DOD has delivered an incredibly potent hybrid delay here - with a 750ms Analog BBD Delay at its core - powerfully controlled by digital means - which delivers different Waveforms and Friction Modes, Intense Modulation and a vast array of classic and otherworldly delay sounds.

DRAG Controls - TIME (750ms / 1.5s for Rubberneck Mode), LEVEL (Output / Intensity), FEEDBACK / Repeats, CURVE / TAILS (HOLD) : Press for Drift Waveform : Sine / Reverse Saw / Square / Random; Hold for Friction Mode : ...

This post has been a long time in the making - 3 days solid - with just a few hours of sleep overnight! I feel it might be my best coverage yet - for a nigh perfect show.

This time around pretty much everything went of perfectly - I was out the door very early in the morning - and at the Brighton Racecourse by 07:45! Phil had set up his Pedal Patch stand the night before - as had Paul from Flattley Pedals, and my good friends Wub from Ritual Devices and Rob from Timber Tones has just recently ...

PastFX continues its brilliant 2026 release cycle with 3 more exceptional re-worked, evolved and enhanced. They do the very best compact takes on classic effects - typically with a tonne of extra, special mods onboard!

There are already demos out for the OG-2 and Ring Modulator - so I will tackle these in the reverse order that they appear in the picture - that arrangement made visual sense - but since there is currently no demo out for the I.C. Mufnstuf it makes sense to tackle them in ...

I think everyone knows the story by now - how Josh somehow mistakenly included the wrong Clean/Boost Channel in the original NOTADÜMBLË pedal - the BBC-1, rather than the ’A Box Later’. While that’s been rectified now - along with a number of additions which appeared on Cosmodio Instruments DLX Mod, and Blammo’s TNYDÜMBLË.

JHS have done a brilliant exercise in upgrading the original - which now also includes a TRS FX Loop for the Clean / Boost side - so you can insert all manner of other ...

This is one of my two most favoured extended range Muffs - alongside TX Pedals’ Animalizzer. I first reviewed the Chief Disruptor back in January of 2022 - where that was a massively evolved and improved take of its Dead Stag Predecessor.

This new Bloodstone Edition has the exact same insides as the original Chief Disruptor - just with that more doomy all-black / blackout Bloodstone colourway - which some will undoubtedly prefer. I’m of course tempted, but I’m loath to double down on pedals...

A really elegant and tasteful Spacey Ambient Dual Channel Reverb with 2 identical Blue and Red Channels which you can set up independently and flip between on-the-fly.

This circuit sits inside Hungry Robot’s preferred landscape-style 1590BB type enclosure and features Boss-style silver-top knobs of different sizes to great effect.

This latest iteration of the Stargazer features trails, full wet/dry blend, and full stereo signal processing for the first time!

It further benefits from...

A few notes in advance! Obviously I’m a huge fan of Analog Modulations in particular, and especially compact boxes - which deliver the largest numbers in my reference collection. While I do also like Portrait style 1590BB types too - and these are mostly they! The Hamstead Redwing is a little larger, and the Boss XS-100 is one of the largest pedals I have in my collection - and appears here somewhat shrunk down - otherwise this selection would look decidedly odd.

There were some very deep ...

When I first visited Denmark Street in the Mid 80’s - both sides of the row were all fully bustling Musical Instrument Shops - mostly guitar-related. I bought my first guitar here - a black gloss Ibanez RG440 Roadstar II Deluxe back in late 1985 - around my 16th birthday. It was a brand new instrument - but I can’t recall what I paid for it, or which shop I bought it from - it was on the North side of the street for sure. While for a period I was crossing the street back and forth in ...

From a distance things look to be fairly similar (identical shape and dimensions) - but go closer - and you can see there’s a slew of new options and controls. The facia has double its previous controls - now 8 in place of 4; there are 3 controls on the rear panel - where there were none previously. And the optional extra Footswitch now has 2 further operational Modes to select via a 3-way rear slider-switch. We also have a new Spectral Dual Resonance Engine to extend the pedal’s prowess even ...
