New Pedal: NativeAudio In the Water Reflector

There's a Blackfeet story about Old Man — Napi — who saw berries reflected in a stream and kept diving in to grab them. Every time he came up empty, he saw them again, dove deeper, tied rocks to his legs, nearly drowned. Finally he crawled to shore, looked up,…... Click for more

New Pedal: Fairfield Circuitry Placeholder BBD-based Reverb

Quebec prides itself with being different, and the province's most prominent pedal maker has always done things a little sideways, with devices that don't sound quite like anybody else's. The Fairfield Circuitry Placeholder keeps that streak alive. It's an analog reverb built around BBD chips, but it's not trying to…... Click for more

New Pedal: Hungry Robot The Stargazer Dual Ambient Reverb

Hungry Robot has been quietly rebuilding its lineup this year. First came the Moby Dick tape delay. Now comes the new Stargazer, a dual-channel ambient reverb that takes the bones of the 2014 original and gives it a serious update. The original Stargazer was a simple dual-preset reverb. Two channels,…... Click for more

Updated Pedal: Strymon TImeline MX Delay

When it came out, the Timeline was the delay pedal that made other delay pedals feel like toys. The Strymon Timeline MX doesn't replace it — it mutates it. The original's twelve machines are still here — dTape, dBucket, Digital, Dual, Pattern, Reverse, Trem, Filter, Diffuse, Ice, Duck, and Lo-Fi…... Click for more

New Pedal: Walrus Audio Lüm Granular Reverb

Walrus Audio took three of their most interesting pedals — the Slö, Lore, and Fable — threw them in a blender, and came out with something that's earned its own permanent spot on the roster. The Walrus Audio Lüm is a granular reverb that doesn't just wash your signal in…... Click for more

DOD Badder Monkey Overdrive

Following a surge of interest spurred by a viral demonstration video, the long-discontinued DOD Bad Monkey overdrive has been resurrected in a significantly expanded form by its original creators at DOD. The Badder Monkey is far more than a simple reissue; it’s a comprehensive reimagining that retains the core green-voiced…... Click for more

GFI System Solis Ventus Delay/Reverb

Hailing from the Indonesyan brand that gave us the Specular Tempus (also a stereo, multi-algorithms reverb + delay pedal), the GFI System Solis Ventus expands on its predecessor offering a dual DSP engine, powered by two 32-bit ARM processors. This configuration allows you to run two effects (delay-delay, reverb-reverb, or…... Click for more

Keeley RK2000 Funk Siren Delay

In 1983, Ibanez/Maxon built something absurd: the DM2000, a 12-bit digital delay so over-engineered that it made everything else look like a toy. Forty years later, Trey Anastasio has been abusing one onstage, using its Hold function to create infinite, warbling loops called the "Funk Siren." The only problem? Vintage…... Click for more

Strymon El Capistan V2 Tape Delay

The Strymon El Capistan is a lush stereo emulation of a vintage Tape Echo device, in a cleverly simple box. It offers three Tape modes emulating different reading head configurations (Fixed, Multi and Single) and three ways to slightly tweak each one of them. Separate controls for Tape Age and…...

Chase Bliss Big Time Stereo Delay

A thousand dollars. For a delay pedal. Let that sink in. Here's the thing, though. Joel Korte and his team and John Snyder (Electronic Audio Experiments) have built something that actually justifies the price tag. The Chase Bliss Big Time isn't another digital delay with fancy marketing. It's a painstaking…... Click for more

Updated Pedal: JHS NOTADÜMBLË V2 Pedal Kit

The original JHS NOTADÜMBLË was a beautiful disaster. JHS accidentally loaded the John Mayer BBC-1 preamp into the clean side instead of the intended "Box It Later" buffer. Josh Scott called it the biggest mistake of his career. Discontinued the pedal. Offered refunds. The whole thing sold out anyway because…... Click for more
