Neunaber Immerse Reverberator MkII

Brian Neunaber of Neunaber Audio might be based in Orange, California, but the rigor he puts into his pedal designs betrays the mitteleuropean origins of his last name (for the unaware, Germans seem to have a special gene for engineering). Over the past few years his company has built a…Click on the title for more

One Control Silver Bee 4K Mini Overdrive

The One Control Silver Bee 4K Mini is a shrunken version of the "regular" Silver Bee, a version of the Honey Beevoiced after classic American "silvery" combo amps, the kind of gear that had a helping hand in crafting some of the world's finest rock records.

Electro-Harmonix Slap-Back Echo Reissue

The JHS Show has become so influential that if Josh Scott declares in it that a vintage pedal should be reissued, it really makes little sense, for the original builder, NOT to reissue it.
