New Pedal: Meris Ottobit X

Some pedals evolve. The Meris Ottobit X resurrects - louder, stranger, and fully reborn. Meris took the Ottobit Jr. and Ottobit Sr.—their vintage gaming-inspired glitch boxes—and injected them with enough '80s nostalgia to fill a John Hughes marathon. The result is a full stereo modular degradation engine that doesn't just…Click on the title 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?
