Lehle Gitarrentechnik Receives Two Premier Gear Awards from Premier Guitar

July 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Lehle Gitarrentechnik, a German-based manufacturer of high end switchers, splitters and transformers, has captured two Premier Gear Awards for the month of August with the Lehle Sunday Driver and D.Loop SGoS.

The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

The Lehle Sunday Driver is a new compact high-end preamp with two modes of operation; the Lehle D.Loop SGoS is a fully programmable effects loop switcher and an integral part of the “Second Generation of Switching” line of products.

“I’m very proud to receive the Premier Guitar Premier Gear Award, “ says Burkhard Georg Lehle, founder and chief designer of Lehle Gitarrentechnik. “This very important award will help serious musicians to choose high quality solutions for pure sound with no noise in order to achieve more tone. ‘Pure Sound – No Noise – More Tone:’ these are the basic characteristics, which are features of all my products.”

Brian Barr, author of the review, said of the Lehle Sunday Driver:
"Running the Sunday Driver between my guitar and amp using gold Monster cables, I was surprised by how well defined my tone was—my signal was stronger and clearer. At first, I couldn’t believe my ears, so I plugged my guitar directly into the amp. To my surprise, the notes just sounded dead by comparison with the unmodified signal boost provided by the Sunday Driver. Plugging it back in, I could hear that my ears weren’t deceiving me; my overall tone was better."

Barr on the subject about the Lehle D.Loop SGoS:
"I’ve never come across gear of this type that offers as much functionality between each and every unit, and with the simplest MIDI programming I’ve ever encountered. These pedals improved my tone and breathed new life into a growing pedalboard setup. I couldn’t stop myself from imagining all the pedal combinations I could get with two D.Loops."
