Manufactured in the framework of the „Twangtone by BSM“-line, the Powderfinger steps up to enable you to get that often acclaimed but seldom achieved guitar sound of Neil Young. Fully appreciating that the setup that Neil Young has put together for himself over the years may be unpractical and/or impossible to realize for most other guitar players, BSM has developed a pedal that puts every guitarist in the position to approach that Neil-Young-sound without having to call on a permanently fully cranked Fender Tweed Deluxe Amp. This approach is facilitated via the following components being included in one‘s setup:

Powderfinger

In November 1973, right before the start of the "Burn" tour, Ritchie Blackmore changed his live setup. First and foremost, he wanted to play live with an echo effect and made the AIWA TP-1011 reel-to-reel tape recorder his first choice. This unit offered the typical 1/3 seconds echo repeat, perfectly matching Blackmore's natural beat. Additionally, Blackmore used the integrated microphone pre-amp as a booster, and so his beloved Hornby-Skewes trebleboosters, he used for many years, were no longer needed and sent into retirement. The necessary trebleboost function (from a technical point of view a "highpass" function), was built into his heavily modified Marshall Major amp.

The BSM RG Rory Gallagher tribute model is basically a BSM HS-Custom, modified to nail Rory Gallaghers signature tone, known from his famous recordings like "Big Guns" or "Lonesome Highway". Compared to the HS-Custom, the RG Rory Gallagher tribute model offers more gain for a more punchy sound with a good crunch. The RG Rory Gallagher tribute model, includes the same volume control, like Blackmore's modification on his treble booster. When dialed about halfway, you will achieve Gallaghers sound from his early records like "Deuce", "Live in Europe" and "Against The Grain". If you use a guitar with PAF style humbuckers, reduce the guitar's volume from 10 to 7 and set the PRA's volume to 50% to get this earthy, rough early/mid 70's R&B sound from the "Faces" (Ron Wood on guitar and Rod Stewart's vocals).

Based on the best classic boosters, the BSM Ambassador - a germanium treble/midrange booster, is a crossover between the Rangemaster Booster, the Orange Booster and the Winston Booster. The transistors are specially selected to pass the strict internal BSM factory QC guidelines. Classic boosters never cared about the midrange, and that's what makes the Ambassador stand out - the midrange and the treble range are both inside this little box. From crystal clear highs to fat and meaty mids, it's easy to dial in all these sounds with every common pickup. With the "color" control set to midrange, a singlecoil pickup really sounds like a PAF humbucker, and a PAF like fat and overwounded humbucker. The Ambassador is loaded with a special selected original NOS germanium transistor from the 60's, like the Winston Treble Booster was.
