Electro-Harmonix Pico Rerun Tape Delay

Part of the growing family of the Pico series, the Electro-Harmonix Pico Rerun is a tape-style echo in mini format delivering delay from 8ms to 3s.

New Pedals: Klowra Budding Bloom Series

New Pedal: JHS Fumble JFET Preamp

Here's the thing about mistakes: some of them you bury. Some of them you put in a box and sell for eighty-nine dollars. JHS dropped the NOTADÜMBLË in May 2025—a solderless DIY kit with two circuits. One was an overdrive based on the Dumble lead sound. The other was supposed…... Click for more

Updated Pedal: IK Multimedia TONEX ONE+

The original TONEX ONE (blurb below) was already a marvel: AI Machine Modeling, hyper-realistic amp captures, and a full rig's worth of tones in a box barely larger than a matchbook.
