Watch as Dinesh demos the new Epiphone Pre‑War SJ‑200 Rosewood Reissue acoustic guitar from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom collection, featuring a thermally aged solid spruce top, solid rosewood back, and a two‑piece maple neck with a rosewood stringer and round‑D profile, presented here in a Vintage Sunburst finish.
After the Gibson SJ-200 was introduced in 1937, it quickly earned the title “The King of the Flat-Tops” thanks to its majestic appearance, superior sound, and exceptional projection. The earliest models featured rosewood back and sides, later replaced by maple in 1947. Due to limited post-Depression demand, very few pre-war SJ-200s were made — making rosewood-bodied originals highly prized by today’s collectors.
Now, Epiphone and Gibson Custom have partnered to create the Epiphone Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood Reissue, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of this rare vintage icon. It features solid rosewood back and sides, a thermally aged solid spruce top with traditional scalloped X-bracing made from quarter-sawn spruce, and a two-piece maple neck with a rosewood stringer and Round D profile, attached via a glued-in dovetail joint.
The ebony fretboard features mother-of-pearl graduated Crown inlays and 20 standard frets. Additional vintage-style appointments include an SJ-200-style pickguard with traditional graphics and an ebony open two-bar Moustache™ bridge with mother-of-pearl inlays. The nut, saddle, and bridge pins are all bone.
The Gibson “open book” headstock features a vintage Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown in aged mother-of-pearl, along with a stinger and Inspired by Gibson Custom Double Diamond logo etched on the rear.
For modern stage and studio needs, it comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze VTC pickup and preamp, with soundhole-mounted controls — all housed in a Red Line-inspired hardshell case featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics.

Death By Audio Announces Triple Release: Crossover Fuzz In Black & Limited White, Plus The Photo Modulator
QUEENS, NEW YORK, AUGUST 2025 - Death By Audio, the Queens-based noise-wranglers responsible for some of the world’s most radical effects, are kicking down the doors with not one, but three new product releases: the Crossover Fuzz in standard black, a limited Reverb-exclusive white edition (150 units worldwide), and the Photo Modulator, a light-sensitive expression controller.
CROSSOVER FUZZ: Fuzz So Heavy, It Had to Be Split
The Crossover Fuzz is more than a fuzz box - it’s a dual-band fuzz engine with linked resonant filters, independent gain and volume controls for highs and lows, and a reactive LED display that shows you where your sound is being torn apart.
By splitting your signal into highs and lows, the Crossover Fuzz allows you to sculpt frequencies, annihilate them, or sling them across amps in stereo for massive, spatial tone. CV/expression control enables you to sweep the crossover in real time, turning EQ into an instrument of its own. From subtle tone-shaping to oscillating chaos, this is fuzz re-engineered for the future.
"At first I was just psyched about fuzzing out different frequencies with this thing. But once we pushed the design further and further, I realized it had become the ultimate fuzz destroyer - massive, mean, and alive."
Oliver Ackermann, Founder & CEO of Death By Audio
KEY FEATURES
Dual-Band Fuzz - Separate gain and volume for highs and lows.
Dual Linked Filters - Sweepable high-pass and low-pass filters with resonance.
Flexible Routing - Mono, stereo, or multi-amp setups with unique ins/outs.
Expression/CV Input - Modulate the crossover frequency in real time.
Reactive LED Display - Stage-ready visuals that shift with your filter position.
TECH SPECS
Dimensions - 5.73” x 5.2” x 2.37” (including hardware)
Weight - 18.5 oz
Power - Standard 9V DC (2.1mm, center-negative). Optimized for use with Death By Audio’s Raw Power power supply.
Current Draw - 120 mA
Lifetime Warranty
USA Retail Price - $320
The standard black edition will be available through Death By Audio dealers and deathbyaudio.com, while the limited white edition drops exclusively via Reverb, capped at just 150 units. Both variations will be available worldwide beginning Tuesday, August 19th, 2025 at 11AM EST.
PHOTO MODULATOR: Turn Light Into Control
The Photo Modulator is an ultra-compact expression accessory that swaps your foot for light. Plug it into any expression-compatible pedal, aim the sensor at a light source, and watch as brightness sweeps your parameters like an invisible hand on the treadle.
Bright light = toe down. Darkness = heel down.
Using a passive photoresistor circuit, the Photo Modulator is compatible with DBA staples like the Rooms, Evil Filter, and the new Crossover Fuzz, as well as countless other expression-ready pedals. No batteries required, no fuss - just pure, reactive chaos in a device the size of a right-angle jack.
KEY FEATURES
Light-Sensitive Expression - Control pedals using any light source.
Ultra-Compact Form - Built directly into a ¼” right-angle jack.
Passive Circuit - No power required.
Wide Compatibility - Works with most expression inputs.
TECH SPECS
Dimensions - 2.6” x 1.9” x 0.6”
Weight - 0.9 oz
Power - None required (passive circuit)
Warranty - 30-day return policy (not covered under lifetime warranty)
Regulatory Restrictions - Not available for sale, shipping, or distribution in the European Union, United Kingdom, China, Korea, or Taiwan.
