In recent years Reverb.com has become one the of biggest online retailers of guitar pedals in the US, so it's safe to say that any of their "best selling" pedal charts have a good statistical chance of reflecting the national trends.
Here at Delicious Audio we regularly publish extremely thorough shopping guides focused on one specific effect, but, frankly, there are so many fuzz pedals out there that even contemplating such task makes our head spin.... Click on the title for more
Here's the Pro Guitar Shop video of the Luna Stone TrueOverDrive 2.
"TrueOverDrive 2 is as true to transparent and tube-like overdrive as the original TOD 1. Yet it adds a serious punch in the low end frequencies, creating a beefier tone that will fill any venue with warm and fat overdrive.... Click on the title for more
Ryan McCaffrey was a firefighter in central Wisconsin when the pedal bug bit. A member of the Air Force before that, you could say he knew a thing or two about discipline.
