BEST GUITAR PEDALS AT NAMM 2018 LIST HERE

marathon2

This year we tried something new at NAMM: the Delicious Audio’s Pedal Demo Marathon, an attempt of covering all the new stompboxes released during Winter NAMM 2018!

Within our Stompbox Booth (#3231), we had a table set up to shoot top-view videos of the best new effect pedals presented at the Anaheim convention – as many as we possibly could! The goal was to create short demos that are as close as possible to a produced format but in the live setting of NAMM, while also helping out the community of manufacturers get the message through about their new creations.

Untitled 6 2

Eric Merrow’s video set up at our NAMM 2018 Stompbox Booth.

The videographer in charge of the shooting was talented Portland-based stompbox maniac Eric Merrow. He ended up shooting around 90 demos – you can see them all here!

A big Thank You to Hosa Cables, Hotone Audio and Eventide for their help!

This page collects all these videos, butaggregate the demos of stompboxes we might have missed, shot by other videographers.

Our goal is to create a comprehensive, interactive, informative and fun page where all pedal lovers can find their next “Can’t-do-without” device!

ATTENTION!

Not all pedals have a video link! We will keep adding our videos as we shoot them during the 4 days of NAMM.

Mad Professor Little Tweedy Drive
Voiced after the famous small Tweed amp tone: big, fat & punchy midrange with a sweet growl reminiscent of the late 50´s amplifiers. It stacks very well, you can get more saturated and higher gain tones by placing a booster or another overdrive pedal in front of the Little Tweedy Drive.

6 Degrees Amplitude Eleven Overdrive
Super flexible 2 Channel Class A overdrive. Blue Channel has 2 gain stages acting as gains 1 - 2 on some vintage amps, producing crunchy tone with a natural tube-like clipping. RED channel is a 4-gain stage high gain channel that gives you saturated drive for both rhythm and lead - G.A.S. mode delivers Germanium fuzzy clipping texture

Lightning Boy NuVision Overdrive
High voltage all-tube preamp driven by NuVistors, the smallest vacuum tubes ever made, outputing 20% more gain than a 12AX7. Features a passive EQ with Bass and Treble boost/cut knobs, plus low and high cut filters. The “In” knob adjusts how much distortion the pedal makes by controlling how much the first tube overdrives the second tube.

Lunastone Blue Drive
Delivers crunchy tone that is more focused on the meticulous details of the slightly gained range than simply adding maximum amounts of gain. On low gain it works almost like a clean boost (clear and glassy). Hit the strings harder and it will bite you!

Lunastone Smooth Drive
An even more gentle and subtle drive than TOD 1, but without sacrificing the core tone of TrueOverDrive. Silky and smooth, it will give your tone just a little edge. For BB King, Larry Carlton and 335 Gibson guitars lovers – even Jazz players

$49 | An overdrive pedal that offers traditional creamy warm breakup and uses the JRC4558 chip as found in the classic Tube Screamer, the Boss OD-1, the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer and other vintage overdrives.

MXR 294 Sugar Drive
One of the few mini-klones available on the market (at least for now), the MXR Sugar Drive simplicity is deceptive. The drive knob in this circuit blends the clean guitar signal with the overdriven one as you turn it up, while the circuit's headroom in increased through what is referred to as a "Charge Pump." A switch lets you choose between bypass or MXR's buffered bypass.

Animals Pedal Major Overdrive
$149 | An Overdrive with a "brown sound" flavor, kinda like a tube amp that has a variac on the power supply to reduce the voltage slightly. The tone is clear, focused, and balanced with a beefy low-mid and a buttery high end. The attack is punchy and cutting, with just enough compression to be chewy and in the pocket.

Carl Martin DC Drive
For 2018, this favorite Carl Martin pedal features an anodized case with a smaller footprint, but still offers the same great tones of the original. In addition to the usual Level, Tone and Drive knobs, the DC Drive has a Regular/Fat switch. In Regular mode, the overdrive is crisp and clear, but kick it into Fat mode, and it becomes thicker, with plenty more gain.

Greer Amp Tomahawk Drive
A dynamic recreation of the Tweed sound. This medium gain “second stage” overdrive barks and snarls, but it can also lean back and simply shift your tone just a bit. At 9 volts, it compresses slightly, but still has some stiffness to it, just like those tone boxes did. At 18 volts, it has increased headroom, AND becomes a bit more stiff, in a lovely way.

Rainger FX Reverb-X
$193 - Subverting a pedal routing commonplace, the Reverb X places an overdrive and a gate AFTER a reverb, rather than before. Both effects only affect the reverb sound, not the clean signal. The results are very intriguing, in particular when operated with the Igor expression controller to momentarily trigger the gate open. There are two reverb modes (bright and dark).
