Behringer Vintage Tube Monster VT999 - "Bon rapport qualité prix "
I bought a used one. I changed the old 12ax7 Brugera for a 12au7 G.E NOS, but the loss of gain was too much. I finally put a 12ax7 JJ, and I am satisfied. The sound ranges from a light blues overdriv…
DigiTech RP1 - "Digitech RP-1. "
I bought my first one in 1997 and the second one in 2013, both have been reliable . One draw back, the transformer is located too close to the display screen, so I put in some heat resistant washe…
Korg Miku Stomp - "Why not, it’s crazy."
Crazy pedal. I got it because I’d seen the hologram character sing on a video and thought it was wild. Pedal is absolutely crazy. Really sounds like the character vocalizing. Apparently you can m…
Ernie Ball 6180 VP Jr 250K - "Volume classic"
The JR is already big. Works great. Nice swells, smooth and stay in position. Tuner out. Passive so you don t need power. Not so much to say about it. It s a classic. I once tried to take it…
Vertex Effects Systems ultra-phonix HRM - "Good OD"
It sounds good. Obviously I didn t compare to a dumble amp (and if so which one, etc....). But it s a nice and articulate Overdrive. Going in the Marshall direction to my hears. A Guv'nor-ish tone…
Dunlop 535 Cry Baby - "Versatile Wha"
It s a good horse. You can go from heavy metal to blues with this pedal. All with the cry baby flavor of course. The multi Q gives you all the kind of range you need from very low to high pitch. …
Korg Ax3g - "Hidden gem"
I’ve had this one for awhile now. I’ve mainly used it for direct recording and general practice with a small Marshall amp. I probably wouldn’t recommend this one for live stuff unless you spen the t…
Sonicake Octaver - "One Octave down and/or Two Octaves Down with Dry Blend - Sounds Great!"
An octaver goes back to the 1960s, originally designed by Roger Mayer for Jimi Hendrix. As applicable for the bass player or keyboardist, an octaver adds breadth, depth, fullness and a hint of eerie …
Line 6 M9 - "Decent multi effects for the money"
I bought this pedal primarily to use with a synthesizer; more specifically, because it has a wahwah pedal model that can be controlled with an expression pedal, and Stereo i/o. I don't know of any st…
Korg Pme-40x - "Major mojo"
For a long time I thought this thing was just another failed guitar system from the 80's, and superficially it is, but now that I've had the chance to plug a variety of synths and drum machines into …
Boss OD-20 Drive Zone - "gotta know how to use it"
I tried. And I tried. Could never get a great sound. However, I A/B this unit with some of the originals and it sounded BETTER than BOSS originals. Just now I was morbidly curious and I put it at …
EX Amp Reverb - "ENO Reverb is the brand and is a great little reverb!"
I have 2 other reverb devices dedicated in other places and wanted a cheap one for my preamp into a Mooer Radar setup I run into my PC or PA. Got this on Aliexpress for $25 USD! Very pristine sound q…
Zoom 1010 - "Still lovely after all these years"
Once bought as my first effects pedal and having used literally hundreds of different pedals and multi effects units from various manufacturers since, from time to time I keep coming back to this lit…
Marshall JH-1 The Jackhammer - "Well built with wonderfull distortion"
I am using it to boost some distortion to my guitar on the Marshal Mustang II (v2) amplifier. It does it well! Strong and rich with many ways to shape it up to your taste. Limit the overdrive channel…
J. Rockett Audio Designs Immortal Echo - "Clean, Clear and Easy-to-Use Delay at a great Price"
SOUND: The Immortal Echo is best described as clean and clear. This pedal is at a very good price, which means it is more of a barebones pedal than some other delays that may offer several types of…
