Old Blood Noise Excess V2 Distortion + Modulation

The Old Blood Noise Excess V2 updates the '80s-flavored (pink) modulated distortion pedal by the Oklahoma company with a case that's 1/2 the size of the original unit and updated features, including a selectable harmonized fifth mode (which was there but "hidden" in V1) in the modulation channel. This is a…Click on the title for more

Pigtronix Echolution 3 Multi-Tap Stereo Delay

NYC's Pigtronix has released a lot of different pedals since its launch, but none has gone through as many variations and evolutions as the appropriately named Echolution, a stereo Multi-Tap pedal with modulation and, in some versions, filter. Today the company announced the Pigtronix Echolution 3, which expands the delay…Click on the title for more

Meris LVX Stereo Modular Delay

The Meris LVX is the long-awaited first release in over two years by one of the most interesting (and successful) new pedal companies to emerge in the late '10s, born from a rib of Strymon. As expected, it's a heavily featured stereo pedal, and more precisely, a multi-algorithm delay/looper with…Click on the title for more

Pigtronix Constellator Mini Analog Delay

The Pigtronix Constellator is one of three new mini-pedals released by the NYC-based company at (virtual) NAMM 2021. Based on a MN3005 bucket brigade device chip, this is an analog delay with modulation that can get rather spacey. It provides tape-like saturation and it's prone to self-oscillation at maximum feedback…Click on the title for more

Source Audio Nemesis Delay

At NAMM 2015, Massachusetts based pedal manufacturer Source Audio introduced an unprecedented number of new products, and a rather surprising change of direction in the cosmetics department: known for their Soundblox series, which were rather "sci-fi" looking pedals, the Source Audio decided it was time to switch to a more…Click on the title for more

Old Blood Noise BL-44 Reverse

The Old Blood Noise BL-44 Reverse is a new release by a boutique company that more than others has been leveraging the fascination for reverse effects through popular textural pedals like the Rever and the Minim.

Way Huge Aqua Puss MkIII (Smalls Series)

With its original, bigger brother selling used for a small fortune, this mini version of the analog delay, Way Huge Aqua Puss MkIII, could be considered a bargain, although the maximum delay time is only 300ms. It definitely does the job of adding depth and dimension to your tone, with…Click on the title for more

NUX Analog Delay

In the past couple of years, Chinese pedal maker NUX has been releasing some not too subtle (and incredibly affordable) clones of several best-selling classic stompboxes under the rather misleadingly named "Reissue Series" (uhm, reissues of pedals... made by other builders?). Nothing wrong with cloning (almost everyone does it) we…Click on the title for more

Xvive Echoman Delay

Clones are nothing new in the stompbox-sphere, but it's always a little surprising to stumble upon pedals that look and sound so similar to classic ones we are so familiar with. In the case of the Echoman, though, the story is more nuanced than you may expect... The Xvive Echoman…Click on the title for more
