29 Pedals FLWR Overdrive

The 29 Pedals FLWR is the first "almost normal" pedal (in this case, a dirt box) by a Californian company whose previous products walked the line between utility boxes and signal conditioners. The "almost" in the previous sentence is due to the pedal's semi-modular nature. Like many modern gain pedals,…Click on the title for more

Way Huge Geisha Drive Smalls

The new Way Huge Geisha Drive is limited-edition Smalls series version of an older, larger pedal that gained a following in the late '2010s for its ability to let you dial in anything from a gentle hint of saturation to full-on distortion.

Isolate Audio RATATATAT

Hailing from Australia, the Isolate Audio RATATATAT is a modern take on a classic distortion circuit with a similar name but fewer "A"s and "T"s, and some intriguing new features.

Crazy Tube Circuit White Whale V2 Spring Reverb

The Crazy TTube Circuit While Whale V2 is in all likelihood the most tweakable real spring reverb out there (and by "real" we mean to say that it has actual springs under the hood, hence the size).

Krozz Devices Krakenheart Uni-Vibe

The Krozz Devices Krakenheart is a modern take on the vibe circuit by a Brazilian company that already received a lot of praise for another analog modulation pedal, their Airborn flanger.

Meris Ottobit Jr. Bitcruser/Sequencer/Stutter Pedal

The Meris Ottobit Jr. is presented as 'a maniacal little machine, inspired by vintage gaming consoles' - or, if you wish, an 8-bit pedals on steroids: a stereo “Audio In >> Video Game Out” device that lets guitarists employ synthesis techniques and bitcrushing to create new audio textures. Sample-rate and bit-reduction…Click on the title for more

Weird Noise What The Fuzz

Based in Astoria, OR, Weird Noise Pedals chose a name that leaves no room for misunderstanding: these folks aren't afraid to get loud and quirky. Their provocatively named WTF pedal (don't worry, it's an acronym for "What a Fuzz!") is a simple 3-knob/2-mode fuzz with a noteworthy range. Those three…Click on the title for more
