Strymon Compadre Dual Voice Compressor and Boost

We just got this from Strymon: Compadre is something that we’ve been working on for a couple years, and we’re excited to tell you about it. We were actually ready to start shipping Compadre pedals back in early March, but we decided to hold off because of Covid-19. It's clear…Click on the title for more

The MXR Super Badass line already includes a very popular distortion pedal (that made our list of the best 10 distortions of all time) and a fuzz.

Alexander Pedals Fever Pitch Stereo Pitch Shifting Multi-FX

The Alexander Pedals Fever Pitch might be one of the first digital/DSP-based pedal releases of 2022 (a year marred by a continued chip shortage) but it's a device bound to keep players busy as if they bought half a dozen new pedals. At its core, this is a creative pedal…Click on the title for more

Great Eastern FX Small Speaker Overdrive

The Small Speaker Overdrive is the first pedal of Cambridge, UK based Great Eastern FX. It's a stompbox that cleverly offers something that goes against the hype of "fat" overdrives delivering the tone of big amps, the premise being that it's common knowledge that some of the best-sounding guitar parts…Click on the title for more

Flamma FC16 Optical Tremolo

Like the other mini pedals by this newish Chinese builder, the Flamma FC16 Optical Tremolo is a bread and butter effect that does well what it promises at an incredible price. And, unlike most other Chinese pedals, in the mini field, it also looks great, thanks to a tasteful choice…Click on the title for more

Electronic Audio Experiments Dagger V2

The Electronic Audio Experiments Dagger V2 is a simplified version of the company's own Longsword op-amp drive, featuring only the original's gain stages and dual band shelving EQ.

Rainger FX Reverb X

One thing you can surely say about London's Rainger FX is that it's a company that specializes in thinking outside the (stomp)box. Their Reverb X is extra proof of it: it subverts an effect routing commonplace, placing an overdrive and a gate AFTER a reverb, rather than before, and that drive…Click on the title for more

Electronic Audio Experiments Model feT V3

The Electronic Audio Experiments Model feT V3 is a transistor-based preamplifier designed around the Sunn Model T amplifier. While it excels at heavy tones when pushed, it is far more than just an amp for stoner rock and doom metal. On its own, it is a rather clean amplifier with…Click on the title for more
