New Pedal: SoloDallas CD65 (CompanDrive 65)

Here's a pedal that admits what most overdrives pretend isn't true: your favorite records sound the way they do because of noise reduction. The CompanDrive 65 (aka SoloDallas CD65) is a compander. Compress on the way in, expand on the way out. That's what Dolby did to tape in 1965.…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

New Pedal: OPFXS Parallel Dimension Chorus/Vibrato

Another BBD chorus. Great. Just what the world needs. But wait. There's an Aliasing knob! Most analog modulation pedals spend their lives trying to hide the fact that bucket-brigade chips are fundamentally imperfect. They filter out the clock noise, smooth the edges, present a clean, polite face to the world.…Click on the title for more

New Pedal: JHS Coyote Fuzz

Josh Scott has made a career of digging up lost circuits and handing them back to guitar players. The JHS Coyote Fuzz is his tribute to Glenn Wyllie, a North Carolina builder who's been soldering transistors since the '60s and somehow never became a household name. Wyllie's Moonrock fuzz was…Click on the title for more
