Alexander Pedals Fever Pitch Stereo Pitch Shifting Multi-FX

The Alexander Pedals Fever Pitch might be one of the first digital/DSP-based pedal releases of 2022 (a year marred by a continued chip shortage) but it's a device bound to keep players busy as if they bought half a dozen new pedals. At its core, this is a creative pedal…Click on the title for more

Few manufacturers can claim Eventide's record in delivering top-notch and lush sounding studio and pedal gear. The Eventide H9 looks and feels like a clear departure from their line of stompboxes: whereas those black pedals immediately conveyed an intimidating feeling of depth of features (which can scare some musicians away),…Click on the title for more

Malekko Polyamorator Harmonizing Delay

In recent years, the pedal output of Portland's Malekko Heavy Industry has become somewhat spotty - and arguably underpromoted - but their new releases never cease to intrigue.

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. Both went from Midwestern garage rock roots to become bands that your mom downloads from iTunes. There is another similarity that musicians may notice:…Click on the title for more

Red Panda Tensor Time Warp Pedal

We were really hoping to have the new Tensor on the Red Panda board at this past weekend's L.A. Stompbox Exhibit.
