Terry Quiett Band

June 30, 2010 • GtrWrks News

Dig this: A buddy of mine sold a bass rig to “some cat in some blues band” (www.terryquiettband.com) and told me he’d flipped ‘em his ’63 for them to check out.  Today I get an email from Terry the guitarist/vocalist:

“Hey!  I wanted to write and tell you what a killer pedal you’re making (as if you didn’t know)!

 My band was recently playing a show in Tulsa – where my bass player was buying an amp from a guy off Craigslist.  His name was Ronnie Galloway. We started talking gear…as gearheads do…and we showed him our ever-expanding pedalboards (my bass player and I are both addicts).  Anyway, Ronnie was talking about his friend Todd who makes pedals.  We said we’d have to check them out and he leaves.  Two minutes later he walks back in and says he has a 19 Sixty 3 pedal of yours in his truck – and having just met a few moments before – loaned me the pedal to try out.  I call it fate.

 I’ve been throwing in my chain at the last several shows and just LOVE it!  Everyone in the bands thinks it just kills my (boutique pedal).  I have to agree.  Fabulous man!”

Subsequently I listened to some of Terry’s material @ www.myspace.com/terryquiett - and they are flat-out kicking it.  I thought their blues oriented thing was cool, offering a glimpse into several diverse influences… or maybe it’s just their DNA.  These guys are laying straight out there.  Amazon and CD Baby are stocking their records – check it out.

At Last…

After assorted delays, stops & starts and an insanely busy spring gig schedule, the bV has arrived!  I’m happy to present to you the (new) bV Overdrive:

 

This OD shares the same circuit as the previous Flat Five (clean boost > throaty, singing solo tones); the only difference being that these will be regularly available for purchase (as opposed to special order/wait) and a new paint job.  A hip thing about the clean boost ability is it’s voice – the sound appears to be flat in general, yet the mids/low-mids are enhanced just enough to round out thinner sounding/twangy guitars – or perfect to use for a solo tone, even if the volume is @ unity.  Good stuff.

GtrWrks of Oklahoma is powered by years of gigging experience and an ear for tone.
