Re-Axe Products, The Makers of the Axe-Handler .....

The Axe-Handler has been on the market for nearly three years and yet it is still a new attraction for many.  RE-Axe Products, the creators, manufacturers, and even selling force behind the Axe-Handler have been very diligent in their product offering and the purpose behind their products.  They make everything in the United States, seriously everything they can possibly in-source they do.  The packing tape, bubble wrap, ink, boxes, marketing materials, promotional items and even the racks in the warehouses are required  to be U.S. Made.  They do admit they have one or two things that just cannot be made in the USA but hopefully with their efforts and others, this may change in the future.

Vicious Monkey Pedals are the creation of Anthony Gemignani, owner of Allstar Music Academy in Flemington, NJ. Trying to make a pedal that not only sounded good but was cool visually, Anthony has taken his childhood buddy, Curious George, and blended him with his own personality to create Vic Monk. The "Balls" Pedal is a Distortion pedal similar to the RAT Pedal with 3 different positions to choose. The "Bite" Pedal is an Overdrive Pedal that is very much like a Tube Screamer. The "Tail" Pedal is our Delay. Very smooth sounds and can get Vicious if you need it to.
