Some may get reviewed, others I will just drool over, but all 3 pedals are worth knowing about.
Coffee Shop Pedals Cortado Multi Reverb
Back at it with a thunderous third release, Coffee Shop Pedals takes their Affogato schematic and goes full into reverb. This pedal allows for the same easy, excellent saving of presets without over complicated programming. However, if you’re into that complicated stuff, there is MIDI functionality even included!
The reverb voicings available include Hall, Spring (my new favorite), Tremoloverb (which I want to try!), and Octave. That’s quite a few options, including the crazy fun sounding Tremoloverb that I absolutely want to use for some psychobilly punk tunes. But if you do take advantage of the MIDI capabilities, you can save and recall up to 20 presets. If you’re a layperson like myself, you have three (which is enough!) available just using the pedal footswitches. So yeah, this is freaking cool. Go grab one on Reverb now if you’re into flexible reverb!
Gear Ant Cicada Fuzz/Phaser
This pedal is not going to be for everyone, because it produces some far out there sounds. But sheesh does it sound and look fun as hell. I’ve been into the fuzz and modulation combo thing recently. It really started by stacking gain on that MNTNS Phaser, and now I’m cooking up demos on all kinds of fuzzy creations. This Cicada fuzz/phaser available now over on Reverb if you’re looking for something out of this world.
There’s volume, fuzz, speed, and depth controls to shape your sound from something a bit more subtle to warbly, spinning, madness. It sounds like a dying wasp, but in a good way, and I personally can’t wait to get my hands on one to try. This Gear Ant creation is definitely one of the more inspiring pedals in the sense that you may never know what tone you’re gonna get when you first plug in.
Oneder Effects Onederwall Fuzz/Drive
If there was ever a pedal for my Oasis loving ass this is the one. Even better, it comes from one of my current favorite pedal makers, Oneder Effects. You may remember them from such hits as the Red Ryder or the Major Award, but perhaps they are best known for the original Oneder Drive. The Oneder Drive has now been revamped, and renamed the Onederbolt, which makes up half of this double pedal called the Onederwall. The other half is a new Muff-style fuzz from Nick Diener and screwed up mind. Seriously have you seen what he posts on Instagram? Get the man some help.
This pedal may not be as out there as the previous two entrants, but having a really flexible drive and a muff style fuzz in one box is ALWAYS a good thing. Take up one less power supply slot in your rig and retain the gain versatility you and I both crave for our punk and post-punk leanings. I actually foresee this going right on my live board, taking two pedals off it and opening space for something else on that extra power cable. Stay tuned on Reverb to see when Nick from Oneder will have them up!
