Ibanez Debuts Tone Lok Effects Pedals

July 24, 1999 -- Ibanez new Tone Lok pedals combine metal cases, pro signal processing, competitive pricing and the exclusive Push Lok tone knobs. Commented Jon "Rapunzel" Romanowski of Ibanez Electronics who was part of the Tone Lok design team, "All of us have gigged and had tone settings changed or knobs bent or broken because someone walked over a pedal. With a Push Lok, you just set it and forget it. You push the knob down and the tone setting locks in and the knob is recessed in the body out of harms way." Continued Mr. Romanowski, "The new Tone Lok pedals feature the standard what-every-musician-needs-to-gig tones. But they also produce plenty of the whacked out sound effects favored by modern players."
