The Flashback delay from TC Electronic is one of the best delay pedals on the market today. It has 11 delay types including looper, 6 seconds delay on all settings, audio tapping which is a tap tempo by strumming the strings, true by-pass, and the best part of all is the Toneprint. This feature allows you to upload different delay settings, straight from you iPhone. All you have to do is pick the setting from the toneprint app, hold the phone over the pick up, and the sound is transferred right to the pedal. How cool is that?
If you would [...] Read more

The new Eventide Space has arrived! Using some of Eventide’s most famous reverb algorithms, this is a must have reverb pedal for all effect junkies. I’ve used many reverb pedals before and must admit this goes way beyond anything I could ask for in a reverb pedal. With settings such as "black hole", "dualverb", and "shimmer" you can create your own movie soundtrack along with beautiful textures that are sure to bring any song to life.
The Space can store 100 patches that can be switched by banking up and down or through a midi controller. What I love most is [...] Read more

I find that the T.C. Electronic Hall of Fame pedal is the smoothest, richest sounding reverb pedal on the market with the most versatility yet. Hall Of Fame Reverb gives you 10 reverb types. The reverbs comprise of Spring, Hall, Plate, Room, Church and Ambience; from a subtle reverb to a full blown cathedral. Hall Of Fame Reverb features Decay, Color and Level controls, which makes dialling in sounds quick and easy. Hall Of Fame Reverb also has true bypass design, which ensures zero loss of tone when switched off, and features analog-dry-through which guarantees total tonal integrity of your [...] Read more

There are many great boost pedals out there, but one really stands out to me right now. The EP booster from Exotic Effects really makes the hairs on my neck stand up. It doesn't sound like a pedal and that's what I love about it. Based on the EP-3 popularized by greats like Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen, the EP booster is small enough to fit in any rig and sounds big enough to add that sparkle to your sound no matter who you are. This pedal would work best for a blues vibe with a Strat style guitar [...] Read more
