Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive

The Mad Professor Royal Blue is engineered to be more than a simple gain pedal; it’s an expressive amplifier-in-a-box designed for dynamic response. Unlike heavily compressed drives, its circuit allows your guitar’s natural character and playing dynamics to shine through. The amount of breakup is directly controlled by your picking…...

TC Electronic Bucket Brigade Delay

Judging from the fanfare of the intro video below, one could think that (once) Danish company TC Electronic (now owned by the Scrooge of the music gear world) just invented the BBD chip - which is pretty much the only chip you'll find in any analog delay pedal ever made.…... Click for more

Hudson Electronics Broadcast AP-II

The Broadcast preamp pedal from UK builder Hudson Electronics has a stellar reputation and made several best-of lists when it came out a few years ago.

Tone King Imperial Tube Preamp Pedal

One of the most talked-about pedals to emerge from the 2025 NAMM Show was the Tone King Imperial Tube Preamp, a two-channel stereo preamp with tremolo and reverb voiced after the company's namesake amp, and based on a circuit featuring not one but three 12AX7 tubes. Just like in the…... Click for more

New Pedal: Fuzzlord Doom Dweller V2 Reverb

The original Doom Dweller was a beautiful accident. One knob. One job. You twisted it, and the walls got bigger, the shadows got longer, the riffs started breathing like something alive in the room with you. Simple. Elegant. Dumb in the best possible way - like a sledgehammer or a…... Click for more

New Pedal: Fuzzrocious Grey Stache/Heliotropic Double Fuzz

Let's get one thing straight right now. You're looking at a box that crams two completely separate fuzz circuits into one enclosure and sells the whole mess for less than what the Heliotropic alone used to cost. One-forty-five for the Grey Stache, two-ten for the Helio. Now you get both…... Click for more

New Pedal: JHS Morning Glory Clean Overdrive

The Morning Glory Clean is not a new pedal. It is the same Bluesbreaker-style overdrive JHS has been building for years, but with one significant architectural change: a parallel clean blend integrated at the circuit level rather than tacked on as an afterthought. Most clean blends are simple mix knobs.…... Click for more

Updated Pedal: Hungry Robot The Moby Dick Stereo Tape Delay

The Hungry Robot Moby Dickk has evolved significantly. Now in its third edition, this stereo tape-style delay expands from a straightforward (mono) five-knob emulation into a sophisticated eight-control workstation for textured, multi-headed echo . It is less a simple vintage replica and more a creative laboratory built around the warmth…... Click for more

New Pedal: REVV Dirtdog Joey Landreth Signature Overdrive

The Revv Dirt Dog is a soulful, amp-like overdrive born from necessity. When Joey Landreth recorded The Bros. Landreth’s Dog Ear album, he relied on a heavily modified vintage-inspired amp he built himself—a small, quirky Fender Princeton-style circuit that delivered exquisite, harmonically rich breakup but proved too fragile for touring.…...

Their latest collaboration, the Keeley Nocturne, isolates and refines the expansive spatial component central to Timmons' signature…... Click for more

Meris LVX Stereo Modular Delay

The Meris LVX is the long-awaited first release in over two years by one of the most interesting (and successful) new pedal companies to emerge in the late '10s, born from a rib of Strymon. As expected, it's a heavily featured stereo pedal, and more precisely, a multi-algorithm delay/looper with…... Click for more
