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

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

Empress Effects Drive

Empress Effects, a Canadian builder known for making pedals for people who read manuals for fun, hasn't entirely shied away from dirt boxes: their Heavy Menace is a precision kill box.
