ThorpyFX Kudu Overdrive

How many different types of overdrives can one Englishman churn out? Adrian Thorpy seems determined to find out.

Coggins handed over a tweaked classic at…Click on the title for more

Native Audio Pattern Keeper Looper

The looper is a tired format. Most of them just capture and repeat—useful, boring, done. NativeAudio's Mike Trombley looked at that and asked: what if the loop kept moving? The Pattern Keeper is a phrase modulator disguised as a looper. Sixty seconds of stereo recording at 48kHz/24-bit, analog dry path,…Click on the title for more

Walrus Audio Highpoint Optical Compressor

The folks at Walrus Audio looked at the compressor section of a Neve console, realized nobody was going to tour with one, and built the Highpoint. It's an all-analog optical compressor that runs on a ±15V internal rail—double the headroom of most pedals, zero starved-voltage compromise. The result is compression…Click on the title for more

Keeley RK2000 Funk Siren Delay

In 1983, Ibanez/Maxon built something absurd: the DM2000, a 12-bit digital delay so over-engineered that it made everything else look like a toy. Forty years later, Trey Anastasio has been abusing one onstage, using its Hold function to create infinite, warbling loops called the "Funk Siren." The only problem? Vintage…Click on the title for more

Vongon Polyphrase Stereo Echo

We were very proud to host the launch of the new Vongon Polyphrase at our 10th Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit (yeah, after all what happened since our 2019 edition we kind of forgot that this was the event's ten year anniversary!).

Source Audio Pathways Multi Stereo Tremolo + Reverb

The Source Audio Pathways is a tremolo and reverb pedal that understands its lineage.
