 GEAR REVIEWS 

Here's where you can get the lowdown on some of the more interesting guitar gadgets out there in pedal-land. We hunt down the new, the old and the weird, then assemble our gear-crazed staff for an afternoon of serious noise-making. The rag tag Guitar Geek test crew has been haphazardly selected from a twisted cross-section of musical styles to provide you with well rounded opinions on all this gear. If you have any gear you'd like to see featured here or would like to submit a pedal review please contact us.


 DEATH BY AUDIO - TOTAL SONIC ANNIHILATION


Need an abrupt regime change on your pedalboard? We suggest enlisting the Total Sonic Annihilation to complete the covert assignment! If sonic upheaval is what you need, then the new TSA is the right pedal for the mission. Just don't be shocked if it tortures your own pedals into doing the dirty deed for it. More...



 ELECTRO-HARMONIX - WIGGLER ALL TUBE VIBRATO AND TREMOLO


There is nothing quite like the combination of two hot glowing tubes, a tweakable tremolo and a wonderfully wobbly vibrato. Wait a second! Is there actually something like that? Believe it brutha! After all these years, Electro-Harmonix cranks out another one of their coolest pedal creations ever. More...



 EBS - MULTIDRIVE UNIVERSAL OVERDRIVE PEDAL


From a Swedish company that makes most of their pedals for bassists comes a top notch overdrive pedal that's one of the best-kept overdrive secrets just waiting to be discovered by guitarists. Who said Sweden only exported safe, sensible cars and super-cuddly pop groups? More...



 DIGITECH - XDV DIGIVERB DIGITAL REVERB


A stunning seven-mode reverb for under $100? After years of being out of the reverb pedal market, Digitech makes up for lost time with their new Digiverb. This one covers all the regular reverberated bases while still managing to add a few wild atmospheric twists that should win big points for soundscapists. More...



 ELECTRO-HARMONIX - THE HOLIER GRAIL REVERB


As if the original Holy Grail wasn't great enough! The heathens over at Electro-Harmonix have begat yet another righteous reverb. With a few new features, including the absolutely wicked "Golden Gate," will the Holier Grail be the next exciting chapter in the good book of 'Verb? More...



 FRANTONE - "THE SWEET" GERMANIUM TRANSISTOR FUZZ


Our faith in the fuzzbox is restored! With its wide range of tantalizing tones, glossy and gorgeous exterior and top notch components, The Sweet left all of the Geek staffers stunned and salivating. This also happens to be the first pedal we've reviewed to receive a perfect rating! More...



 DIGITECH - XDD DIGIDELAY DIGITAL DELAY


Digitech unleashes a new multi-mode delay in the form of their new and exciting XDD Digidelay. We delve into all of its amazing features and decide that, despite dropping some of the coolest features of their past PDS products, they have a real winner on their hands. More...



 LOOOPER - TWO LOOP ROUTING BOX


If tapping a ton of pedals onstage takes a toll on your playing, the Loooper switcher/loop unit might be your answer. With three separate success stories of routing mayhem from various GuitarGeeks, this insightful review covers all the signal path solutions the Loooper offers. More...



 DIGITECH - X-SERIES OVERVIEW


With over two decades of effects building behind them, Digitech/DOD finally release a line of pedals that steer clear of corny knob names, flaky footswitches and vanishing battery covers. We think their X-Series will finally stomp out the stigma that most of their pedals suck. More...



 ANALOGMAN - CLONE CHORUS


The man who has modified thousands of Tube Screamers takes a successful stab at recreating the classic Electro-Harmonix Small Clone. Not only does the Clone Chorus surpass the original in terms of sound, it also adds some new features than will impress most chorus nuts. More...



 ROGER MAYER - VISION WAH


With its' sleek space age design and infinite voicings, the Roger Mayer Vision Wah has enough firepower to blast us into the future and leave the competition in the dust. We spent plenty of stage and studio time with this amazing device and were never let down. More...



 GUYATONE - MICROS


These 5 new winning additions to the Guyatone line were a huge hit with the fickle Geek staff. We had a month to test and re-test these units and were continually impressed by them whether it was in the studio or on stage. Before we unload all the praise at once, here's some details. More...



 ROGER MAYER - VOODOO VIBE


The Voodoo Vibe is the crowning achievement in Roger Mayer's long history of effect building. The Voodoo Vibe tackles all your standard tremolo, vibrato, and chorus sounds but throws in a few unexpected tonal twists which catapult this into the stratosphere of modulation devices.. More...



 DANELECTRO - MINIS


Danelectro's cute and colorful lineup of 10 new stompers is not to be taken lightly. Despite their diminutive size and questionable plastic construction, there are more than a few Geek endorsed boxes in this budget conscious bunch. I wouldn't take these on tour but they are super for the studio. More...



 ROGER MAYER - STONE FUZZ


Another stunning fuzz pedal from the Roger Mayer fx line! The Stone fuzz will transport you back to the 70s in terms of fat tonal colors but will keep you happy today with its low noise and massive output. This shiny silver spaceship won us over within just a few short riffs. More...



 ROGER MAYER - VOODOO AXE


More fuzz madness from the fuzz heavy Roger Mayer headquarters! The Voodoo Axe takes off where the Axis fuzz left off by adding a tighter low-end, a massive output section, ac power, and a more compact housing. This box proves that fuzz isn't just for the 60s anymore! More...
