In what seems to be becoming a popular trend for pedal manufacturers recently, 
TEEN's 2016 album Love Yes is a playful aural kaleidoscope that follows in the footsteps of imaginative, brainy, NYC based pop bands like The Talking Heads and They Might Be Giants. In the NYC scene, these ladies are a force to be reckoned with, relentlessly prolific and musically always interesting. We ask main guitarist/songwriter Teeny Lieberson a quick question about stompboxes.... Click on the title for more

Dilly Dally is not a new band in the Toronto scene (they were born in 2009), but it's one of those rare ones that get better with time. 2015 was their year, thanks to their deliciously noisy debut album 'Sore,' a record that aims straight at the hearts of those who can relate to a perfect balance of fuzz, melody and slacking attitude - as well as those who, like us, miss like crazy the early Pixies (in this regard, check out single 'Desire')....

Cecilia Della Peruti is a creative force to be reckoned with in the LA scene. Her band Gothic Tropic's musical output could be seen as a permanent effort to defy categorizations: disparate influences like rock, pop, ambient, African melodies and even jazz find a place in her repertoire without affecting its cohesiveness. The lady is also an accomplished guitarist and she's very well versed in stomping on guitar pedals, so we asked her to send us a picture of it.... Click on the title for more

Iowa based Hungry Robot Pedals has been active since 2012, with owner Eric Laverne Junge slowly refining its rigorously hand made stompboxes, and gradually shifting his attention from effects belonging to the gain realm to more sophisticated and experimental ones dealing with ambiance....

We've seen our fair share of interesting use of guitar related gear, but, honestly, the idea of a classical guitar associated with garage rock never crossed our mind. Enter 
Keith Vonderhulls, the mind behind the beloved Build Your Own Clone idea, has launched another guitar pedal-related company called Big Tone Brewery. One of their best designs comes in the form of a stereo vibrato – dubbed the Maggie. Designed as an emulation of the legendary Fender Magnatone 280 in mind, the Maggie offers simple controls, and very warm analog tones.... Click on the title for more

Power girl band (or girl power band?) The Beaches made quite a splash last year in Toronto. In honor of our upcoming first Toronto Stompbox Exhibit, we asked guitarist Kylie Miller to tell us about her favorite guitar pedals... here's what she had to say!
"Here’s my pedal board, pretty simple rig going on. For my main sounds, I use a modded Big Muff and an overdrive (Lexi by DMB Pedals ) which sounds like a Marshall amp. My new favorite pedals on my board are my [EQD] Bit Commander and my 1974 MXR Phase 90 pedal. The Bit Commander is a badass octave fuzz made by EarthQuaker Devices that sounds like a quirky mix of Jack White and Tame Impala. It bulks up any riff or solo. I rarely use the Phaser pedal, but it has a super authentic 70’s psychedelic sound that I love. It can be heard quite distinctly on our track “Zsa Zsa”, off of our second EP, “Heights.”"...

If you think three years of age is too young to work in the family business, Ryan Ratajski of Fuzzrocious Pedals begs to differ. Together with his wife, painter Shannon, he's been designing stompboxes since 2008, letting Kaeden (6) and Raeven (3) paint the “kidpainted” pedals, which are highly recommended for those who enjoy turning knobs blindly....
