Danelectro Back Talk

The Danelectro Back Talk reverse delay pedal is a reissue of an old classic (and now rare) effect. It delivers tape-like reverse delay and echo effects full of character and warmth through an easy three-knob design of mix, speed, and repeats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqV1-MfzL3A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klv9bZPXAz0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc1zvoU6tmg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXjcUfpPv8k Nobody does Reverse Delay like…Click on the title for more

Diamond Pedals Tremolo

Of all the new effects released by the new (SolidGoldFx-driven) team behind the venerable Candian pedal brand, the Diamond Pedal Tremolo is probably the most intriguing - with the exclusion, of course, of the legendary Memory Lane delay.

Mooer Ocean Machine

Mooer got us used to tiiiiiny pedals, so the large stompbox called Ocean Machine stands out, to say the least, as an unexpected device from the Chinese manufacturer. The product is a collaborative effort with Canadian producer/guitarist Devin Townsend, and it has gathered a lot of fans since its launch…Click on the title for more

Electro-Harmonix Hell Melter

The Electro-Harmonix Hell Melter, as you may have guessed, is not a pedal for the gentle electric guitarist. Catering to the metal crowd (those who use their 6-string to "melt" stuff), this stompbox is a love letter to the "chainsaw" tone made popular by a string of Swedish Death Metal…Click on the title for more
