Stereo Pedals

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…Click on the title for more

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 on the title 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 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? Vintage…Click on the title 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 on the title for more

New Pedal: Chase Bliss Big Time Stereo Delay

A thousand dollars. For a delay pedal. Let that sink in. Here's the thing, though. Joel Korte and his team and John Snyder (Electronic Audio Experiments) have built something that actually justifies the price tag. The Chase Bliss Big Time isn't another digital delay with fancy marketing. It's a painstaking…Click on the title 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 on the title 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 on the title 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 on the title 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 on the title for more

Polyend Mess Multi-FX with Sequencer

Polyend saw the pedal world and decided it needed more chaos. The Mess is their answer: a multi-effects pedal with four independent tracks, over 120 stereo effects, and a 16-step sequencer that turns static processing into something alive. It's a box that can treat your tone with surgical precision one…Click on the title for more

EarthQuaker Devices Towers Reverberant Filter

EarthQuaker Devices has spent twenty years convincing us that reverb doesn't have to sit politely in the background. Afterneath sent drips cavern-dwelling. Astral Destiny went cosmic. Transmisser just… floated off somewhere. Now comes the Towers, labeled as a Stereo Reverberant Filter. Jamie Stillman is very clear: this isn't an evolution of…Click on the title for more
