Chase Bliss Brothers AM Overdrive

Inspired by the AnalogMan King of Tone, the legendary dual overdrive pedal that, one may say, started the trend of high-quality, multi-function dual-channel dirt boxes, the Chase Bliss Brothers AM overdrive is a reinterpretation and expansion of that circuit, designed in collaboration with its original creator, Mike Piera. Also a…... Click for more

Walrus Audio 385 MkII Overdrive

The Walrus Audio 385 MkII might be the only guitar pedal inspired by the sound of a... projector: the Bell and Howell Filmosound 385. Obviously, the inspiration here came from the projector's amplifier, rather than its video-related circuitry. MkI was one of the earliest pedals released by the Oklahoma City…... Click for more

Jam Pedals Tubedreamer MK2

Another Tube Screamer clone? In 2025? Really, JAM? Except it's not. Not exactly. The Tubedreamer Mk2 starts with the classic 808 recipe—JRC4558D chip, asymmetrical clipping, that mid-hump that made the original famous. But then JAM did something brave. They added a switch that bypasses the clipping stage entirely. No diodes.…... Click for more

Beetronics finally went digital. After years of building analog dirt boxes in those signature hand-painted enclosures, the California-via-Brazil hive unleashed the Pollinator Hazee Delay—their first fully digital pedal .

Asheville Music Tools Analoger ADG-1 Analog Delay

The Asheville Music Tools Analoger ADG-1 is an analog Bucket Brigade Delay with modulation that offers repeats from 16mS to 700mS.

DigiTech Drop Polyphonic Drop Tune Pedal

The Black Keys and The White Stripes - there are some suspicious similarities. Both are two-piece acts. Both have "the color + plural noun" band names. Both went from Midwestern garage rock roots to become bands that your mom downloads from iTunes. There is another similarity that musicians may notice:…... Click for more
