This latest of Björn Juhl’s Fuzz creations is supposedly his favourite to date. A new circuit making use of 3 x TO-39 Metal Can 2N3439 Silicon Transistors.

It’s superb versatile - with the most texture with Fuzz around 9 / 10 o’c, and then full-on sear at Max.

The two settings I landed on immediately were :

• Max Harmonics : Volume @ 3 o’c, Fuzz @ 9-10 o’c, Treble @ 3 o’c
• Max Sear : Volume @ 3 o’c, Fuzz @ Max, Treble @ Max

Controls - Volume, Fuzz, Treble.

One of the killer ...

I initially covered this subject in mid-January - where I announced the arrival of the Tru-Fi Minis. 5 were initially made available, but at my time of coverage only 3 had reached the UK. Since then Teddy has released 3 more variants - and now 8 Minis in total have been released.

All 8 Mini Editions are now at Joe’s Pedals in the UK - priced at £199 each, where the original Tru-Fi USA price is $199 - all very fair.

Each of the 8 pedals are equivalent or better than the original larger size...

Many are not aware that TGT11’s Sebastian Nylund and Björn Juhl are the very best of friends. In fact Björn Juhl’s BJFE Pedals were at the root of the formation of the TGT11 Store. Sebastian was the original dealer and outlet for BJFE, and remains The key resource if you’re looking to acquire one of those pedals.

I assisted with the introductions between Joe Light and Sebastian - where Joe is one of my very first  and oldest friends in this sector. Each of those had killer brand ...

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 ...

All the new dealers - including Joe’s Pedals and Effekt Boutique will feature the two most recent Colortone Pedals - the Vibroverb (£219 / €289), and ZeroSum (£219 / €289), while some - like Joe’s Pedals will also have the Lo-Fi Delay (£239) and Spring Reverb II (€179).

All 4 of those pedals sound every bit as good as they look!

Northern Stomps’ new website is due to go live on this coming Friday (31st) - with those Colortone Pedals featured for launch.

There’s a few more dealers ...

I’ve long championed Matt Palmer’s Solarist combined full-featured Classic Fuzz and Rangemaster Boost. I have the V2 edition of the Solarist alongside a simpler format Solarist Green. Those were both originally reviewed back in November of 2023. I was very lucky to get those at that time - as Matt wasn’t really shipping outside the USA at that time - while a family member was due to come to England - and they brought the pedals across with them!

The V3 edition takes its styling cues from ...

I’ve featured both of these pedals on the site previously - the Pet Yeti in May of last year, and the Gravity Well later in October of that same year.

I stated at the time that I was particularly impressed with the Pet Yeti, and would like to add one such to the reference collection, with the Gravity Well down as a nice-to-have also.

That opportunity has just gotten a lot closer - with both those pedals now available at my good friend Joe Light’s Joe’s Pedals Boutique.

I’ve of ...

You should know by now that I’m a huge fan of Lichtlaerm Audio and have a special relationship with Joe’s Pedals here in the UK as well as Lichtlaerm’s Daniel Ringl. I own five Licthlaerm pedals to date as per my January update, and there are now two further candidates here - a 2-way Octave and Shimmer Reverb, alongside a really potent 60W Pedalboard Power Amp.

The As Above So Below Reverb is a fairly expansive and full fat Octave Shimmer type unit with FX Loop and ports for Ramping and ...

Readers will know that I’m a huge Marc Ahlfs / Skreddy Pedals fan, and a range re-stock is always a big event for me - even though I own a large number of these masterpieces by now.

The top row of the visual is particularly exciting as we get a rare reissue of some long discontinued pedals - all improved version of those classics - Ernie, ? Lady, and Mayo. Marc is one of the kings of Big Muff - which represents all of the top row and the Zero in the bottom row.

We also have the brand ...
