Read MoreThe pedal designs coming out today are reaching new frontiers. With inventive programming, we are now hearing some amazing advantages digital pedals can offer. With pedals like the Rainbow Machine or Pitch Bay, Earthquaker Devices brings to the market the pedals that help us achieve otherworldly sounds and textures.

Read MoreThe Red Panda Particle is easily one of my favorite effect pedals ever; it’s a granular delay/pitch shifting pedal but also offers so much more.

The way this pedal manipulates your instrument’s sound is simply beyond words.

Read MoreThe hustle never stops! Currently I'm about to wrap up the first leg of the Spring/Summer Dr. Octagon tour! Playing with the homies Dan the Automator, DJ Qbert and of course, Kool Keith has been a blast. We've been bumping subs each every stop of the tour, and I wanted to show you guys how I've been doing that, night after night.
Read MoreWhen the Warped Vinyl from Chase Bliss arrived, I only thought one thing…I bet this pedal will make a Pedals And Effects "Best Of" list. I would have to get some really amazing pedals in order for this to not make it on any of those lists.
