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 on the title 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 on the title 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 on the title 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 on the title 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 on the title 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.…Click on the title for 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 on the title for more

New Pedal: Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon

Crazy Tube Circuits, a Greek company that apparently learned electronics by staring at the sun and listening to Blue Cheer records, built this three-panel monster. It's not a pedal. It's a manifesto in a metal box. Enter the Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon. Four fuzz voices in the center panel: ff is…Click on the title for more

Argonaut Electrical Overdrive

Born in the 1970s when men were men and circuits were stuffed with components the size of your thumb, what you find inside the Argonaut Electrical Overdrive was a modular plug-in thing that some German engineer probably threw together after three beers, accidentally creating the sound of God clearing His…Click on the title for more
