Dreadbox Psyclop Signal Multi Tool

Usually, the pedals we review and demo here make some kind of NOISE, whether it’s delayed notes, powerful distortion, psychedelic phasing or any number of other effect genres. Today, however, the pedal we’re looking at simply helps to determine where your multiple audio signals will actually GO, making it a key piece of gear you may not have known you needed. Come along as we explore the signal-changing, super-routing Dreadbox Psyclop Signal Multi Tool, won’t you?

Psyclop is not an actual effect pedal, but a multi tool for other effects. It helps you manipulate a chain, or even a single effect pedal. Dreadbox has expanded the simple “effects loop” concept into something that every pedal board can benefit from. It’s a true Swiss Army Knife for ALL of your audio needs – it can be used as a boost, an attenuator, expression and control voltage stuff, a mixer, an FX loop and more.

We’re always excited to have gear from Dreadbox in the shop, and when this one showed up, I wasn’t exactly sure how I was gonna demo it. Well, after some fun experimenting, choosing a couple of incredible pedals (Chase Bliss MOOD, Meris Polymoon) and getting a Korg SQ-1 Step Sequencer on board for CV duties, I knew this was a winner. Head to our YouTube channel below for the Full Demo, where we run through all the Psyclop can do, and create some amazing sounds. Be sure to visit the Dreadbox website for more info, and grab this and all your favorite Dreadbox gear at Sweetwater – cheers!!
