New Pedal Releases

At $279... just think of the savings...

... why, if they added a graphic, that would legitultimutually increase the cost by ... like ... double or treble the amount!


All I know is that today, if you're profiling someone, you shouldn't, it's wrong; body-shaming via displaying unrealistc skinny anorexic modellers is also emphatically politically incorrect.




I gotta say, I do love Orange knobs on a Silver enclosure — but that bypass indicator should be an Orange (or at least Amber) Amp-Jewel, 'ight?

That was the part that confused me. Are these digital pedals? Or did they use digital models as the basis to design their analog pedals? Like am I playing through a NAM of a Klon, or am I playing through a Klon that was voiced to match a NAM of a Klon?

Perhaps they should have, um, compromised?

No no no, this is much more advanced than the digital models - there's a high and low pass in each pedal! I'm sure those fancy digital profilers can not pull off such technological feats.

They used a digital profiler and/or modeler as a workbench amp to design it, is what I guess it means. Why does that matter you ask? Who the fuck knows, I answer.

I think it’s just poorly worded ad copy trying to say that when they were developing these pedals, they tested them with both real tube amps and digital models to make sure they sound good into either an analog or digital front end.

This is how I interpreted it too, if you look at the descriptions of the individual pedals they are clearly analogue.

I like how they went out of their way to powder coat the enclosures but chose the one color that makes them look unfinished.

Above all I'm most offended by whoever prepared the pedals for the product photos... every picture has something like a hair on the pilot light or some crap caked into the labels.

With digital photography you can retouch that stuff easily. I used to retouch the wine bottles I shot because no matter how vigilant you were in cleaning them there was always a lot to retouch! These days I'm sure there an AI tool to let you retouch in seconds. And it will probably add stuff that wasn't there originally.

There are ways to light things like these pedals so that the etched graphics show more clearly, but really what's the point in graphics that you can't see? At least @MichaelW and I make a point of ensuring our graphics are invisible so no amount of clever lighting will reveal them.

Oh absolutely. Several of the bigger builders are using 3D renders instead of actual product photography anyway.

I didn't come to bash Pettyjohn, but please tell me this isn't going to be the new normal....
