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!

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

There's only one thing that's more powerful than passion: two of them at once! There are many guitarists who are so into fuzz pedals they can't stop buying new ones that (to the uninitiated) sound ever so slightly different than other ones they already own. It's safe to assume that a considerable percentage…Click on the title for more

Based in Albany, Oregon, Pettyjohn Electronics is a new-ish face in the community of boutique pedal manufacturers, but one that is receiving a certain amount of attention (and flattering reviews).
