Updated Pedal: Champion Leccy The Skitter V3 Reverb + Trem

The Champion Leccy Skitter is back after a long hiatus, and Woolly at Champion Leccy didn't just dust off the old design, upgrading it to V3. Core concept is the same: a Belton Brick reverb with a tremolo you can route to the dry signal, the reverb, or both. Independent…... Click for more

New Pedal: Cornerstone Centurio Professional Drive

Cornerstone Centurio. Two Klon-style channels in one box, made in Italy. Sounds simple. It's not. The Klon circuit is sacred ground for a certain kind of player - that amp-pushing, clarity-preserving thing that makes everything just better. Centurio takes that DNA and gives you two independent gain and volume stages,…... Click for more

New Pedals: Klowra Budding Bloom Series

Klowra stuffed five pedals into 1590A boxes and somehow none of them feel like a compromise you have to apologize for. The five pedals in their Budding Bloom Series all share the same control layout: four knobs, a 3-way Mode push-button, a 3-way secondary toggle, and a footswitch with different…... Click for more

New Pedal: Electro-Harmonix Pico Shimmer Cosmic Reverb

Electro-Harmonix built the Pico Shimmer so you don't have to spend ten minutes dialing in a decent octave reverb. Three scenes, one knob to morph between them, and a footswitch that gives you infinite reverb on a press-and-hold. That's the whole interface. Here are the 3 Scenes: Intergalactic: classic shimmer with…... Click for more

New Pedal: Meris Ottobit X

Some pedals evolve. The Meris Ottobit X resurrects - louder, stranger, and fully reborn. Meris took the Ottobit Jr. and Ottobit Sr.—their vintage gaming-inspired glitch boxes—and injected them with enough '80s nostalgia to fill a John Hughes marathon. The result is a full stereo modular degradation engine that doesn't just…... Click for more

New Pedal: JHS Fumble JFET Preamp

Here's the thing about mistakes: some of them you bury. Some of them you put in a box and sell for eighty-nine dollars. JHS dropped the NOTADÜMBLË in May 2025—a solderless DIY kit with two circuits. One was an overdrive based on the Dumble lead sound. The other was supposed…... Click for more

Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive Handwired

Too many overdrive pedals are liars. They promise touch sensitivity but deliver a brick to the face. The Sweet Honey Overdrive (an evolution of Björn Juhl's Supro-amp-inspired BJFe Honey Bee) isn't one of them. This Handwired version is hand-soldered in Finland (with love) by the new Mad Professor team: point-to-point…... Click for more

New Pedal: Pedal Pawn Freaky Fuzz

Some fuzz pedals sit on your board like obedient pets. The Pedal Pawn Freaky Fuzz is not one of them. Inspired by vintage fuzz circuits but an original design, this thing is a three-silicon-transistor circuit hand-bred in the UK for pure psychedelic chaos, and it has exactly one purpose: more.…...

Updated Pedal: Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V3

The original SpaceTime was good. German engineering, MagTraB magnetic switching, Tap Tempo, analog dry path, warm digital repeats that didn't sound like ass. But it also required serious real estate, sported six knobs and multiple toggles, and had one fatal flaw: no tap tempo . The SpaceTime Tap V3…... Click for more
