Pedals & Effects - Page 16

Fuzzrocious Pedals has revived its Dark Driving overdrive and distortion pedal with a third version. What started as a one-knob stompbox has grown into a more flexible tonal device that is still able to capture the original Dark Driving pedal’s sounds.

Over the course of 2022, we covered nearly 50 new pedals and effects. Here are the top 10 No Treble reader favorites for the year.

Coppersound has updated its Telegraph Pedal for 2022 with version 2. Fitted with all-metal hardware, the kill/stutter pedal retains the original’s design aspects but has a brand-new circuit.

After years of being discontinued, Darkglass Electronics has reintroduced the Duality pedal as the DFZ. The new pedal has the same circuitry while being housed in the same streamlined concept as their recent B1K.

Eventide has launched a new flagship pedal with the H90 Harmonizer. Building upon their H9, the new unit features 62 effects with a comprehensive I/O and flexible routing for a wide palette of sounds.

Drybell has added a new compressor pedal to their lineup with the Module 4. The unit is a modern take on the vintage Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer of the ’70s but also has a “full frequency” mode by pressing an orange button.

JET Pedals has released the Red Sea, a new analog utility pedal that offers complex signal routing options. The routing matrix allows for stereo and mono signal options for live performance that the company says has only been found in a studio environment.

Boss has reimagined the SL-20 Slicer into a more user-friendly pedal format called the SL-2 Slicer. The unit chops sound into unique percussive patterns with output options to create grooves in stereo, the company says.

Aguilar Musical Instruments has unleashed a new distortion/fuzz pedal called the Storm King. Named after Storm King Mountain in the Hudson Valley, the micro pedal draws from the Tone Hammer amp’s drive circuit but is pushed to the limits.

Tech 21 has added a new piece of gear to their Geddy Lee Signature lineup with the YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp. The pedal has the same feature set as the limited edition Geddy Lee MP40 model, which swiftly sold out.

Acorn Amps has unveiled the ADHD, a pedal they say is a “glitch, filter, bit crushing, octave, square wave guitar synth oscillator disguised as a fuzz pedal.”

Walrus Audio has introduced a new fuzz pedal called the Eons. The pedal has five selectable fuzz textures for delivering “massively thick sounds.”
