Demo: Red Panda’s Raster Digital Delay

This video review of Red Panda’s Raster with Dan Elkan and Nick Reinhart is one of my favorite videos we've done on Pedals And Effects. This pedal is so deep, I knew I had to ask pedal wizard, Dan Elkan, to help me really do this insane digital delay, justice. What I love about this video is that Nick comes in like a guy who hasn’t played through the pedal at all. Then Dan comes in and, in a highly detailed approach, shows Nick what is so fantastic about this pedal.

You guys are all super enthusiastic and curious about pedals and effects, it's a joy to demo and do clinics for you. The Earthquaker Devices boards are split in two, one board is all modulation and the other is all dirt, distortion, fuzz etc. We are often asked about a certain fuzz pedal, and today we'll get into the nitty gritty. It's the Fuzz Master General!

Vintage Pedal of the Week: Pearl OC-7

Usually on Thursday we’ll do a Throwback Thursday post, but every now and then we like to switch it up. So today I'd like to take a moment check out some of our favorite vintage, hard to find, or discontinued pedals. So in a way, it is still a Throwback Thursday of sorts as we reflect on the gear of yester-year. For today's entry of Vintage Pedal of the Week we’ll be talking about the Pearl Octaver OC-7.
