Hungry Robot The Monastery

One of the edgiest "emerging" manufacturers of guitar pedals, Hungry Robot specializes in effects that sound, in two words, droney and ambient-y.

Dwarfcraft Devices Memento

We saw Dwarfcraft Devices Memento's prototype at Winter NAMM 2014 and immediately liked it and blogged about it, maybe because one of our favorite effects when we were kids was to switch the guitar's pick up on and off to create some kind of controlled square tremolo effect, and this pedal…Click on the title for more
