New Pedal: Chase Bliss Bad Mood

The MOOD MKII, released a couple years back, became one of those pedals people either bonded with immediately or spent months trying to figure out.

New Pedal: MXR Textures Granular Synth Engine

Most pedals take what you play and hand it back to you more or less intact. The MXR Textures does the opposite. It takes your signal, pulls it apart into tiny pieces called grains, and lets you rearrange them into something that barely resembles where you started. Inside the box…... Click for more

Red Panda RD-1 Pitch Delay

Red Panda has spent years proving that digital doesn't have to mean cold. The Raster was their deep-dive pitch delay - a brilliant box with menus, alternate functions, and enough parameters to make a synth programmer weep with joy .

DigiTech Drop Polyphonic Drop Tune Pedal

The Black Keys and The White Stripes - there are some suspicious similarities. Both are two-piece acts. Both have "the color + plural noun" band names.

The Pattern Keeper is a phrase modulator disguised as a looper. Sixty seconds of stereo recording at 48kHz/24-bit, analog dry path,…... Click for more

Alexander Pedals Error XP Multi-FX Pedal

Alexander Pedals took their glitch-centric Syntax Error, shrunk it down, and added more ways to break your signal. The Syntax Error XP is the Leap Series version - smaller enclosure, same digital chaos, now with stereo ins and outs because destroying one channel of audio apparently wasn't enough. Eight modes…...
