Blues Driver: $70
For just a touch of dirt and push, the Boss BD-2 Blues Driver has been a perennial favorite for both bedroom players and celebrities such as John Mayer and Brad Paisley. Falling somewhere between your amp's natural clean tone and the mid-soaked scream of an Ibanez TS-9, the Blues Driver hits the sweet spot of articulation and grit.
EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Small Signal Shredder: $70
Though modeled off of Ibanez's classic Tube Screamer, the EQD Plumes is not merely a clone. Instead of using an IC op-amp in the circuit, EQD replaces it with what it calls a "low-noise JFET op-amp for a more robust and precise signal, with a significantly lower noise floor." So whether you crank it or use the pedal at more modest gain levels, you’ll keep extraneous noise to a minimum. A 3-way toggle lets you choose between clipping options for either a more compressed or more transparent sound. While the Tone knob lets you add bass or high-end without losing mids.
JHS Electro-Harmonix Soul Food “Meat & 3” Mod (Klon-style) $155
The Electro-Harmonix Soul Food JHS Meat & 3 Mod takes a modern overdrive classic and puts it even closer in reach to the original Klon with the addition of a three-way clipping selector switch and side bass contour knob. Now able to go from factory Soul Food clipping to a harder open to a traditional germanium mode, each section is even further customizable with the addition or subtraction of a meaty low-end.
JHS 3 Series Octave Reverb: $80
In the early 1980s, Brian Eno invented an effect called “Shimmer,” which was popularized in U2’s The Unforgettable Fire (1984). The effect mixed ambient reverb and octave effects in the reverb’s decay. The 3 Series Octave Reverb is our take on this classic effect that has been used for decades to allow the guitar to create pads and textures that fill out ambient space. Toggle up layers in upper octave sounds, while toggle down layers in lower octave sounds.
Walrus Audio Monument Harmonic Tap Tremolo V2 2018 - Present - Coral / Black - $130
The Monument Tremolo is both a harmonic, and standard tremolo that produces a rich, luscious, warm pulsating modulation capable of peaks and valleys as smooth or as jagged as the real ones that our dear mother nature created long ago.
Farm Pedals Sweet Leaf Deluxe Fuzz - $160
“The Sweet Leaf Deluxe is just that, a deluxe version of our Sweet Leaf Pedal... it puts control into the previously uncontrollable. There is a greater range of FUZZ, TONE and VOLUME on tap, and that's all I have to say about that.”
