Pedal Update: Industrialectric Incinerator Deluxe

Now, some pedals have better names than others, but... "Incinerator"? We are tempted to say that's the best name ever given to a stompbox. That's how this beast by Canadian manufacturer Industrialectric is called. Built by hand in Toronto, the incinerator is a dual-channel Silicon fuzz integrated by two oscillators…Click on the title for more

Rainger FX Air Space Invader 2

The Rainger FX Air Space Invader 2 is a rather unique take on the fuzz-based synth pedal for guitar.

Rainger FX Snare Trap Drum Machine Pedal

David Rainger from Rainger FX is constantly looking for excuses to add more (mind-melting) controls to his guitar pedals (although the recent Minibar is the exception to the rule).
