So the Artist formerly known as ’Atom’ is now the much evolved ’Alkene’ Edition - a unique take on the Nobels ODR-1, with several modifications.

The long best considered element of Browne Amplification’s celebrated Protein Dual Overdrive has typically been the ’Green’ Nashville Overdrive channel. A very unique take on the Nobels ODR-1.

Over the years the circuit has been revolved and refined, and is now arguably the best sounding 3-knob ODR-1 - while you still have stiff competition ...

Pedal Jungle brings you a unique colourway edition of the legendary Montreal Assembly Count to 5 : 3-Mode Digital Sampler Delay. I picked up a classic original blue edition of this pedal back in 2018. Its tiny size conceals a fairly substantial feature set, and this was one of the very original glitchy delays.

I’m not aware of these ever being for sale in the uk previously - where we get the further bonus here of a unique custom black enclosure with white knobs colourway.

The Count to 5...

The SIXTY8 was one of Lawrence Petross’s first officially branded pedals. That materialised back in 2016 originally. Early versions had a ’Gain’ push-button - which presumably allowed you to flip between Green and Red channels early on - before that featured was incorporated into the footswitch.

I’ve long toyed with getting one of the SIXTY8 pedals - but that was Lawrence’s only Marshall pedal with just 2-band EQ. I’ve

always felt that a MIAB type really needs the full 3-Band EQ. In fact ...

I have been on an octave fuzz mission of late - building up towards a major rundown of 40 of my favourite ones (around half of my octave fuzz collection). I thought I had just 2 more targets to go - while I would really love to land this one also!

I’m a sucker for wood-panel pedals, and have a few of those varieties. I really like the aesthetic and format here. This is a really cool and expansive fuzz pedal.

Controls - Tone, Mid, Glue (Bias), Volume, Mids Cut Button, Bass Boost Button, ...

At first glance this pedal looks like it owes a lot to the Boss OD-1 and SD-1 - it has the same moniker, similar yellow hue, and same silver screw - which opens up a top-loading battery compartment - all quite distinct Boss markers.

You might expect this to be an OpAmp style OD-1 or SD-1 overdrive take, while this is an entirely different circuit with MOSFET transistors at its heart and generally a little more bite than the Boss variants. The main board is a reverse one - so you can’t ...

You should recall I was very keen on the Teaching Machines FuzzBillion last year and made that my Pedal of the Year 2025. Where this Big Fuzz Console is already a hot favourite for that honour this year!

It is based on Darren’s Big Muff breadboarding circuit - that he uses to develop his various Big Muff variants - where he can experiment with different component values - in pursuit of the perfect output for that style.

He’s formalised and refined his development circuit - to form this ...

Celebrating The Visual Artistry of Effects Pedals

This book features an excellent selection of brands and pedals, while it doesn’t include all my favourites - but features most of the usual suspects - and also covers a few brands that I’ve yet to feature on my site.

There’s just a handful of killer books on pedals - my long-term favourite has always been Pedal Crush - which was in part inspired by Guitar Pedal X. You also have The Boss Book, Made On Earth for Rising Stars : The Electro-...

One of Brian Wampler’s very best pedals - this combines a Marshall Silver Jubilee Overdrive voicing with a circa MESA/Boogie Mark IIC/+ Distortion voicing - both blisteringly good!

You get the classic 3 controls per side, each side also gets its own ’Character’ switch - which for the Overdrive side is a Higher Gain Range / Gain Structure switch, and for the Distortion side delivers more Brightness. You also get a central switch to select the order of Effects.

Controls - DS / Mesa Mark ...

Here we have a revival of the near decade and a half old Dr. Scientist Reverberator 9-Mode Reverb. It’s a versatile mono pedal with 8 x Reverb Modes, and a 9th bonus chorusey Rotary Mode.

We have a very elegant control topology with just 4 controls - Mix, Level, Delay Time : Short / Long, and the 9 x Modes.

Controls - Mix, Level, Delay Time : Short / Long, MODE : H1 Bright Hall / H2 Warm Hall / R1 Bright Room / R2 Standard Room / R3 Warm Room / P1 Standard Plate / P2 Bright Plate / P3 ...
