New Pedal: Blue Colander Astronomy Domine Reverb + Distortion

Blue Colander Astronomy Domine With its early Pink Floyd-inspired name, the Blue Colander Astronomy Domine can't possibly be a regular pedal - and it's not. Not only does this effect blend a great-sounding spring reverb with a dirt circuit, but it also provides several coloring options to create tones ranging from the classic to out-there stuff only heard before in Syd Barret's head, including a momentary self-oscillation footswitch (Crash) whose speed can be tweaked via an internal trimmer....

BOSS DM-101 Delay

The BOSS DM-101 is an analog, BBD-based pedal that confirms a few new trends in the "upper-level" stompbox industry, like the takeover of stereo and presets, but also a more granular approach to multi-mode devices: where the pedals of yesteryear gave you several types of delays (like analog, digital, tape etc), today's stompboxes offer you several flavors of the same type of effect - in this case, analog delay. ...
