Malekko B:Assmaster Octave Fuzz

The B:Assmaster from Malekko Heavy Industry is a hand-built clone of the Maestro Bass Brassmaster harmonic octave fuzz. This updated version supplies the same classic fuzz tones as the original in a modern, rugged, and reliable package. Although aimed at bassists, this pedal performs equally well on guitars... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAwZ0E2fnco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N38PRLP1z24…Click on the title for more

Malekko Goatkeeper – 2-Stage Polyrhythmic Tremolo

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

Malekko Polyamorator Harmonizing Delay

In recent years, the pedal output of Portland's Malekko Heavy Industry has become somewhat spotty - and arguably underpromoted - but their new releases never cease to intrigue. We just stumbled upon the video of the Polyamorator, their new, three stage harmonizing/arpeggiating delay, which is a signature pedal for The…Click on the title for more

Paul Barker from Malekko explains the Thicken’s delay modes

The guys at Malekko Heavy Industry have been working their ass(Master)s off in 2018, with two new pedal releases and also a synth!

Malekko Heavy Industry Downer Wavefolder/Saturation/Octave/Filter

If you like your guitar tone deep-down low and distorted, Malekko Heavy Industries has a new pedal that can take it to new depths. The appropriately named Downer - a pedal whose prototype we saw at NAMM 2018 - is a combination wavefolder/saturation and pitch-shifting pedal. Saturation, the more “subtle” of…Click on the title for more

Review: Malekko Charlie Foxtrot Granular Delay – by Gearphoria

Malekko Heavy Industry is a truly cutting edge Portland based company that manufactures both pedals and modular synths - they are such skilled engineers that none other than Roland asked them to create their Aira Series 500 line for Eurorack (chief engineer Josh Holley recounts how all that unfolded in this interview). Gearphoria recently reviewed their…Click on the title for more

Malekko board at the Montreal SBE 2017

The guys at Malekko Heavy Industry definitely like to think outside the box, and their latest effects have been more and more interesting and unusual. They also participate to most of our events, so we thought it would be cool to highlight the pedals in the board they have sent to our latest…Click on the title for more

Ghost King’s guitar pedals on “Bones”

Bones by Ghost KingGhost King's 2016 debut album "Bones" impressed our friends at The Deli so much that they made it NYC Record of the Month back in April. The album features what could be seen (and heard) as a noteworthy recap of the (indie) guitar rock sound of the '90s, with references to…Click on the title for more

New Pedals at NAMM: Malekko Sneak Attack Compressor with Tap Tempo

Another very cool new pedal that was announced at NAMM ’16 is the Malekko Sneak Attack. A unique take on compression, at its core the Sneak Attack is a very warm-sounding VCA analog compressor that can be used in some inspiring ways, not just completely on or off. While it…Click on the title for more

New Pedals: Malekko’s Scrutator bit and sample rate reducer

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…Click on the title for more

Malekko Spring Chicken – Spring Reverb Emulation

Many forget that Malekko (run by guitarist Paul Barker from the legendary '90s industrial band Ministry) was one of the first manufacturers to venture in the market of mini-pedals (which are all the rage these days) and that their tiny "Spring" pedal was one of the first (if not THE first) successful attempt…Click on the title for more
