Strymon debuts Sunset Dual Overdrive at Austin Stompbox Exhibit

Strymon-Sunset Strymon, at last, seems to have gotten the distortion bug - and overcome their aversion for the color red! The Californian stompbox manufacturer just unveiled their second distortion pedal ever, after 2016's Riverside Overdrive (since their birth in 2008, they had only released non-distortion pedals, developing a reputation for luscious clean sounds, although the OB.1 compressor and the Deco tape emulator featured respectively a Boost and a Saturation circuit)....

Bondi Effects 2026 Compressor Limiter

Bondi 2026 Compressor You may think that Bondi Effects is another Italian manufacturer (we covered a bunch of them as of late), but the name actually originates from an Australian aboriginal word meaning "the sound of waves crashing over rocks." Is that natural sound the precursor of fuzz? Founded in 2013 and run by husband and wife Jon and Anna Ashley, the company's raison d'être can be traced in the desire of the six string playing couple to "create the pedals we wish existed for our own rigs."...

TC Electronics Mimiq and Keeley 30ms

doublt-trackers Double tracking guitar parts has been a technique used in recording for decades (and also live actually, if there is more than one guitarist) to thicken things up. It can make guitars sound bigger, fuller, wider, and more textured. In the '60s Abbey Road Studio's engineer Ken Thousand came up with a way to "automate" that effect on vocals, while working on a record by The Beatles: he called it "Artificial Double Tracking," what today is commonly referred to as "slapback delay" (although at the time, of course, it was done using analog tape)....
