I remember the first time that I heard Queen’s Brian May. I was living in Montreal and as a youngster I was exposed to rock’n roll very early on thanks to my older cousins. I remember hanging out at my cousin David’s listening to CHOM FM and that famous bass line to “Under Pressure” came [...]

Guitarists are always after the proverbial Holy Grail of pedals that are going to get them that elusive high gain “mucho chunga” sound. We’ve seen our fair share of amazing products come through our doors and into your hands. With the Wampler Pinnacle, I am suffering from another “Here-I-go-again” syndrome. Just when I though I [...]

It’s no secret that I’ve always hated chorus pedals. I hate the way they get over used, especially in the 80’s, and I hate the way most of them suck the life out of your sound like Bela Lugosi after a week on a desert island with no food.

This pedal has the classic Tubescreamer sound using the JRC4558 chip like the vintage Ibanez TS808 going for a small fortune on E-bay. Not only is this pedal a more cost effective solution, but the designer graphics and the true bypass design make it a way better value and sonically superior solution. With beefed up [...]

It is said that he was chained to a rock in Caucasus and his liver was eaten daily by eagles and vultures only to be regenerated because of his immortality. Sounds pretty “METAL!!!” to me. [...]

Fact…Rob Keeler is a genius, period! He continues to up the ante with his new pedal design…a SHOVE in the right direction, if I do say so myself The SHOVE pedal picks up where the PUSH maxes out. This red dynamo packs a helluva lot of punch in a diablo red chassis. The overdrive can [...]

The Keeler Pull pedal is a low gain overdrive that is designed to sound like a tube amp clipping. This isn’t to be confused with what an Ibanez TS808 or TS-9 does. This pedal actually sounds like a tube amp going into power amp compression in the early stages. It puts out a rich, fat [...]

There has been so much hype (and phone calls!!!) over this Xotic BB Plus pedal. Due to parts supply issues and delays in manufacture, the wait was almost excruciating…but it was worth every second of anticipation. The BB Plus picks up where the AC Plus left off in term of gain characteristics. Anyone who’s looking [...]

The Keeler Push pedal is a versatile “Marshall in A Box” pedal. There are so many companies that claim to get the Marshall sound in a box but they all seem to fall short. With the Push pedal, it’s a whole new playing field. To my amazement, it sounded, felt and behaved as though I [...]
