Boasting 24 knobs, the new Bygones pro edition is a full stereo, midi controllable, preset capable pedal that is ostensibly the most in-depth lofi pedal available today.... Click on the title for more

From the manufacturer's website:
"The Reverberation Machine is a synthetic atmosphere creator. Use the effect on any instrument to add depth and simulate different environments. Experiment and combine a variety of settings to obtain the perfect ambiance for your sound.... Click on the title for more

Are you old enough to remember the amazing old Sierra video game series from the late '80s and early '90s that included the classics like Kings Quest, Hero’s Quest, Space Quest, and Police Quest? Well, the Canadian husband and wife duo, Ryan and Tanya Clarke, of Dr. Scientist pedals (who by the way have possibly the best website on earth) have managed to conjure up that nostalgic spirit of vintage gamer lore in pedal form with their latest adventure in a box, the BitQuest....

Another company further pushing the limits of what guitar pedals are capable of is Industrialelectric, out of Toronto. They have created a unit so bizarre that it must be checked out first hand in order to fully grasp everything that it is capable of.
Appropriately titled, their latest pedal 4046-M is essentially a voltage controlled oscillator. It works by examining the incoming signal and then splitting it into two distinct intervals. The signal is then run through a modulation circuit, which applies a touch - or a ton - of... sonic "chaos" to it. The pedal sports a whopping 14 pots and 3 switches, so there’s no danger of running out of options anytime soon. It can turn your guitar into a looper, a synth, an 8-bit crushing machine, and SO much more.... Click on the title for more
No guitarist that is or was a Ministry fan can help but being intrigued by Malekko Heavy Industries' stompbox insanity (the company's owner is the band's bassist Paul Barker).
Although bit reduction pedals - also called "lo-fi" - are not for all (tone purists in particular), Malekko's latest stompbox Scrutator offers a welcome upgrade to the concept, making it more musical and flexible than ever.... Click on the title for more
The first Stompbox Exhibit at NAMM is next week (Summer NAMM in Nashville!) and we want to take the opportunity to highlight the various boutique manufacturers who will be participating.
Holowon is a small company based in Rochester, NY specializing in hand-built effect pedals. All their designs are 100% originals - no clones or copies - and they currently have 12 stompboxes on their "roster." Their effects utilize complete true bypass switching, hand-built point-to-point circuitry and wiring, virtually indestructible construction, and a lifetime warranty.... Click on the title for more
Just in time for NAMM 2013 we have a few new pedals coming from Earthquaker Devices, The Disaster Transport Sr and The Warden Optical Compressor. The Disaster Transport looks interesting mainly due to two independent delays and the claim for lo-fi sounds. I am also intrigued by an Optical Compressor for guitar in the form of a pedal as the term Optical Compression is usually associated with compressors you'd find in a professional recording set up....
