Thorpy FX ER-2 Univibe

The fully analog Thorpy FX ER-2 is the British company's take on the Uni-Vibe circuit, and, being familiar with the high engineering standards Adrian Thorpe strives for, we expect this pedal to become a big player in an effect-type niche followed almost obsessively by many true tone connoisseurs. The builder…Click on the title for more

The EarthQuaker Devices Zoar is the Ohio company's take on the modern-sounding, transistor-based medium-high gain distortion.
