs to the return arrow icon (position 5).

Use multiple amps at the same time, swap speaker cabinets between amps, share a single attenuator or connect multiple speakers to an amp in parallel. Signal and ground connections from the amps are always isolated from one another. And as a precaution, the unused amps see a load.

The de Lisle 15W Reactive Attenuator allows you to knock your amp's volume down to a more manageable level while maintaining its natural feel thanks to the reactive load. Attenuation is linearly variable up to -20dB. Our unique design eliminates the need for impedance matching at the amp. Just connect the attenuator to your amp's 8 ohm output, then you can use any combination of cabs as long as the total load is between 16 and 4 ohms. Use the transformer isolated D.I. to go straight into your DAW and load up your favorite IRs with the ability to record silently.

It's classic tube bias modulating tremolo in a pedal! This one is packed with great features including a high voltage power supply, true bypass switching, two speed ranges and a tube buffered output.

The de Lisle Eighty-Sixed is a tube preamp born of our unique amplifier designs. The tube line up includes an EF86 pentode fronted by a 12AX7 twin-triode. This arrangement allows the true character of the pentode to be heard, since it can be driven by a larger signal than those produced by guitar pickups. And by cranking up the Gain knob, the Eighty-Sixed makes a fantastic tube overdrive pedal. No opamps, transistors or clipping diodes--what you get is 100% high voltage pentode overdrive.

The de Lisle FX Loop Router allows you to effortlessly share your FX between up to 8 amps.

Plug your FX into the rear panel FX Input and FX Output jacks. Then rotate the Amplifier dial to route your FX to any of the connected amp loops. Unused amps are placed in bypass mode to prevent noise. We've also included a front panel Bypass switch for the selected amp and a Ground switch to help eliminate noise.

The FX Loop Router runs off a standard 2.1mm/5.5mm center negative 9V supply (included). We've also provided a "daisy chain" extension jack, so you can connect external 9VDC powered devices.

This version features a loop to allow a single attenuator or similar device to be easily shared between any combination of the amps and speakers.

Just connect your amps' outputs to numbered amplifier inputs on the rear panel. Then, hook up your speaker cabinets. Routing the signals is simple: the seven Speaker switches on the front panel correspond to the seven speaker connections. The 0-7 positions of each bank match that speaker cabinet to an amplifier (or 0 for not connected).

Connect your attenuator's input to the Send jack and its output to the Return jack. Use the front panel Send knob to connect the attenuator to any of the amps' outputs. Then, set one or more of the Speaker knobs to the return arrow icon (position 9).

Use multiple amps at the same time, swap speaker cabinets between amps, share a single attenuator or connect multiple speakers to an amp in parallel. As a precaution, the unused amps see a load.

The de Lisle Pre-Amp Selector was designed to improve workflow in the studio by eliminating the need to re-cable when switching between numerous preamps and power amps.

Plug in your guitar / pedalboard and send it to any of the 4 connected preamps (or modelers) by rotating the Preamp dial. The preamp's output is then sent to the selected Power Amp. Alternatively, one could connect any line level device to the rear panel Power Amp Input jacks. So, one could be assigned to a power amp, another to a recording interface, external FX, etc. There is also an FX loop between the Preamp and Power Amp which can be bypassed on the front panel.

The Preamp Selector runs off a standard 2.1mm/5.5mm center negative 9VDC supply, which is boosted internally for increased signal headroom. Preamp inputs are transformer isolated to prevent ground loops. Unused preamps are muted at their input.

The de Lisle Amp-Speaker 4x4 Deluxe was designed to improve workflow in the studio by eliminating the need to re-cable amps and cabs. This version expands on our previous designs by incorporating simultaneous input switching and a bypassable attenuator loop.

Plug in your guitar / pedalboard and send it to any of the 4 connected amps by rotating the Amplifier dial. The amp's output is then sent to the selected speaker cabinet. We've also included an attenuator loop that allows you to easily connect your Ox, Fryette, etc. to any combination of amplifier and cabinet.

The 4x4 Deluxe runs off a 2.1mm/5.5mm center negative 12V supply, which is boosted internally for increased signal headroom. Amplifier inputs are transformer isolated to prevent ground loops. Unused amps are muted at the input and switched to a protective load.

New features for 2024 models:

There are now three options for amp input switching. DIRECT takes the front panel input and sends it directly to the input of the selected amp, bypassing any additional circuitry. This is the position for normal use. ISO, for ISOLATED, sends the input signal through an isolation transformer. This can be used to eliminate ground loops or when a low impedance output is desired. When the ground switch is in the left position, the isolation transformer is bypassed entirely and an op-amp buffer provides a low impedance output. Download the manual for the latest features and control layout.
