Analog Alien is honored to collaborate with Joe Walsh to release his first-ever, signature, multi-effects stompbox; created in honor of his 50-year career. Joe Walsh is the legendary guitarist of The Eagles, The Barnstorms, The James Gang, The Party Boys and Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. This unique, dual effects, one-of-a-kind pedal combines two essential circuits (Compressor & Classic Amp) which Joe uses in both live performances and studio recordings. The JWDC offers studio-inspired vintage guitar tones at the stomp of a footswitch.
Great vintage amp sound.
The Classic Amp circuit emulates many of the tube amp tones Joe Walsh is known for. The Compressor delivers a detailed, studio-style compression inspired by rackmounted designs. And the Pre/Post switch allows you to place the compression before, or after, the amplifier circuit. Further tailoring your sound. Whether you’re looking for Joe’s signature tone, or just a great vintage amp sound, the Joe Walsh Double Classic is for you.
Compressor circuit.
The compression circuit in Joe Walsh’s signature pedal delivers a pristine, produced quality that shares much more in common with rackmount studio compressors than many of today’s compression guitar pedals. Whether you want a straight tone or a tone with some amplifier color, the compression circuit is completely independent of the Classic Amp section of the pedal. This gives you full access to the compressed sounds. Inspired by the hardware used at Cloud 9 Recording Studio, the JWDC allows Joe to access his studio tones wherever he is performing.
Classic Amp circuit.
The 4-control layout on the Classic Amp section makes putting together great guitar tones simple. You get just the essentials of bass, treble, gain and output – but you can easily access all sorts of different tube amp sounds. From clean and sparkling to fat and driven, a twist of the Gain knob gets you there instantly. And discerning guitarists love how the 100% analog signal path of the Joe Walsh Double Classic pedal ensures your guitar tone shines through. The Classic Amp was designed to simulate the classic tube amps that Joe has used over the years. The controls on a classic tube amp were designed to be simple and straight-forward and the same is true for the Classic Amp.
Pre/Post switch.
The onboard Pre/Post switch acts as a virtual patchbay for your compression and amp tones. With a flip of the switch, you can place the compression circuit before, or after, the Classic Amp section. Joe Walsh uses this extensively – dialing in the amp side to shape and push the compression circuit into a smoother more natural drive of its own. Either way you run it, at your disposal, you’ll have premium tones inspired by Joe Walsh.
