New Pedals: EQD’s Fuzz Master General

EarthQuaker Devices unveiled four new pedals at NAMM 2015, two of which are re-issues of classics now in a smaller format (which is definitely a trend appreciated by musicians when pedal board real estate is a necessity).

Pedal Tricks: The Shimmer Effect

"Shimmer" is a word that has become somewhat trendy in the stompbox realm, with many new stompboxes claiming to be able to reproduce the "shimmering effect."
