Red Panda Radius Ring Mod

The Red Panda Radius combines a ring modulator and frequency shifter with pitch tracking and an advanced LFO. It is designed around a novel “eight-quadrant multiplier” algorithm that smoothly transitions from ring modulation to frequency shifting and allows different frequency ratios for the upper and lower tones. The pedal offers a spectrum of timbres beyond traditional ring…Click on the title for more

Electronic Audio Experiments Citadel Overdrive

Based on the same topology as the company's popular Model feT (voiced after the Sunn Model T amp), the Electronic Audio Experiments Citadel is a preamp-style overdrive inspired by another amp (or rather, amp series) beloved by most electric guitarists: the Marshall Plexi. It doesn't focus its attention on a…Click on the title for more

Endorphines Ghost Multi-Dimensional FX

To further remind us that pedals are a modular format just like Eurorack, the Endorphines Ghost is a rare example of a synth company venturing into the stompbox format (there are plenty of reversed cases including EQD, Strymon, and Empress Effects, just to mention a few). While the original Ghost…Click on the title for more

Sonicake Wave Crush Bitcrusher

Bitcrusher Pedals are a lot of fun, but for most guitarists not a big priority on their board, which is why an affordable, mini effect of this kind like the Sonicake Wave Crush makes a lot of sense. This musical little device can bring your signal's sampling rate from 44100Hz…Click on the title for more

BOSS RV-200 Reverb

BOSS's 200 series pedals are smaller but not necessarily less powerful versions of the Japanese company's flagship, multi-algorithm, stereo 500 series. The BOSS RV-200 (also a stereo device) is the much-anticipated shrunken version of the RV-500. Considering that its delay sibling, the DD-200, was released four years earlier, one may…Click on the title for more

Anasound Utopia Deluxe Delay

The Anasound Utopia Deluxe is a limited edition, updated and upgraded version of the company's "regular" Utopia, an analog-voiced delay built around the PT2399 chip that's, to date, their best-selling unit.

MXR Joshua Ambient Echo

The MXR Joshua Ambient Echo bears that name for a particular reason: it aims to offer, in a compact case, the legendary sound of U2's The Edge as heard in The Joshua Tree, a 1987 album that featured a signature guitar sound drenched in a rhythmic yet ambient delay. Extremely…Click on the title for more

Empress Effects Echosystem Multi-Mode Delay

One of the brand new pedals that were on display at the 2017 first Montreal Stompbox Exhibit was the Empress Effects EchoSystem, the Canadian company's take on the "large-ish" multi-function digital delay pedal concept (its release date of May 4th, 2017 was just two days before our event!). The stompbox…Click on the title for more

Decibelics Golden Horse Klon-Style Drive

Among the hundreds of Klon clones, the Decibelics Golden Horse stands out as both the most expensive one in mini format (at around $270 + shipping from Barcelona) and the most hyped of the bunch, which is why - unless you find it used on Reverb or eBay - the…Click on the title for more

Strymon Ultraviolet Vintage Vibe

After the Cloudburst and the Brig, the Strymon Ultraviolet is the third "almost compact" release by the Californian builder, and its first take on the Uni-Vibe effect. Like the two previous pedals in this unnamed, smaller line of devices, the Ultraviolet is a rather streamlined device, but sports an entirely…Click on the title for more

GFI System Enieqma Equalizer

Designed and built by an (unexpectedly) Indonesian wonder of a company, the GFI System Enieqma is a stereo / dual channel device that takes on equalizing and boost duties and does it both uniquely and impressively. With its large LCD screen displaying the EQ curve you are working with, this…Click on the title for more
