Redbeard Effects Angry Rhubarb MkII Overdrive

Guitarists were seldom faced with the words "parametric" and "EQ" in the same sentence since that's a kind of EQ that is normally found on pro audio consoles and equalizers, rather than effects and amps.

Malekko Polyamorator Harmonizing Delay

In recent years, the pedal output of Portland's Malekko Heavy Industry has become somewhat spotty - and arguably underpromoted - but their new releases never cease to intrigue. We just stumbled upon the video of the Polyamorator, their new, three stage harmonizing/arpeggiating delay, which is a signature pedal for The…Click on the title for more

Pigtronix Moon Pool Tremvelope Phaser

The Pigtronix Moon Pool Tremvelope Phaser (or how about TremveloPhaser?) was announced during NAMM's Believe in Music 2021 together with two other rather spacey looking mini pedals, but it was the only one lacking a video, which is now available. As you know, a pedal (or any other musical device)…Click on the title for more

Pladask Elektrisk Baklengs Granular Synth/Glitch Delay

Thanks to a bunch of forward-thinking builders, in recent years, granular and glitch pedals have experienced an exponential growth comparable to no other effect niche. Norway's Pladask Elektrisk has been at the center of this phenomenon and their new release BAKLENGS continues and develops it. Presented as the final release…Click on the title for more

Released late in 2016, Emma's ON-1 Okto-Nøjs - we'll let you guess how to pronounce that! - was Emma's first pedal in almost ten years.

TWA Side Step LFO Expression Pedal

While almost every guitar player owns an Expression pedal, Expression controllers are a rather overlooked format in the stompbox world, and they shouldn't be, because they have the magic power of instilling new creative life into any old pedal in a player's arsenal equipped with an Expression or CV input.…Click on the title for more
