Spaceman Effects Delta II Tremolo

Notably, Portland's Spaceman Effects didn't have a compact tremolo in their roster until today, the day they released the Delta II. The rather simple interface can be misleading: this pedal can deliver a wide variety of rhythmic and tone-shaping options, from the traditional to the adventurous. The Lag knob is…Click on the title for more

ProCo RAT2 Distortion

The ProCo RAT2 distortion pedal is an update on a classic from the early 1980s.

J. Rockett El Hombre Overdrive

Remember that creepy movie from the '90s by Jennifer Lynch called "Boxing Helena? Well, the J. Rockett El Hombre overdrive could be the sequel of it, entitled "Boxing Billy Gibbons" (of ZZ Top fame).
