Line 6 POD Express

Those who've been around "long enough" will have fond memories of the day in 1998 when they saw, and then heard the very first Line 6 Pod. It was the first mass-produced device to deliver, in a rather small package and rather faithfully, the tones of a myriad of different…... Click for more

New Pedal: Meris Ottobit X

Some pedals evolve. The Meris Ottobit X resurrects - louder, stranger, and fully reborn. Meris took the Ottobit Jr. and Ottobit Sr.—their vintage gaming-inspired glitch boxes—and injected them with enough '80s nostalgia to fill a John Hughes marathon. The result is a full stereo modular degradation engine that doesn't just…... Click for more

Guitarists were frantically typing things like "reverse reverb that pitches up an octave" into a laptop and then stepping on a pedal that actually did it. People were losing…... Click for more
