Golden Plexi is a classic rock amp sound turned up to eleven, with a timeless plexi-style tone lifted from the very best legendary black and gold amplifiers.

In 2022, we made an updated version of the Golden Plexi boasts a tightened and improved gain structure for a more focussed sound with enhanced dynamics! We called it Golden Plexi 2, and it has being very popular from its launching. Meanwhile there are many inquries about the Golden Plexi. We realize that we should not let anyone who would love Golden Plexi miss this amazing MINI pedal wonders. So in the 2025 version, Golden Plexi is back !

In the 2025 version, an added toggle switch allows users to switch from our classic Golden Plexi tone to Golden Plexi 2 tone. This version has also been optimized the high frequencies in TONE. this make it very quiet.

Four controls on this mini pedal has incorporated the essentials. The volume control acts as you would normally expect, with the tone and gain controls having a wider range than you would expect. Delivering everything from a sweet crunch to crushing high-gain,this versatile pedal lets you attain fantastic tones suitable for blues, rock and metal.

The sensitivity of the tone control means that you can run this pedal into the clean channel of nearly any amplifier, and get the classic Plexi sound you are craving. Keep the control low for a smooth lead tone, or crank it higher for a more cutting sound that'll pierce through nicely in a mix.

All in all, this is an mini wonders that no one should miss.

Learn about these and get the tone you want.

This pedal is only powered by DC 9V power supply.

The all new look PEACEKEEPER (MKIIB)! To celebrate our 10th year in business, the Peacekeeper has had a makeover. The same tones you love, with refreshed artwork.

The PEACEKEEPER is our take on a low gain overdrive designed to suit all guitars and all amps whilst delivering the sweetest on the edge to crunch tones you have ever heard. Hyperbole aside, this pedal has some very cunning tricks up its sleeve, by combining a post gain active Treble and Bass circuit with a pre-gain Mids/presence control you are able to tailor the overdrive character and tonality to your exacting needs. The pre-gain mids control allows you to move from a very smooth mid scooped gain type to a more pronounced mid humped gain with all the subtleties in between. Post gain the active treble and bass controls adapt that focussed gain stage to achieve the tonality you desire/need. Used as a subtle boost into your amp (ala Klon style) or as an "on the Edge" overdrive, the PEACEKEEPER will make you wonder how you sound so good!

Aside from achieving fantastic sonic credentials the PEACEKEEPER is built like a tank with physical features such as recessed knobs and top mounted jacks. Robust build does not have to come at the sacrifice of looks, the PEACEKEEPER uses a combination of a beautiful laser engraved anodised aluminium console wrapped in a tough baseplate.

Internally the premium sound is enhanced through the use of premium components all wrapped in a beautiful custom engineered enclosure.

You asked for it, you got it. My take on one of the rarest and most sought after Boss pedals - the Slow Gear.

The Slow Gear is an automatic volume swell effect. It mutes the signal normally, and once the signal level crosses a certain threshold it fades it in at a set rate.The resulting effect is similar to using a volume pedal, providing a violin-like “attackless” onset of the notes.

It takes some adjusting of both the attack and sensitivity controls to dial it in for the strength of your pickups, pick/finger attack and other pedals in front of it. These two controls are highly interactive.

It’s a bit of a quirky circuit and may not have the range of more modern digital swell effects, but it’s a total classic and highly sought after for a reason. An all-analog pedal that can be a really useful tool in your toolbox, and just a lot of fun to play around with! Combine it with delay and reverb for huge ambient swells. Or create quick violin like staccato swells.

Modifications from original Boss Slow Gear:

The biggest mod is that I put in a complete compressor circuit added in before the swell circuit. I stumbled across this idea by trying a compressor pedal in front of my Boss Slow Gear and noticed that it increased the sustain and smoothness of the swell. I also figured since you might not use the swell effect all the time, this gives you an excellent compressor to use on your pedalboard when not using the swell effect. Just turn up the sensitivity control all the way to disable the swell effect, and adjust the compression and volume knobs to use the Slow Life like a normal compressor pedal. I’m SUPER happy with the compressor circuit I put in here. It’s a diode compressor, inspired by the Rothwell Love Squeeze, a compressor designed simply to sound right with guitars, without any bizarre “pumping” effects and without much added noise. Low level signals can be raised by as much as 20dB without boosting high level signals, so when used in front of distortion - either in a pedal or an amp - leads lines can be fattened up without chords sending the distortion into mush. Range control added to slightly increase the speed of release over the original (I could only do so much within the restraints of the original cirucit). The short swell speed is a common complaint from users and this is a fix that gives you a little longer swell times if desired. It works in conjuction with the Attack knob. Volume knob added to attenuate the volume added by turning up the compression. True Bypass switching. The original had BOSS’ buffered bypass that can affect your tone when the pedal is off. Compress fully CCW, Range fully CCW and Volume fully CW is a “stock” vintage BOSS Slow Gear.

Tip: using your fingers instead of a pick can really strengthen the intensity and smoothness of the auto swell effect.

• Uses a standard BOSS style 9V centre-negative power supply (no battery clip). - Do not run any higher than 9V to prevent damage. Standard 100ma power supply will be more than enough.
• A silent relay switch system has been deployed. Quieter and longer lasting than standard mechanical pedal foot switches.
• Designed and built with love and attention in Vancouver Canada in small batches.

The Carbide is a pulverizing distortion pedal that captures the mighty "chainsaw sound," typically associated with a cranked HM-2, and much more.

If you’ve been a fan of music with guitars tuned lower than standard in the last 30 years, there’s a chance you’ve heard of this hot new sound, usually associated with heavy riffs and power tools. In lay terms, the Carbide is a pulverizing distortion with heady boosts to certain frequency bands—three of them, to be exact—and a ton of volume. Officially, obtaining this “chainsaw sound,” as it came to be known, consists of plugging into a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal and maxing all four knobs. Our Carbide starts with this at its base, then tweaks the majority of the distortion circuit for maximum crunch and thud. Instead of giving you a paltry blend control, the Carbide splits your signal into two paths; one path heads to a powerful clean boost specially configured to downtuned instruments, the other heads into the gears of the distortion. Each path is given its own volume knob before being mixed in parallel, letting you fine-tune the right amount of dirt. An Emphasis control tightens up the extreme low end while cutting treble, letting the boosted frequency bands jump out of the mix. Let’s head in.
