Cornerstone Centurio Professional Drive

Cornerstone Centurio. Two Klon-style channels in one box, made in Italy. Sounds simple. It's not. The Klon circuit is sacred ground for a certain kind of player - that amp-pushing, clarity-preserving thing that makes everything just better. Centurio takes that DNA and gives you two independent gain and volume stages,…... Click for more

Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon

Crazy Tube Circuits, a Greek company that apparently learned electronics by staring at the sun and listening to Blue Cheer records, built this three-panel monster. It's not a pedal. It's a manifesto in a metal box. Enter the Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon. Four fuzz voices in the center panel: ff is…... Click for more

New Pedal: MXR Textures Granular Synth Engine

Most pedals take what you play and hand it back to you more or less intact. The MXR Textures does the opposite. It takes your signal, pulls it apart into tiny pieces called grains, and lets you rearrange them into something that barely resembles where you started. Inside the box…... 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

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…...

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

Red Panda RD-1 Pitch Delay

Red Panda has spent years proving that digital doesn't have to mean cold. The Raster was their deep-dive pitch delay - a brilliant box with menus, alternate functions, and enough parameters to make a synth programmer weep with joy . It was also, for the stomp-and-go guitarist, a lot. Enter…... Click for more

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
