MXR Raw Dawg Overdrive

Blues guitar legend Eric Gales and Jim Dunlop teamed up to create the MXR Raw Dawg, a 3-knob mini overdrive pedal based on an original circuit that delivers Tubescreamer-style tone with a little more bite.

NRG Effects Poker Treblebooster Overdrive

The NRG Effects Poker is a high-end Silicon transistor evolution of the classic Rangemaster-style treblebooster circuit with a couple of tricks up its sleeve.

We somehow missed the release of the Malekko Goatkeeper last year (probably because the company didn't send the pedal to any of the YouTubers we follow!) so we need to send a YUGE thank you to Dennis Kayzer for posting a video of it on his channel, because this is…Click on the title for more

The Dreadbox Disorder isn't a new pedal (the video of the original version dates back to 2014), but the Greek company, after focusing for almost a decade on its line of synths, in the early '20s has switched its attention back to stompboxes, triggering new attention to their old designs.…Click on the title for more
