The Moon Canyon is a collaboration between the incomparable Sarah Lipstate of NOVELLER and the mysterious pedal builder Dr. No. It’s three effects (plus an fx loop) in one: Drive, reverb, and delay.

The Boss SY-1 connects with me in a way I didn’t think possible with a synth pedal. It’s dead-simple to use and find the tones of all your 80s dreams.

The Shake by Big Ear Pedals isn’t REALLY a pedal. It’s an instrument. It might have knobs and a switch, but the only thing that works on this guy is the output.

The Blooper was a legendary looper before it was even released. Over a year in the works, the Blooper is a collaboration between Chase Bliss Pedals and the remarkable demo channel Knobs.

The Elle by Big Ear Pedals is a beautiful, lightly modulated reverb pedal that can get into self-oscillation if you dime everything just right. It’s like “good lord, that’s a gorgeous reverb.”

Visitor is the newest pedal by Old Blood Noise Endeavors. It’s a multi-effect that runs effects in parallel rather than in series (both at the same time vs. one after the other). You have three options for your primary effect: tremolo, chorus, or phaser. For each of those, you have a rate, depth, and master […]

It has dozens of cabs and (I believe) hundreds of reverb sounds, including real spaces. You can even upload your own IRs. Sonically, this pedal is almost limitless. Which is intimidating af.  […]

Technically a medium-gain fuzz, the LOAF doesn’t exactly leave me feeling like I need more gain on tap. This babe has PLENTY of angry fuzzy tones to keep me happy. It’s definitely wooly, which I like.

The MAW stands for Microphone Audio Workstation. It’s an XLR pedal with three sections: a saturation section that controls tone and levels (including some padding), and two effects sections.

The Pelican Noiseworks Pelitaur isn’t what it looks like. While it has the general look (and naming scheme) as a Klon, it’s actually a gnarly fuzz.
