Critic Reviews

Stone Deaf PDF-2 & EP-1 Expression Pedal Review

guitar.com

The Stone Deaf EP-1 Expression Pedal, when paired with the PDF-2, transforms a solid EQ-filtering overdrive into a dynamic multi-effects unit. Its ability to manipulate frequencies with your foot introduces wah and phaser effects, expanding tonal possibilities. The pedal offers a robust build with adjustable treadle resistance, ensuring durability. While its best use might be subtle adjustments rather than rhythmic rocking, it excels in creating unique sonic textures. However, its true potential shines with the PDF-2, making it less versatile on its own. Overall, it's a powerful tool for creative expression, earning a thumbs-up for its innovative design and functionality.
