Every month, we’ll compile a few lists of gear that’s fresh out of the oven. Here’s one devoted to pedals.

Horizon Devices Apex Preamp

From Misha Mansoor comes this versatile preamp stompbox that’s able to transform your clean tone into a heavy, ‘djenty’ beast.

Fulltone Full-Drive 2 V2

Two channels—each with its own “Volume” and “Drive” knobs—new clipping modes, and a smaller enclosure make the Full-Drive 2 V2 a step up from its predecessors.

Suhr Shiba Drive Reloaded Mini

Besides the lack of a battery compartment and FX Link connector, the slimmer Shiba Drive Reloaded Mini packs all the dynamic, tube amp-like overdrive tones as its bigger brother.

Seafoam Trident Overdrive

Combine a three-band EQ and an overdrive pedal and you’ll get the Trident. There are three drive circuits, each pegged to a distinct frequency band, that you can manipulate and blend together.

Mistweaver Effects The Serpent

Modeled after the Green Russian Big Muff Pi, this stompbox from the new Asian boutique company offers fat, smooth fuzz tones with an improved bass response.

Way Huge Smalls Overrated Overdrive

Designed in collaboration with Joe Bonamassa, this slim new overdrive box is essentially a hot-rodded version of Way Huge’s Green Rhino Overdrive.

Vertex Effects Ultraphonix OD

Vertex contends its Ultraphonix OD is able to accurately emulate the tones of the fabled Dumble Overdrive Special amplifier.

Korora Audio Spira

This unique filter modulation stompbox is capable of producing far-out, experimental sounds, including the Shepard Tone.

Hungry Robot Pedals Moby Dick V2

Here’s a tape-emulating digital delay that lets you dial in ‘lo-fi’ grittiness and warped modulated decay.

Ortega Guitars QUANTUMloop

Tap out your beat pattern on the mahogany surface, sync it to one of the 16 pre-installed percussion sample groups, and loop an infinite number of overdubs with the QUANTUMloop.

TC Electronic Ditto Jam X2

This is a looper pedal with a difference: It can track tempo and automatically adjust loops—all in real time.

Fulltone Supa-Trem Jr

The upgrade of the Supa-Trem1 has three waveforms and a far wider range of speeds. Besides these, the tremolo pedal is identical to its predecessor, using the same JFET preamp and Opto-1 photocell.

Pigtronix Bob Weir’s Real Deal

Designed for the founding member of the Grateful Dead, this acoustic preamp promises a clear, feedback-free volume boost.
