I have to admit, I get very excited every time I see the UPS, FedEx or USPS truck come rolling up my street, because it usually means there will be a new pedal coming for Pedals And Effects!
Read MoreThis one is for all of you guitar players out there, since I know not all Pedals And Effects readers are bassists. Maybe I will showcase both of these pedals on bass in a future video, but today, I once again have the assistance of guitarist Mason Stoops to help me showcase these two amazing pedals and how they can add to your guitar sound.
Read MoreWhen I receive a pedal that fires me up and keeps me in my studio a few extra hours, I have to make a video for it ASAP just to let you all know what I found. The Pitch Bay by Earthquaker Devices is one such pedal.
Read MorePedals And Effects has brought you a Sub Wars before but these pedals, though similar, are mainly octave pedals so we dubbed this installment Sub Octave Wars! Please be aware that the low end coming through your speakers may rattle your speakers off their stands!
Read MoreThe Pedals And Effects 5, the builders series, continues with Matt Holl of Wren and Cuff. I met Matt Holl through a 2009/2010 email correspondence when I was investigating his Pickle Pie Hella Fuzz. I was weary of touring with my Sovtek fuzz and was looking for a suitable replacement. I hit up Matt and the rest as they say, is history.
Read MoreHere we go with the hardest pedal to pronounce - it is the Gjengangar by Pladask Elektrisk! This is a delay with some cool features you don't always see on a delay pedal. The Gjengangar has a gate for the delay, a feedback looper and effect blender. It seems Pladask Elektrisk has thrown in a lot of thought in building a better beast and this delay comes with a whole lot of innovation.
Read MoreNick Reinhart has been contributing to Pedals And Effects over the past two years but recently someone asked me how we met. I had to dig deep into my memory because it is a little fuzzy but here is what I remember.
Read MoreHere is a Fuzz Wars installment featuring Jonathan Hischke of Dot Hacker and Scott Shriner of Weezer as they review four pedals that are still in production and can be easily purchased from their respected manufacturers.
Read MoreThe Pedals And Effects 5, the builders series, continues with Brady Smith of Old Blood Noise Endeavors! I met Brady when he was working at Walrus Audio and he and Seth McCarroll decided to break out and start their own "niche based" pedal company. Their stuff is unique with a lot of features you may not find on other effects. These dudes build pedals that they wanted to use in their own musical endeavors (no pun intended).
Read MoreNick Reinhart got upset about calling our shootouts, "wars" so we have decided to call this pedal shootout episode, "Fun With Tremolos." Basically we took five tremolos and ran effected bass and guitar through them to see if we could demonstrate the key differences of all of them.
Read MoreAnother Throwback Thursday, another look back at a memorable audition! As I've mentioned before, I haven’t had to audition much over the course of my career. The few times I did audition usually ended in a gig, but in this particular instance, that just wasn’t the case. Let’s just say playing the music wasn’t the only difficult aspect of the audition.
