Read MoreGreetings pedal heads! Nick Reinhart checking in with ya and I’m super excited to show you the DOD Gonkulator reissue! A while back a little bird had told me that Digitech/DOD mastermind, Tom Cram, was working on this, and I was pretty excited about it.
Read MoreWe always get excited when we catch wind that Jamie Stillman and the crew from Earthquaker Devices is working on a new pedal. The intensity around here went through the roof when we heard that the "ultimate fuzz" would be coming from them. The time is now and here it is, The Erupter! No need to dime this fuzz because Jamie did it for you. You can't put this pedal on blast because it comes, out of the box, on blast with the solo knob at twelve o'clock!

Godlyke’s TWA Fly Boys series mini pedals, which include Distortion, Overdrive, Chorus, Metal and a great delay simply called Echo, are made with the aerial traveling & touring musician in mind.
Read MoreOkto-Nøjs - Just when you thought it was safe to turn up, the Okto-Nøjs by Emma Electronic gets you busted by the decibel police. The sure fire way to rattle the stage is to have an amazing ripper of a pedal like the Okto-Nøjs because it contains two lethal effects in one box!
Read MoreGot a short, but sweet one for you today! We have four of the most demonic fuzzes going head to head in an evil fuzz shootout! We featured four fuzzes that all have optimal LED placements on the chassis, so that when the pedals are engaged they simulate spooky glowing eyes or maybe something even more diabolic!
Read MoreHere we go with another war series Unlike other wars we have waged on Pedals And Effects, "Reverb Wars" is almost like the war that ends in great public relations (if there ever was one) because they all sound so beautifully together. The Digitech Polara, Mantic Proverb and the Earthquaker Devices Levitation decided that joining forces is much better than war, and if you watch this here video, you will see exactly what we mean.
Read MoreI cannot tell you how grateful I am that Bass Player Magazine has asked me to grace their cover for the second time in my career. I am very honored, humbled, and overall stoked that it comes at a time that my band, Halo Orbit, has released its debut record.
