The JHS The Violet is a Lari Basillo signature distortion pedal featuring a 3-way pre-distortion EQ with sweepable parametric mids.

The KMA Machines Wurm 2 is an update of the Berlin-based company's high-gain flagship distortion pedal, featuring a circuit based on the BOSS HM-2 but with lots of extra features - or, in the words of the builder, "taking it much further and pushing the envelope of how destructive it…Click on the title for more

The Spaceman Effects Equinox is here to remind us that a great-sounding EQ is an essential tool on any pedalboard.
