New Pedal: EarthQuaker Devices Towers Reverberant Filter

EarthQuaker Devices has spent twenty years convincing us that reverb doesn't have to sit politely in the background. Afterneath sent drips cavern-dwelling. Astral Destiny went cosmic. Transmisser just… floated off somewhere. Now comes the Towers, labeled as a Stereo Reverberant Filter. Jamie Stillman is very clear: this isn't an evolution of…Click on the title for more

New Pedal: Beetronics Pollinator Hazee Multi-Modulated Delay

Beetronics finally went digital. After years of building analog dirt boxes in those signature hand-painted enclosures, the California-via-Brazil hive unleashed the Pollinator Hazee Delay—their first fully digital pedal .

New Pedal: 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…Click on the title for more

New Pedal: Umbrella Company Hume

The Japan-made Umbrella Company HUME is a spatial effects pedal designed to occupy the elusive territory between delay and reverb.

New Pedal: Wampler Golden Jubilee Dual Overdrive/Distortion

Brian Wampler looked at the 1980s and saw two kinds of fire-breathing monsters. California boutique amps—smooth, articulate, punchy, the kind of gain that lets you bend a note and hear every microtonal ghost in between. British high-gain stacks—saturated, muscular, that cranked-Plexi crunch that made the decade sound the way it…Click on the title for more

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 on the title 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 on the title for more
