Dusky Electronics: More Me Boost, Toasted Drive and Octomotron Fuzz

Based out of Durham, NC, Dusky Electronics is a relatively new manufacturer of pedals, amplifiers and speaker cabinets - incidentally, their D?O amp looks absolutely delicious and won Premier Guitar's "Premier Gear" label in 2016. But we ain't interested in amps over here, pedals only (or "petals" like our terrible intern from…Click on the title for more

Foxpedal unveils three updated V2 pedals: Magnifica, Refinery and Wrath

Born in 2013, Richmond, VA's Foxpedal follows its mission to "create products for musicians who thrive on art and beauty" through a proud no-nonsense philosophy that makes them state, in their "about us" page: We are not boutique - Well, at least in the worst sense of the word. In the guitar-effects world,…Click on the title for more

SSD Devices EVA Fuzz (demo)

We are always intrigued when we see a demo of a pedal by a manufacturer we are not aware of - in particular if the effect looks cool and has something different to it. Not much info can be found about SSD Devices, but it sounds like a UK/US collaboration (the…Click on the title for more

New (Crazy) Pedals: TWA Dynamorph

We saw this pedal by NJ based TWA (an acronym for "Totally Wicked Audio") at our NAMM 2017 mixed booth and it looked intriguing indeed, if anything for the name of its controls - there's a Kafka/Ovid switch, and a "Gestation" mini-knob! The effect's presentation is also interesting: "Distortion? Fuzz? Filter? Synth?…Click on the title for more

New Pedals: Jellyfish Electronics Murder By Fuzz (demo)

Fuzz, as an effect, seems to inspire pretty gruesome names, and fuzz lovers, who play musical genres that tend to sublimate violence through heavy hitting music, love that. On the heel of names like Death by Audio and Fuzzrocious, New Hampshire based boutique manufacturer Jellifish Electronics - which offers religiously gain related, original…Click on the title for more

New Pedals: Empress FX Echosystem

We had this baby in our NAMM 2017 Stompbox Booth and we thought you may want to check out the brand new demo video, since Empress FX's previous pedal Reverb (belonging to the same line) did extremely well. The pedal's name is Empress FX EchoSystem, and it's a dual delay. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SGkFW5nCfD4Click on the title for more

New Pedals: TWA – Hot Sake Overdrive/Distortion

https://www.youtube.com/embed/hTK2VooyrB0 Japanese engineers excel at many things, but seem to have a knack for musical instrument circuits. If they certainly outshine the rest of the world at manufacturing synthesizers (think Korg, Roland and Yamaha!), nobody can fault them for their guitar pedal creations either. BOSS (also part of Roland) is a brand known to the…Click on the title for more

Demos of the Strymon Riverside Multi Stage Overdrive

The Strymon Riverside was certainly one of the most anticipated pedals of 2016, if anything because it represented the first take on distortion from a manufacturer that was able, in recent years, to redefine the stompbox format for pretty much any other kind of effect, from modulation to delay to reverb.…Click on the title for more

JHS ventures into 500 Series studio rack format

This just came in from JHS's Youtube Channel. The 500 modules are a studio format that has the advantage of allowing more voltage (i.e. more headroom) and also more space for knobs than stompboxes. The JHS team adapted several of their signature pedals into this new format, including the ever popular Colour Box.…Click on the title for more
