New Pedal: Suhr Brighton Treble Booster

The Suhr Brighton is a treble booster, but it's not trying to be a Rangemaster clone or a one-trick box. It's designed to add the top-end sparkle you need to rise above a band mix without losing what makes your sound yours. It's a simple control set — gain, bias,…... Click for more

New Pedal: Missing Link Audio Zepptone Overdrive/Fuzz

The explosive, touch-responsive overdriven tones you hear on Led Zeppelin's early tracks like "Communication Breakdown" and "Good Times Bad Times" surely inspired many guitarists. That cranked-amp character where saturation and aggression become the same thing also inspired the Missing Link Audio Zepptone pedal. That was the starting point; from there,…... Click for more

Audio Cultivation Project PALA Compressor

The Audio Cultivation Project PALA Compressor started as a commission for a transparent compressor without the pumping common to OTA-based designs, then spent three more years in development.

New Pedal: Origin Effects EQ Deluxe

Most EQ pedals are utility. You cut some mud, boost a frequency, move on. The Origin Effects EQ Deluxe (also spelled EQDELUXE) is not that. It's based on the Pultec EQP-1a, a passive studio equalizer from the 1950s that engineers still hunt down because it doesn't just change your…... Click for more

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

New Pedal: Greer Mori Drive

Mori means "forest" in Japanese. The name fits — this one's got a deep, woody midrange that feels like it belongs in the undergrowth of your pedalboard. Greer has been asked for years to build their take on that old vintage TS-style circuit with the famous mid hump. They finally…... Click for more
