BSM tips RPA Major for Frankfurt premier
Pedalmakers BSM will unveil their RPA Major stomp at MusikMesse in Frankfurt next week. This hot-rodded version of its RPA boasts pure gain and a hard, aggressive Ritchie Blackmoresque lead sound with all classical amps with master volume. BSM says the RPA Major represents the high gain sound of Blackmore’s mid-to-late 1970s live sound, adapted and tweaked to match the modern taste of today’s world. An EQ control gives players the ability to dial in the best possible punch with any pickup configuration. The RPA Major booster is true bypass and can be powered by battery or with the external power supply AC jack. The pedal will retail for around $400.
