LiberaToe Brever - "Dual Channel Spring Reverb + Enhancer (great sound and analog)"
NOTE: I bought a 'module' of the Brever, but it is available in a full-pedal format for about $150. Brever may be as close as it gets to an actual amp spring reverb. Now, I am basing my opinion on…

LiberaToe LiberaToe-4 Pedalboard System - "The Most Advanced & Cost Effective Pedalboard System!"

Fender Excelsior - "Standing the Test of Time."
Strange amp, straight out off the sales floor from a local music store, Excelsior sounds fine at lower volumes (< 1/2) with just about anything with an output jack. Bright switch, volume, tremolo; ef…

Darwin is an analog touch-sensitive overdrive that can be purchased as a stand-alone pedal or as a module for the LiberaToe system (pedalboard/switcher). It’s amazing how any pedal or amp can sound d…

My first review for a LiberaToe pedal, and I can’t say enough about this company (I’m already into my eighth pedal from this company, with more reviews coming). Fire Sword is one intense distortion a…
Weber Mass 100W - "Game changer for tube amp tone on 50 watt fender bassman 1970"
This is a game changer for tone. I used to struggle to get the right tone with the right volume with my tube amp 6v6 1970 silverface bassman 50. Now I have sold my multieffect pedal and this is all I…
TC Electronic BH500 - "A underestimated top Basshead. "
The BH 500 is a top Head with a lot of sound settings, I think the RH.Series is not much better, only you can switch by a footswitch an can adjust the EQ a little better. But for the price the BH500 …
