YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN ME, OLD FRIEND Price: $99 New (One Control) There are many loop switchers out there. Some of them are small, and some of them are big. Now, I’m not in need of (and, therefore, can’t justify paying for) something large like the Boss MS-3 or ES5 (though I’d love to get my hands on either!), or a GigRig unit. Really, all I … Continue reading Review | One Control White Loop
ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES Price: £65 used (eBay) When I realised I was going to win the auction of the Boss OD-20 on eBay, I looked around the internet to get a feel for pedal community’s opinion of the thing. I was surprised to find that the OD-20 is a divisive pedal – some out there consider it to be a great shortcut to … Continue reading Review | Boss OD-20 Overdrive

A REVERB BUFFET Price: £140 New (GAK) Just as I find myself coming back to Squire and Fender guitars, I cannot help myself but to seek out Boss pedals. I love them. At the time of writing, I must confess that I have just received another RV-6 in the post after selling my old one a week before. As soon as the RV-6 disappeared into … Continue reading Review | Boss RV-6 Digital Reverb
PHENOMENAL, IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT Price: £130 new (Endorphin.es) In the 2012 film Avengers: Assemble, Chris Evans’ Captain America (a man raised in the early 1900s and now living in the 21st Century) looks at a broken engine on a futuristic flying aircraft carrier in dismay. When Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man asks for a review of the damage to the engine, a … Continue reading Sponsored Review | Endorphin.es X Andrew Huang Ghost Pedal
FUZZY GOODNESS Price: £130 new (Pedal Tree Effects) I have already covered my dislike of fuzz pedals and fuzz as an effect in other posts, however I am once again here waving a white flag of surrender in my review of the Borke Fuzz, by Germany’s own Pedal Tree Effects. The Borke fuzz by Pedal Tree is a formidable little unit that spits in the … Continue reading Sponsored Review | Pedal Tree Borke Fuzz
THIS ONE HAS TEETH… Price: £185 new (AIB Custom FX) This pedal was lent to me to review by the generous and awesome Jamie from Jamie’s 1 Take Wonders. Go and check out his Instagram! ‘The Maw’.

DISTORTION, EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD BE Price: £150 new (Leyland Pedals) This pedal was lent to me to review by the generous and awesome Jamie from Jamie’s 1 Take Wonders. Go and check out his Instagram! Back in the late 1980s, Boss created something called the DF-2; this was their attempt at bringing feedback sounds to lower volume levels. Though ultimately dissimilar to the DS-1, … Continue reading Review | Leyland Hum Along

OVERDRIVE, YES. BUT SUPER? Price: £21 used (eBay) / £65 new I had high hopes for the Boss Super Overdrive SD-1, considering its legendary reputation and the countless tales of its brilliance and reliability (it is a Boss pedal). However, after spending some quality time with the SD-1, I must admit that I’m somewhat disappointed that it just didn’t do it for me. This might … Continue reading Review | Boss SD-1 Overdrive
