Kent Armstrong is the second generation of guitar wizards the Armstrong family has produced, indeed Kent's own son Aaron now famously creates pickups too and Kent's father Dan ran a great guitar repair shop in New York City. With such a lineage it’s unsurprising to learn that their pickups are some of the best in the world and have been used by greats such as Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, Matt Bellamy and even members of the TonePedia team have them in some of their own favourite guitars. Kent himself worked alongside the world famous pickup designer Bill Lawrence before moving to the UK. During the 60’s Kent released a range of guitar effects which plug straight into this guitar’s input and this is one of them!
The Blue Clipper is an excellent fuzz-tone with incredible sustain. Dan Armstrong Sound Modifiers are a range of simple, compact, and rugged accessories that can be used with any electrified instrument. They are designed to plug directly into the output of a guitar or bass guitar to give the player fingertip control of the sound, but they work just as well plugged into an electric keyboard or the output of any electronic accessory.
