The Klowra Verdict definitely sits within POG territory - but with a much broader set of features and functions - including 2 variations of Freeze and Ramp Hold effects on the Footswitch.

Along with numerous shaping elements to get even more out of those octaves. Including Low Pass Filter and Attack and Release speeds.

This is a very finely honed high-fidelity device that performs superbly however you configure those settings. ...

What we have here is a similar technology to that featured on recent Positive Grid Spark Modelling Amps - where you use AI Prompts to define sounds and effects.

The Polyend Endless consists of a main 3-Knob Pedal Unit with Swappable Magnetic Face Plates, and a ’Playground’ App (currently in Beta) - for generating the various effects and algorithms.

The pedal further has dual footswitches - so you can assign one for tap-tempo or boost duties presumably. In and Out ports are TRS ...

You may recall that the last time I did a Mad Professor roundup I still had 3 long-term targets remaining - that I was hoping to land somewhat opportunistically.

And just recently my good friend Joe Light had a pristine second-hand Sky Blue available on his Joe’s Pedals store - which I snapped up at a great price. And while looking around for my other 2 active Mad Professor targets - I was given an offer on a near pristine Double Moon too - at a price that I could not refuse. So in quick ...

I first covered the Diamondhead back in November of 2019, and it’s been on the wishlist ever since. I guess I was never presented with the right opportunity - until I came across it during my Christmas visit to Reykjavik’s 2 main pedal shops - Tónastöðin and Hljóðfærahúsið.

It turns out that it was the only reasonably priced pedal that I encounter in Iceland - where it was priced at 32,500 ISK which amounts to around £192 equivalent. I had my father in tow - and he managed to wrangle a ...

So this is what everyone was expecting when we got the Nano Quad Cortex instead - which wholly dispensed with the innovative Interface / RotoStomp Controls - that made the original Quad Cortex so enticing!

Here we literally have mostly just the screen of that original in a smaller box - where Neural have had to adapt the interface just a touch to accommodated the reduced number of controls.

The pricing of the new unit is $1,399 vs $1,799 which is a 22% saving.

And the footprint is ...

OBNE teams up with Emily Hopkins to deliver her favourite glitch, signal crushing, and ambient sounds.

We’re familiar with the format by now - with this being the 5th in the square format - which started with the Stereo Dark Star Edition.

The same layout - but with different parameters. The PARTING is a slightly experimental device - and for the braver sonic adventurers among you!

Controls - Rate, Depth, Chance (variation), Smear, 7 x Wave Shape, Dissolve, Glitch, 3 x Presets, ...

The new style of enclosure has come a long way since the original gloss black and copper face-plate early devices. I’ve enjoyed every era of Fjord Fuzz, and the new standard is every bit as striking - and as instantly recognisable. You can still spot a Fjord Fuzz pedal from a mile off. And Daniel typically removes all brakes and limitations for each circuit - so you always guarantee a fuller flavour!

This is the 4th or 5th iteration of Vibe circuit - where the last 2 iterations (Frei & ...

Strange as it may seem - this is my very first ever Death By Audio pedal - where I’m determined to acquire all of the Destroyer Series - where the Stereo Dream Station Echo-Verb will most likely be my next target. I was hugely impressed by the demos, and while many DBA pedals are somewhat oversized for my preference - including the Fuzz War. These Destroyer Series ones are perfect compact variants.

It’s not that I haven’t intended to get DBA pedals before - but it’s just not happened yet - ...

This is the most affordable unit from the GX line of Boss Multi-Effects Processor - with the same high quality core of effects onboard. And instead to the 23 Guitar amp types and over 140 BOSS Guitar Effects that sit on the GX-1, the GX-1B has its own dedicated suite of Boss Bass effects - with 16 amp types and over 130 BOSS Bass effects.

All the same criteria apply with an identical control interface - just with a separate bank of effects.

Just like the GX-1 is the perfect first / ...
