There are some pedal companies whose work you can instantly tell is theirs with just a simple glance, and our friends at Dophix fall squarely into that category. The no-nonsense silver enclosures, simple graphics and generally scaled-down control sections not only make for an easily recognizable brand, but also some downright impressive effect pedal creations. Today, we’re looking at a pedal of theirs with a lot of options and a...

The effects pedals coming from Dophix have never been overly complicated, but always provide just the right amount of control over whatever device of theirs you’re currently using. Today’s pedal is no exception to that, trimming off all the fat to leave a real set-it-and-forget-it effect. Say hello to the Da Vinci-inspired Leonardo Compressor, a 2-knob gem that gets right down to business and brings your tone right to...

The Dophix effects pedal lineup has an extremely distinct and unique look – retro metal enclosure, minimal graphics, small black knobs. Though each one is slightly different, you can always pick a Dophix pedal out of just about any lineup. Today’s creation keeps with that aesthetic, and brings some wonderful modulation to the table. The Uomo Vitruviano Chorus-Phaser has just two knobs, but a TON of sonic properties to...

When you see a Dophix pedal, you know exactly what it is, and where it’s from. The subdued silver enclosure and minimal controls & graphics create fine works of art, much like the art or artists each pedal is based on. Today, we’ve got another one from their lineup, the Lussuria Overdrive, another one with just three control knobs, but loaded with killer tones and amp-driving gusto, all the way from Italy. The...

The Boost Pedal. It doesn’t make crazy sounds, or usually have more than one knob, or stand out in the “cool crowd” of the effects pedal world. However, it’s a necessity to your sound that you just might be skipping, and today’s pedal shows you why. The Dophix Perseo Boost has one knob, and it has one job as well. The Perseo Boost is simple but, like a blade strike, is extremely sharp and cared for in...

The first couple of pedals we checked out from Dophix, the Michelangelo and the David, were absolute works of sonic art. Their latest offering, the Nettuno Fuzz, follows those two gems, taking it up a notch or two. The Nettuno is a fairly simple, three-knob fuzz pedal, but you’ll find immense sonic treasures lurking just beneath the surface… Nettuno is Italian, and translates to Neptune in English, who was the Roman...

Unity throughout an effects pedal brand is a key component to its success. Today’s pedal is the second one we’ve encountered from our Italian friends at Dophix, and the theme between them is a resounding MICHELANGELO. The first, the Michelangelo Overdrive Plus, boasted the famous artists’ namesake, and today’s pedal bears a sliver of a piece of his actual artwork. The Dophix David Over Distortion is (you...

Michelangelo. Obviously, he was a fairly famous artist in the 1500s, and was also arguably the coolest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the 1980’s and 90’s. Today, however, his name adorns an effects pedal, one coming straight from his home country of Italy, and one that sculpts your tone and paints vivid images of sonic waterfalls in your mind. The Michelangelo Overdrive Plus from Dophix is an overdrive and boost...

Much like the Boost pedals we were talking about in the other day’s review, there are certain pedals that you sometimes don’t even know you need. Today’s pedal is one of those, hands down, and it’s hard to even describe why. When a piece of gear works, sometimes it just works, without explanation. However, we’ll try our best to tell you about the 29 Pedals EUNA Elite UNity Amplifier…just be patient,...
