Weird "Glitchy as hell" octave pedal with Delay capabilities

This beautiful, nasty "octave" pedal can do octave down, up and straight glitched out detune kind of signals to pair with your original tone. Jump on Youtube and check out some videos, there is no good way to explain this wacked out pedal with words.

Cool Tremolo/Volume/Boost(ish)!

Dunlop has had some great ideas and this one is at the top of the list! Push button (easy access even with a foot in shoe) Tremolo / Volume swith, Heel down volume knob and toe down volume knob for the "Volume" effect portion. Tremolo depth knob and an on/off light, Tremolo speed blinking light. Mono only but this is Tremolo, not a "Panning" effect so it works out just fine. "

A full of frills, affordable and reliable option!

Polarity switch, adjustable sweep and light weight. The only bad thing I have to say about them is that the cord is attached.

A travel guitar that fits under your plane seat and has a distinct tone for the studio!

These guitars are so very cool, they fit in a backpack that will fit under your plane seat and at the same time have a very distinct tone. I compare the one that I have to a Brian May type of sound and the play ability is very much in line with the Standard Stratocaster vibe. Mine goes to every show and gets in the car with me anytime I go anywhere... no telling where or when a gig might spawn up! The company is owned by a stand up fellow musician and very easy to contact. Good finish, fit and sound that can travel on your bike... Check'em out!

If it were smaller I would have gave a "5 star" rating

This is the craziest Flange pedal that you have ever heard.. Actually I think it's two flange pedals, a phaser and a tone generator all in one! Absolutely "psycho" indeed! A must if you are a fan of 70's Raggae, it gets that swirling Wailers sound

King of all Flangers!

Sturdy and yet not to heavy with a great sound! You can actually dial in a very nice Flange for Classic Rock all the way to Raggae

Very diverse plectrum!

There isn't another pic on the entire planet.. need it lighter? just loosen your hold on it.. Need it heavier? Choke up and hold firm! It's not going anywhere with the texture.. Again, there isn't another pic on the planet

Space Station in an easy "on/off" inexpensive box.. what else needs to be said?

Durable, cool sounds and not alot of money.. Grab it up before they cost a mint

Regardless what you have heard, this pedal rocks!

For a solid year and 4 months I have had this either on my touring board or IN my gig bag ready for the hotel room. It was a Christmas present "stocking stuffer" that my wife ordered on Amazon kind of last minute and I absolutely love it. The ability to go from straight up "RATISH" distortion to a very cool lower gain, mid scooped (thanks to the mid scooping switch on it) Octave up weirdo sound is awesome. You have the ability to turn the octave effect on and off while the gain is turned on so getting on planet Smashing Pumpkins isn't hard. BUY IT. It's worth its penny in the pocket price tag

Very usable and very inspiring reverb pedal!

This thing has a ton of features, everything from old fender reverb unit sounds to newer age "space" (shimmer) reverb. It's cheap enough to grab just to have in your gig bag for those open mic nights to ensure you always have reverb! Get it.

These can be very cool and for sure have their own tone

The Warlock is one of the few "pointy" guitars that you can sit on the couch and chill with. They have their own tone and their vibe totally, you can be yourself with it or be someone completely different ;) Usually well made and they come in just about any configuration you could think of from Floyd Rose and Humbuckers all the way to a simple wrap around tailpiece and a single coil.

First issue is possibly the best chorus ever made

I'll start by saying that I own the first issue of this pedal (first in the line of 3 shown as examples) and I'll second by saying you need one. If you keep it clean, as to keep the switch from failing, and don't try to powerbomb it through your pedal board it'll last a lifetime. The chorus here is very rich at low speed and mid depth settings and at 3/4 rate and full on depth you get some very cool Leslie style effects going! Stereo output requires the use of a stereo male 1/4 cable to either two mono 1/4 male ends or another stereo male 1/4 depending on application

have you put a TRS to dual TS insert cable into the output and gone to 2 amps?

Great distortion "effect"

This is a great pedal for a distortion effect rather than a good sounding drive pedal. Ministry or NIN covers? This is your guy! Look for serious distortion in the HM-2, RAT or even a modded DS-1

Good as an Octave pedal, bad as a whammy

The Pitchfork is a great Octave up/down ocatve pedal, although the octave down has very noticeable latency issues (with that said you can get some cool cello like effects out of it). If you are looking for Whammy style effects then stick with the Whammy, this is not a good alternative as you will not find that signature "Whammy" tone and nuance.

Great Reverb Pedal! It's got a gain knob just for the trails ;)

This is not a "no-frills" simple reverb pedal.. The 4 knobs have alot more in store than simply what they are labeled as... Check youtube for review videos, I've got a feeling you just found your new reverb pedal!

A very "real world" usable fuzz.. Yup works live and is predictable when it needs to be.

The Meatboy is a great fuzz box that is capable of being used live without buzzing and squealing to the point where the sound guy demands it gone from his stage. It can be dialed in to be predictable or it's one knob can push the pedal into some seriously broken amplifier tones. Very nice priced and hand made, you can't beat it for classic FUZZ!

Best Overdrive ever. Period.

Bar none, the best Overdrive pedal on the market presently and in the past. If you are looking for proof of this all you have to do is search "Tubescreamer users" and you will find everyone from SRV to Nashville power houses. The tubescreamer can and will do everything from clean boost to straight up hard driving cranked tube amp tones. Very reliable and very affordable.
