So I actually did a feature on this back in February of last year, while Joe Light / Joe’s Pedals didn’t get new Subdecay stock in until the start of this year. My friend Phil at Pedal Experiments reviewed / demoed this quite some time ago, and my friend Cyril M got his second hand off eBay quite some time ago also - so I’m a little late with this one, but it’s been well worth the wait.

At its core this is a dual-fuzz, where you blend together a Digital Wavefolder Fuzz, with an Analog Fuzz....

So it seems like some of you did not like the original copper and blue tree of life aesthetic of the original. I rather quite liked it myself, but do concede that said design is somewhat busy, and can get in the way of the pedal legends to a degree.

To which ends KMA has released a 200 Limited Run of a more utilitarian all-black edition - with the simplest of  geometric outline graphics. Meaning you briefly now have a choice as to how your ENDGAME looks.

Everything else is the same - ...

So kind of at the top end of high quality extended range attenuators - you have Universal Audio’s Ox Box and Boss’s Waza Tube Expander - both relatively large and pricey propositions. Obviously very popular for Studio work, but not always within the budget of the home-player.

Boss now has a solution for that - with a considerably more compact and affordable version of its class-leading Tube Amp Expander. Now with Bluetooth capabilities on board too!

Original W-TAE Controls - Reactive ...

I believe the the ’V’ in V-Guitar stands for for ’Virtual’ (i.e. ’Virtual Guitar Modelling’)- where the VG-800 empowers you to model near enough every significant format / variety of Guitar or Bass.

I was initially a little confused as to where this sat in Boss’s ’Synthesizer’ range - and what its relationship was to the flagship SY-1000 and GM-800 devices. Where my lane within all of this is more the SY-1 and SY-200 editions. I like the idea of the SY-1000 - but don’t really have the real ...

Boss’s new BIC Instrument Cables offer up a real splash of colour in an otherwise monochrome world. Where the packaging is totally genius too. These are highly individual high quality instrument cables - the you can mix and match with the colour of your guitar. I personally would really need a dark blue one to coordinate - while I really like the majority contrast of these cables.

These quality BOSS cables preserve your tone while bringing a vibrant look to your rig connections. Available ...

For owners of Boss’s Multi Effects Processors - say GX-10 and GT-1000 for instance - you now have 2 different sized cases / tote-bags to carry and protect those between deployments. These are handy softshell bags with plenty of padding - to offer ultimate protection and portability for Boss’s more expansive pedals.

"Stylish, lightweight, and durable, the CB-BM Series cases are the ideal solution for transporting your BOSS multi-effects unit and essential accessories. They are a perfect fit ...

So I’ve had my Hamstead Redwing for barely a week now, where I adapted to it incredibly quickly. My only challenge was in using a Strymon Mini Switch for the Hold function - possibly I need something else in that situation, while the Expression Speed Control is a breeze. UPDATE! - My DryBell F-1L kind of works for the Hold function - albeit it’s not entirely ideal - need to know what Mini switches are recommended for use with the Redwing Hold function?

Back in August of last year Thorpy and Andertons collaborated on a vintage-inspired Anniversary pedal in an Andertons Sparkle Blue Enclosure - which was a limited run of only 200 pedals - and only available direct from Andertons.

The Tremolo side was designed by Dan Coggins when he was just a 14 year old, while the MKI Fuzz Side is another Thorpy classic Fuzz - and a kind of teaser / preview for the eventual Silicon Boneyard Edition - whenever that gets released!

Both circuits are ...

When I started this exercise it was initially just about documenting those compressors I already owned - where obviously the Chase Bliss Clean is the most recent addition.

A Becos FX CompIQ Mini Pro has long been on the cards - but hasn’t happened quite yet - things often take interesting turns along the way - that one will almost definitely be the next one to enter this particular capsule collection.

My very first compressor was the Xotic Effects SP Compressor Mini - where I bought a ...
