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. It emerges from a simple concept: what happens when echoes stop being distinct repeats and start dissolving into atmosphere? The answer lives in the F&V sliders—the pedal's defining control. This…Click on the title for more

Caroline Wave Cannon Zero Fuzzstortion

A revisitation of one of the South Carolina-based company's early unreleased prototypes, the Caroline Wave Cannon v2 is a bold distortion pedal that delivers everything from subtle crackles to heavy, chaotic, and even self-oscillating tones. Unlike pedals focused on subtle dynamics, the Wave Cannon v2 features intense gain and volume…Click on the title for more

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

Tone King Imperial Tube Preamp Pedal

One of the most talked-about pedals to emerge from the 2025 NAMM Show was the Tone King Imperial Tube Preamp, a two-channel stereo preamp with tremolo and reverb voiced after the company's namesake amp, and based on a circuit featuring not one but three 12AX7 tubes. Just like in the…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

New Pedal: Fuzzrocious Grey Stache/Heliotropic Double Fuzz

Let's get one thing straight right now. You're looking at a box that crams two completely separate fuzz circuits into one enclosure and sells the whole mess for less than what the Heliotropic alone used to cost. One-forty-five for the Grey Stache, two-ten for the Helio. Now you get both…Click on the title for more

Updated Pedal: Hungry Robot The Moby Dick Stereo Tape Delay

The Hungry Robot Moby Dickk has evolved significantly. Now in its third edition, this stereo tape-style delay expands from a straightforward (mono) five-knob emulation into a sophisticated eight-control workstation for textured, multi-headed echo . It is less a simple vintage replica and more a creative laboratory built around the warmth…Click on the title for more

Their latest collaboration, the Keeley Nocturne, isolates and refines the expansive spatial component central to Timmons' signature…Click on the title 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.

Meris LVX Stereo Modular Delay

The Meris LVX is the long-awaited first release in over two years by one of the most interesting (and successful) new pedal companies to emerge in the late '10s, born from a rib of Strymon. As expected, it's a heavily featured stereo pedal, and more precisely, a multi-algorithm delay/looper with…Click on the title for more

Warm Audio Fulff Drive

It takes the foundational circuit of a classic 1980s high-gain overdrive and re-engineers it with specific modifications for modern, extended-range guitar playing. The core circuit utilizes premium analog components, including JRC4558 op-amps…Click on the title for more
