Grafton Electronics And Dan Armstrong Enterprises Introduce The Black Reaper Sound Modifier
January 20, 2007
Grafton Electronics, under license from Dan Armstrong Enterprises, announces a new unit to its line of Armstrong Sound Modifiers. The Black Reaper, introduced today at the NAMM Show, is the newest sound modifier added to the critically acclaimed series, which includes Red Ranger, Purple Peaker, Green Ringer, Yellow Humper, Blue Clipper, and Orange Squeezer. Each Black Reaper is carefully hand built in the United States to authentic Dan Armstrong specifications, and is now available through www.danarmstrongeffects.com.
The Black Reaper modifies the mid-range frequencies by decreasing their level, giving a richer and more rounded sound across the entire range. It is a simple to use unit that can remove higher volume mid-range frequencies to produce richer full-range level. Black Reaper is made with a hand-wound open choke coil designed by Kent Armstrong (Dan Armstrong's son and one of the foremost pickup designers in the industry). Dan Armstrong designed the Black Reaper before his death in 2004. The year 2007 marks its first production.
"I'm pleased to finally see Black Reaper in production in this form. I have been mounting it onto guitars for years and always thought it would make a great add-on to the Dan Armstrong range. This is an ideal box for both amateur and professional musicians." ...Kent Armstrong
Originally designed for electric guitars, Dan Armstrong's simple, compact and rugged accessories can plug into any electrified instrument. Each Black Reaper is built in a sturdy, attractive aluminum housing with only the finest quality components.

Dan Armstrong Effects are Back
Grafton Electronics And Dan Armstrong Enterprises Re-Introduce Armstrong Sound Modifiers
December 12, 2006
Grafton Electronics, under license from Dan Armstrong Enterprises, announces the reintroduction of Armstrong Sound Modifiers. Out of production for over 20 years, Grafton Electronics has brought these revolutionary and timeless units back to musicians around the world. Carefully hand built in the United States to authentic 1975 Dan Armstrong specifications, this series of effects units is now available through www.danarmstrongeffects.com.
"I'm excited to see my father's designs back into production," said Dan's son, kent Armstrong. "These intense yet simple modifiers have been in continuous use by respected musicians since the 1970s and I think it's great that they are available again, especially with the new adaptor and felt protector."
Originally designed for electric guitars, these simple, compact, and rugged accessories can plug into any electrified instrument. The series, comprised of six individual units, includes Dan's Blue Clipper (an excellent fuzz tone with incredible sustain), Red Ranger (a combination signal booster and tone modifier), Purple Peaker (an equalizer which introduces one or two peaks into the frequency response at specially selected frequencies), Yellow Humper (an equalizer), Green Ringer (a distortion device that produces ring modulation-type effects), and Orange Squeezer (a signal compressor that provides some 30db of clean, undistorted sustain).
Famous guitarists who have used Armstrong Sound Modifiers include Mark Knopfler, Elliot Randall, David Lindley, Kurt Cobain, Ry Cooder and Mark Mothersbaugh.
"What makes these devices so special is that the sound is even better than those manufactured in the '70s," says Chuck Wojack, founder of Grafton Electronics. "Every component we use is a modern replacement to the versions Dan Armstrong used in the originals. These boxes are producing a better, more consistent sound."
