When legendary pedal maker MXR asked me to do a video of a couple of their new pedals, I was excited to get started. I already reviewed their Bass Chorus Deluxe, so this time, I wanted to showcase their MXR Bass Overdrive.
Read MoreRarely, do I see an overdrive that really takes a totally different angle on the pedal’s tone. Usually, overdrives are designed to give you a grit or mild distortion to your sound.

I know guitarists who swear by them or one of the many clones of this pedal.

Read MoreNick Reinhart here, checking in with the pedal world. Today we're jamming the Devi Ever (but sort of Dwarfcraft) Super Soda Meiser fuzz pedal.

The Big Trees by Audio Kitchen fits that mold perfectly. When you first look at the thing you think, "wow this pedal is huge" but looks can be deceiving, as it's actually a 2.5 watt Class A tube amp that doubles as a really cool preamp. The homie Jonathan Hisckhe, dropped by and gave us at 5Starr Sound Labs a run down of this very unique piece of equipment.

Read MoreNick Reinhart is one lucky musician because he has such generous fans and friends who hand him free DOD pedals! Pedals And Effects are huge fans of the old DOD pedals from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and, of course, the new updated DOD versions. Well, when someone is given pedals as gifts, we feel obligated to at least do a video featuring the pedals, so here are DOD’S FX58 Metal Maniac and FX59 Thrash Master distortions!
