New Pedal: Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay (Handwired)

Finland knows cold. Finland knows silence. And apparently Finland knows delay. The Deep Blue Delay is back in the Handwired series, and it's the same natural-sounding digital delay with an analog direct path. No filtering on the dry signal. No noise reduction circuits gumming up the decay. Just echo that…... Click for more

Butterfly Effects Dobbo Granular Pedal

In a world of predictable effects, sometimes your sound needs a collaborator—not just a tool. Enter the Butterfly Effects Dobbo, a stereo granular effect pedal designed not just to process your sound, but to play with it. This isn't merely a delay or a reverb; it's an ecosystem of sound…...

Polyend Endless Stereo AI-Powered Pedal

We saw this "thing" at NAMM 2026. The booth was crowded with similarly looking pedals with a varying range of graphics. Guitarists were frantically typing things like "reverse reverb that pitches up an octave" into a laptop and then stepping on a pedal that actually did it. People were losing…... Click for more

Kinotone Sparks Overdrive/Wavefolder/Filter/Synth

Kinotone is a relatively new boutique US pedal brand that is grabbing attention for designing unusual and creative compact stompboxes that work well with guitar, synths or any instrument with an output. The Sparks, mostly a filter + distortion pedal, is their second product after the very well-received Ribbons. The…... Click for more

New Pedal: Monger Pedals The Little Guy Fuzz/Phaser

Monger Pedals named it the Little Guy. Probably to lower your expectations before it melts your face off. This is a dual-effect box that pairs an OTA-based phaser with an op-amp fuzz. Two circuits that could live on separate boards, wedged into a single enclosure, because apparently Monger believes in…... 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. But it had one glaring limitation. To edit presets, load new Tone Models, or organize your sounds, you needed…... Click for more

Vongon Polyphrase Stereo Echo

We were very proud to host the launch of the new Vongon Polyphrase at our 10th Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit (yeah, after all what happened since our 2019 edition we kind of forgot that this was the event's ten year anniversary!). The Polyphrase is a stereo echo with an infinite feedback loop,…... Click for more

New Pedal: Strymon Canoga Silicon Fuzz

Strymon built a reputation on digital wizardry—big boxes, deep menus, endless presets. But behind all that DSP lives an analog team that's been quietly designing circuits nobody gets to see. Times are a-changing. The Series A line is the company's outlet for analog dirt boxes. No MIDI. No USB. No…... Click for more

New Pedal: Beetronics Seabee Lite Chorus

Beetronics took their gloriously overcomplicated Seabee and stripped it down to the good parts. The Seabee Lite is still a fully analog BBD chorus, but now you don't need a PhD to operate it. Three modes, six knobs, two toggles, and a pair of footswitches that do more than just…... Click for more

Source Audio Pathways Multi Stereo Tremolo + Reverb

The Source Audio Pathways is a tremolo and reverb pedal that understands its lineage. Spring reverb and tube tremolo have lived together since the days when amps came with both built in—because motion and dimension just work together. Pathways takes that classic pairing and expands it without overcomplicating it. Seven…... Click for more

New Pedal: Old Blood Noise Setback Reverse Delay

OBNE killed the BL-44. Good. It deserved a proper successor. The Old Blood Noise Setback is that successor: a reverse delay that ditches the "textural" hedging of its ancestors (Rever, Minim, Parting) for something more surgical. It can drift off on its own or lock tight to MIDI clock. It can…... Click for more
