New Pedal: Fuzzrocious Tyrannochorus Fuzz + Chorus

If, at first sight, you thought that the Fuzzrocious Tyrannochorus was a traditional four-knob chorus pedal, welcome to the club.

Spaceman Meridian Modulator

Although delay by itself is a very popular effect for guitar, a very short delay also constitutes the core of a series of other effects in the modulation realm. With its delay range between 0.8 and 0.50 ms, the Spaceman Meridian represents an exploration of all these delay-based effects, that…Click on the title for more

Spaceman Meridian Modulator

The MXR Uni-Vibe is a bread-and-butter but great-sounding 3-knob stompbox with chorus/vibrato switch in a compact case.

Thorpy FX The Deep Oggin Chorus

Lately, creative (and crazy sounding) effect pedals have dominated most "Best of" lists - whether year-end ones or NAMM-related ones. Yet, some more traditional pedals are still able to make the cut just because of how good they sound. Enter Thorpy FX's The Deep Oggin chorus, selected by Reverb's Andy…Click on the title for more

Nux Mini SCF (Stereo Chorus)

I'll have to admit that initially I didn't pay too much attention to the new mini pedals released by NUX, like the NUX Mini SCF. They seemed like the rehashing of Mooer models from the early '10s. Then I realized something: these little babies are stereo! Did I ever see…Click on the title for more
