Monger Pedals named it the Little Guy. Probably to lower your expectations before it melts your face off. This is a dual-effect box that pairs an OTA-based phaser with an op-amp fuzz. Two circuits that could live on separate boards, wedged into a single enclosure, because apparently Monger believes in…Click on the title for more

The original TONEX ONE (blurb below) was already a marvel: AI Machine Modeling, hyper-realistic amp captures, and a full rig's worth of tones in a box barely larger than a matchbook. But it had one glaring limitation. To edit presets, load new Tone Models, or organize your sounds, you needed…Click on the title for more
Updated Pedal: IK Multimedia TONEX ONE+
JHS has expanded its 3 Series line with three new pedals: the Bit Crusher, the Glitch Delay, and the Ring Modulator. Each follows the 3 Series formula of three knobs, one toggle, and a $99 price tag, but the sounds inside are anything but basic. Bit Crusher The Bit Crusher…Click on the title for more

How many different types of overdrives can one Englishman churn out? Adrian Thorpy seems determined to find out. The ThorpyFX Kudu started as a modified circuit gifted to Thorpy by Dan Coggins—the legendary Lovetone wizard who's been making guitarists poor since the 90s. Coggins handed over a tweaked classic at…Click on the title for more
New Pedal: ThorpyFX Kudu Overdrive
Empress Effects, a Canadian builder known for making pedals for people who read manuals for fun, hasn't entirely shied away from dirt boxes: their Heavy Menace is a precision kill box. But a loose, interactive overdrive? That seemed beneath them. Until they patched a discontinued Germ Drive circuit into the…Click on the title for more
New Pedal: Empress Effects Drive
Three years ago, we made a plan. Ten videos with synth influencer Liam Killen, breaking down the best synth pedals by effect type. Nice and tidy. What could go wrong?. Everything. In the best way possible. That tidy little series spiraled into a two-and-a-half-year obsession. We dove into multi-modulation, got…Click on the title for more

Portland's Catalinbread built its reputation on the Dirty Little Secret, a Marshall-in-a-box that conquered high-gain British roar. But every coin has a flip side. the Clean Little Secret is that flip, a low-gain foundation overdrive inspired by the Bluesbreaker, the combo amp that basically invented the "edge of breakup" before…Click on the title for more
New Pedal: Catalinbread Clean Little Secret
A thousand dollars. For a delay pedal. Let that sink in. Here's the thing, though. Joel Korte and his team and John Snyder (Electronic Audio Experiments) have built something that actually justifies the price tag. The Chase Bliss Big Time isn't another digital delay with fancy marketing. It's a painstaking…Click on the title for more
New Pedal: Chase Bliss Big Time Stereo Delay
Athens isn't the first place you think of when someone says "cranked British amp." But Tsakalis AudioWorks is making a strong case for reconsidering that assumption. The AC Master is two classic circuits sharing a single enclosure: a VOX AC30 Top Boost overdrive and a Rangemaster-style treble booster. Not a…Click on the title for more
New Pedal: Tsakalis AC Master Boost + Overdrive
The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 with Tone Wicker is not a polite fuzz. The "Tone Wicker" isn't a gentle EQ boost; it is a set of sonic bolt cutters designed to rip the blankets off your amplifier. The NYC builder pioneered this feature to solve the Big Muff’s most…Click on the title for more

Strymon built a reputation on digital wizardry—big boxes, deep menus, endless presets. But behind all that DSP lives an analog team that's been quietly designing circuits nobody gets to see. Times are a-changing. The Series A line is the company's outlet for analog dirt boxes. No MIDI. No USB. No…Click on the title for more
