Strymon Iridium Amp & IR Cab

One may say that black is the color favored by rockers. Although the Flint gets close to it with a very dark gray, a truly black pedal was missing from the collection of Strymon devices until today, the day the Californian company unveiled its first Amp and Cab emulation stompbox,…Click on the title for more

Success, in the world of manufacturing, comes at a cost, and one of these costs is finding out that competing companies are creating products similar to yours.

JD Analog Tone of the Gods

Since boost pedals are supposed to do a very simple job, we have grown to assume that they don't need to be very big. New Zealand builder JD Analog begs to disagree.

Now Shipping: Fulltone CS-PlimSoul mkII Overdrive/Distortion

Yes, we have a big problem with Michael Fuller's rhetoric and proneness to insults (we experienced the man's "un-gentlemanliness" first-hand, some time ago) but we think that a blog that's all about guitar pedals should not avoid covering any manufacturer based on what is arguably a freedom of speech and…Click on the title for more
