The Regency is a new type of pedal designed specifically to pre-emphasize the gain stage of today's high gain amps. It features two circuits that may be used independently, or combined together to add punch, harmonics and sustain without losing articulation or oversaturating the guitar signal.

• Unique pre-drive circuit for high gain amps
• Super-hot +23dB Class-A power booster
• Pre-Drive and Boost can be combined
• Built-in effects loop activates with booster

The Pre-Drive can be thought of as a pre-distortion overdrive that can be set with just enough grit to add sustain, yet with enough gain to push the front end of the amp for more natural sustain and harmonics. It features an adjustable drive to set the amount of distortion, a tone control for tone shaping plus a drive level control to set the output volume. A 3-position Low-Mid switch rounds out the sonic structure to better focus bottom end to match your amp and guitar.

The Booster is a super-hot, 100% discrete, pure Class-A power booster that delivers up to +23dB of clean gain. This can be used for soloing or hitting the front end of a smaller amp to cause it to break up prematurely. To add even more excitement to the performance, a built-in effects-loop allows a series of pedals such as a delay or chorus to be added to the signal chain when the boost footswitch is engaged. This speeds the transition from rhythm to lead when soloing, delivering a more efficient and professional performance on stage.

The Pre-Drive and Booster are each activated with their own footswitch and both can be combined to push your amp to extremes. The actual switching is done using gold-contact sealed relays for true-bypass performance.

The Regency a new type of pedal that is fit for a king!

This pedal is at its most useful if your amp is just on the edge of break-up. Working off of that, you can get some truly mean rhythm tones from the Drive side before even going to the Boost side. The Boost works very well with a modulation and time-based effect in the effects loop to create lead sounds; alternatively, if you don't use the loop it works very well to add another layer of grind for heavier rhythm sounds or lead lines. Pros: + versatile combinations of drive + effects loop makes the Boost section an instant Solo switch + saves board space and power cabling + Low-Mid switch adds some major oomph if you need it Cons: - Pre-Drive section is not ideal going into a purely clean channel (not what it's designed for, but still)

My buddy picked me up one these a few months ago wasn’t expecting it to be great. Sat on my Shelf for week or two. I plugged it to my jcm 800 and was very impressed. The effects loop is also a cool feature. Very open sounding nice headroom. I also love the jacks being on the back of the pedal. The boost is nice it’s a boost what can I say. Great Canadian company who needs the support. Thanks Paul.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
