Read MoreAll of us here at Pedals and Effects love fuzzes and the incredible variety they come in. Whether it's a vintage Sovtek fuzz or a newer interpretation on that circuit like Earthquaker Devices' Hoof, it seems like no one can get enough fuzz! I started "Fuzz Wars" primarily because I get a lot of fuzz boxes sent to me. I can't seem to keep up with the reviews of all the fuzzes I receive, so I decided to knock out a few at a time and that is how "Fuzz Wars" emerged.
Read MoreEvery year in January a bunch of awesome musicians, engineers, and builders come through LA for the NAMM show. When I first got Pedals And Effects started, I decided to capitalize on that by getting my homies into 5Starr Sound Labs while they were in town for a feature or interview. Every single year we've got some great features and great interviews from awesome people all over the world!
Read MoreDwarfcraft has always built wild and adventurous pedals. Their Memento killswitch/stutter pedal is just as nuts as their famous bit-crunching, sequencing, pitch-shifting Pitchgrinder, and their ring-modulating, power-starving Hax! And if you know us, we're all about being adventurous.
Read MoreYou never know what's going to come through Pedals And Effects, and we're always pleasantly surprised when something really out there comes through the studio. At first glance, the Kármán Line seems like it might have fallen off of NASA's Mission Control instead of it being an effects pedal. You take a look at it and you're like "whats with the joystick?" but the Kármán Line happens to be one of the gnarliest modulated delays out there.

With so many builders making great pedals, we're happy to rep Fairfield Circuitry on Pedals And Effects, because their pedals deserve more recognition and attention and I know fans of this site will agree they make incredibly unique pedals.
Read MoreWith Pedals And Effects, expect the unexpected! Today we're not necessarily checking out an effect, but a very useful tool that can be a catalyst in really exploring sonic possibilities. Today it's the Red Panda Mixer! The Red Panda Mixer made our "Best Effects of 2016" list, and is easily one of the most handy pieces of equipment to come through Pedals And Effects.
Read MoreTouring definitely has its perks, and I’ve been so blessed and fortunate over the years to receive such wonderful gifts. Among some of the many things I’ve received over the years are some custom built pedals that YOU guys have made. One such pedal is this mystery “Green Monster” from Swansea, Wales. The pedal is as green and lush as it’s place of origin!Now, in 2017 The mystery has been solved, and the creator of this mysterious fuzz is Life is Unfair Audio.
Read MoreWe get dirt pedals sent to Pedals And Effects all the time, but when I get a really killer bass overdrive, I do flips and the SolidGoldFX Beta DLX has me suspended in the air! First, they took one of my favorite bass overdrives, their Beta, and gave it more smart options.
Read MoreIf you know Pedals And Effects, you know that of all the things we love, up at the top is without a doubt, fuzz! The engineering genius behind the Endangered Audio Research AD4096 spun off and started Moxtronix. The debut pedal from Moxtronix could not have made more of a statement, and that statement is one of the coolest fuzzes around that I'm proud to rep!
