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

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

New Pedal: Meris Ottobit X

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 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.
