So this has been on the cards for a while, in fact I needed to get an update of both boards featured here, as the first version I had was almost a year ago now. The idea was always to feature reader’s pedalboards - which had been somewhat noticeably / significantly inspired by this very site.

And I’m delighted that Long-term GPX friend and pedal fan Cyril Demaegd, board game designer / developer (founder of Ystari Games) and touring musician, has been somewhat ’Inspired by GPX’ since December of...

February can often seem a rather odd month after the hustle and bustle of NAMM Show January - where a lot of new stuff always gets announced - while increasingly outside the NAMM schedule - but certainly in and around it! Projects delayed from the previous year often get released in January, but this year those kind of seem to be more spaced out - with some not feted to happen until March / April. February always seems slow compared to January, and that sometimes extends into March too before ...

In my recent review of the Kernom Moho Magmatic Fuzz - I already lauded it to the high rafters as the greatest Multi-Fuzz pedal ever created. It’s the perfect tool for proper fuzz fans - and in particular for those who have fully mastered the relatively tricky Zvex Fuzz Factory and similar - all those should get along with the Moho fabulously. Newbie fuzz fans may find the device a little tricky to dial in - as every knob impacts the texture and tonality of the output - so pretty much all 6 ...

As mentioned, the KMA Machines Endgame Duality Calibrator has been several years in the making, and no expense has been spared in delivering the ultimate end-of-chain tone-enhancer - this thing is wholly feature-packed!

It combines True Stereo Double-Tracking, with stereo width enhancement, with Stereo FX Loop, Celestion IR / Cab Sim, with further Tube Power Amp Sim - options for Bluetooth or TRS inputs, alongside Ambient Space Simulation, and a plethora of connectivity - with pertinent ...

This has long been my favourite octave pedal - which took me 6 months to chase down originally - as they first weren’t available for overseas purchase, and then were in very short supply.

The Triplegraph has an amazingly robust construction - beautifully engineered - and a pedal that gets daily use from me! I would like to see some enhancements to the format - so we get more DigiTech Whammy / Boss S-Bend functionality here also - so we can set the Rise and Fall Time, and select additional ...

This exercise has totally underlined just how much of a tone genius Andy Timmons is. His pedals are selected incredibly carefully and deliberately - and don’t just have that certain glorious sound about them - but beautiful dynamics, harmonics, smart guitar volume gain clean-up and an abundance of musicality. 

Andy wrings magic out of each and everyone of these pedals - and his Halo Dual Echo algorithm / preset is amazing - and can sit under anything and make it sound at least 50% percent ...

So there’s actually a lot more to Boss’s new FS-1-WL than you might be aware of at first glance. It’s obviously some sort of Bluetooth and MIDI enabled Foot-based controller which gives you 3-button control over a variety of devices and functions.

Boss’s Waza Air and Waza Air Bass 3D Headsets are a shoe-in here, as is the Pocket GT Effects Processor, Katana Air Amp, and GX-100 Multi-FX Processor - all either with Bluetooth onboard, or Bluetooth capable via Boss’s Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual ...

Most Katana Amp users should be familiar with the Standard 6 footswitch GA-FC floor-based Foot Controller - which has been around since before the first Katana Amps were introduced in September of 2016. The idea was of course that you could switch between 4 Channels and Panel Mode and Two routes of Loops, Reverbs, Boost settings etc.

A single TRS lead connected the controller to your Amp - which provided sufficient power for the LED’s and switching. You had two further jacks where you could...

It is with much sadness that we bid a fond farewell to Tom and his faithful companion Cooper - who have now retired from the Cooper FX brand as such. Tom’s protégé Dan will continue to make his new Expression Generator and Signal Path Selector utility pedals as long as there remains a demand for those.

The Cooper FX Generation Loss, Arcades and Outward though have all ceased production. While there is still some hope that the final Arcades Modular Card - based on the DigiTech Space Station ...
