Housed in a compact, die-cast box with smooth corners, The Little Big Muff presents the classic, true-to-heritage, 1970 tone that falls somewhere between the current U.S. Big Muff and the Russian Big Muff. Its long, silky smooth sustain proves that celebrated sound can indeed come in small packages.

Feature:
For some odd reason, my volume and sustain knobs were reversed so instead of going from left to right sustain, tone, volume it goes volume,tone,sustain. doesnt effect the tone of the pedal though… at least to my knowledge. I havent tried any other LBM so I couldnt say for sure.
Quality:
built like a tank, as we like to say. really sturdy
Value:
at 66 dollars, what more could you ask for?
Desirability:
sound wasnt exactly what I expected but I grew to like it as I played it.
Sound:
Pretty amazing sound although when I turn the volume up on the pedal it will start crackling a bit while the note is playing. I think that might be due to the fact that I already have an 18V bass cranked to full. I still have to try it on my 9v bass, see how that handles it.
Ease of Use:
pretty easy!! 3 knobs, 2 jacks and 1 stomp button…
Support:
I just sent them off an email 5 mins ago so I cant say.
Overall:
I still have to try more distortion/fuzz pedals to know for sure.
Features like switchable Boost and Filter Mix mode allow for an unlimited supply of all-new auto-wah effects that drip with attitude. Increased frequency response and improved signal-to-noise ratio make the Q-Tron perfect for use with any instrument.

4 knobs and 2 switches to toggle to your heart’s content. For those of us with active electronics this is a must as the Qtron is very sensitive to our electronics.
Quality:
Well, it is somewhat rigid, however I would want to drop it either. It’s certainly not built like an MXR pedal which is what I would assign a 10.
Value:
I bought mine used for a fraction of the cost. It could/should be a bit cheaper…
Desirability:
Not the best filter on the market – but close. I like it and I don’t anticipate selling it and shelving it.
Sound:
Sounds Very Funky! However it took a while to find the “Right Sound” as this pedal is very sensitive. Patience will be rewarded. At the moment it is the only effect that I am using. Keep in mind that no two envelope filters are created alike. For instance, the sound I get out of the QTron is worlds away from what I get out of my Mutron III+, another excellent effect.
Ease of Use:
…Again, patience. You’re not going to take it out of the box, plug in, and sound immediately like Bootsy. Take your time.
Support:
Nope. Not yet at least.

A truly timeless piece, it can be found in the racks of such luminaries as Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour as well as rising stars like Chris Traynor of Helmet. Comes packaged in sealed wooden boxes branded in Russian.

Feature:
I think it should have come with a adapter hole, but mabye they didnt put it in because it is battery friendly. The input and output hold dont hold the cables very well but its easy to fix. Other than that its perfect.
Quality:
Its made all out of metal, so its held up for alot of my gigs (although i dont recommend it for gigs, SEE in features.)
Value:
This is probably the best deal you could ever get. i mean 60 bucks for a legendary pedal? Cant beat that.
Desirability:
ehh. Its not like attractive but it does look cool.
Sound:
The sound..Its OKAY, not the best. It sounds alot better with a Boss overdrive, so if your planning to get this make sure you have a overdrive or some kind of heavy distortion, just to bring out the muff tone more. The sustain is not the best, i would definetly recommend a Big Muff USA edition if you want more sustain, but if you want fuzz go with this.
Ease of Use:
Oh yeah, its like the most user friendly pedal, its got 3 knobs but its just Volume, Sustain, and Tone.
Support:
Well, to say ive never had to call the company for a complait or anything!
Overall:
Awesome Awesome AWESOME pedal. The reason i didnt give it a 10 is because of some of the features.
This is a lush chorus Reissue of the affordable analog chorus pedal popularized by Kurt Cobain. Depth and Rate controls create the finest analog chorus sounds, from clear, rich and dimensional to warm pulsating warbles.

It does suck that you gota buy a ac adapter btu they battery works just fine also. It doesnt have many feature like all those knowbs like other pedals but to tell you the truth it doesnt need them!
Quality:
This thing is defintly built to last the cover of it is metal and it feels very sturdy so it will be good when we go on the road.
Value:
THIS WAS WORTH THE 80 BUCKS!
Desirability:
I love this pedal it has a unique look
Sound:
I love the sound this pedal makes it gives me a warm feeling i cant say enough i just love it. It really does help when i play NIRVANA song which i play alot but i cant say enough about this pedal its great!
Support:
i havent delt with EH but they do give you a 1 year warrenty.
Overall:
I dont think i will replace this if mine breaks or gets stolen i will replae it with another EH

I use 4 matched for my stereo amp. The amazing thing is that I thought I had them “broke in”. The sound was really good, Then they “broke in” again. Now they produce the best sound I’ve ever had. The Svet’s were good, and I keep them as spares, but these are better. Give em’ a try, but let them have a generous break in period. A matched quad is less than 50 bucks.

Divine reverb for mere mortals Down from the heavens comes the Holy Grail, a compact digital reverb guitar pedal. Priced so low thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s reverb tank any longer. The Holy Grail will make you a believer with its emulation of classic Spring reverb so faithful that even Dick Dale couldn’t tell the difference.

Feature:
The only thing it needed is a decay knob. Otherwise I like the simple controls. It was mighty white of them to include an A/C adapter as well. Boss makes you spend $20.
Quality:
Mostly a metal chassis so that’s good. A bit on the thin side, but I don’t plan to stomp it into the floor.
Value:
The pedal was inexpensive, especially with my store discount.
Desirability:
It’s just reverb. Kinda like air, it’s not a big deal unless you aren’t getting any. Probably the most important of the subtle effects, though.
Sound:
On a clean channel this reverb pedal sounds great. And with analog circuitry the breakup is nice and smooth. The problem that at high gain, the pedal induces a bit of hiss into your signal and is very washy, even at the lowest knob settings. This pedal would have been perfect if it had a decay parameter that you could turn down. I don’t like the banging sound it makes after silencing chords at high gain.
Ease of Use:
It doesn’t get easier than a three way selector for the type of reverb you want, and a wet/dry knob.
Support:
No need.
Overall:
I bought this to use with an Orange Tiny Terror which doesn’t have reverb. I don’t plan on needing another reverb pedal for any of my other amps.
The new EL84EH faithfully recreates the classic Mullard design. Tri-lam plate material and selected screen wire increase thermal dissipation. The EL84EH is a remarkable reproduction of a vintage tube that is capable of maintaining its sweet and musical tone under any voltage conditions.

Electro-Harmonix put 2 of their classic transistor ’69 plug-in Muff Fuzz effects together in 1 box — which means double the trouble! Using just 1 gives you a hint of milky distortion, or cascading the 2nd lets you turn your milk into cream. Advance orders point to the Double Muff being one of their greatest sellers.

Feature: good sound. Two knobs, one switch. Simple and classy.
Quality:
Solid, sturdy, made in USA
Value:
Cheap pedal, great sound
Sound:
Great fuzz box. I was shooting for something like the Jesus and Mary Chain “Psychocandy” sound without spending $$$ on a Shin-Ei…and this pedal gives you the kind of fuzz with high-register sparkle that lets you pick out single notes while a chord is buzzing away. Nice.
Ease of Use:
It’s pretty hard *not* to get a good sound from this box. It’s also easy to get into squealing feedback, but if it didn’t go completely over the top, it just wouldn’t be an Electro-Harmonix pedal…
Is this a radical “over the top” EH unit that allows users to invent new modulation combinations? Or is it an EH Hoax
