Neunaber Immerse Reverberator MkII

Brian Neunaber of Neunaber Audio might be based in Orange, California, but the rigor he puts into his pedal designs betrays the mitteleuropean origins of his last name (for the unaware, Germans seem to have a special gene for engineering). Over the past few years his company has built a…Click on the title for more

Lantern Manufacturing Meadowsweet Chorus

The Lantern Manufacturing Meadowsweet, which was just highlighted as one of the best pedals of 2022 by the JHS Show is a very peculiar chorus effect. Instead of using the typycal analog BBD chip or a digital circuit, it has at its core four PT2399 chips, used 99% of the…Click on the title for more

EarthQuaker Devices Astral Destiny Octave Reverb

Ohio's EarthQuaker Devices is one of the pedal companies that pioneered the "creative" stompbox trend that has taken over the field in the last decade. In the last few years, they have been focused on more traditional "tone" pedals (like their incredibly successful Tube Screamer-style overdrive Plums or the Metal-inclined…Click on the title for more

JHS 3 Series Flanger

AC Noises Respira Shimmer Reverb + Multi-Mode Tremolo

The Trem+Verb combination is quite literally the oldest of effect combos for electric guitar, but the Italian folks at AC Noise gave it a fresh new look in their new pedal Respira (Italian for "breath"), developed in collaboration with Luca Romanelli from Mastro Valvola. There's nothing traditional about this pedal,…Click on the title for more

Fender Hammertone Reverb

The Fender Hammertone Reverb is a part of the new affordable line of pedals released by the electric guitar company in early 2022.

Greer Lightspeed Overdrive

When a pedal with just three knobs and a $200 price tag features in the chart of the top 10 best-selling overdrives on Reverb.com, you can be sure it's there because of the way it sounds. Enter the Greer Lightspeed overdrive, handmade in Athens, Georgia. Rather ironically, what makes this…Click on the title for more

Electro-Harmonix Mel9 Tape Replay Machine

Upon hearing the capabilities of the new Electro-Harmonix Mel9 Tape Replay Machine Mellotron simulator pedal, the thought that immediately came to mind was that guitar players might finally have a fair shot at landing some film, TV, and video game scoring work. Historically, MIDI has always given an unfair advantage…Click on the title for more

One Control Silver Bee 4K Mini Overdrive

The One Control Silver Bee 4K Mini is a shrunken version of the "regular" Silver Bee, a version of the Honey Beevoiced after classic American "silvery" combo amps, the kind of gear that had a helping hand in crafting some of the world's finest rock records. It has the same…Click on the title for more

Marshall BluesBreaker (aka Blues Breaker) Reissue

It looks like with the new reissue of the original 1991 Blues Breaker overdrive, Marshall has decided to surrender to the common misspellings of this pedal's name, as in "BluesBreaker" (without a space), since their entire online literature spells it that way. However, if our friends at Pedaltown are correct,…Click on the title for more

Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170

Although it's not technically a pedal (it has no footswitch, but you don't really need one in this case), the Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 is a powerful mini amp head pushing 170w of power with a clean preamp section, and it's made to fit on your board. It has a…Click on the title for more
