We’ve always loved a good flanger effect – some find it overbearing and useless, but what the hell do they know? Today’s pedal takes flanging to new and exploratory heights, adding in a ton of different modulated aspects and options. The SolidGoldFX Oblivion Quad Flange(r) will unlock mind-melting tones in an instant – an otherworldly, vast sonic sea awaits… The Oblivion brings the past, present and...

After the wild recent successes that were the NU-33 Vinyl Engine and Imperial Fuzz MKII, we couldn’t wait to check out some more pedals from our friends at SolidGoldFX. Today, we’re gonna gaze lovingly into the eyes of the EM-III Multi-Head Octave Echo, which are a bunch of words not commonly heard mashed together. This delay takes us on a crazy sonic adventure, with new and exciting twists and turns around every...

Certain pedals are created that can be difficult to categorize, and today’s pedal falls along those lines. The SolidGoldFX NU-33 Vinyl Engine is a chorus and vibrato machine, yes, but it’s also something else entirely. Incorporating elements of noise, static and ambient pops that come from playing worn-out copies of decades old vinyl records, the NU-33 features hisses, crackles, and all the vintage flair you can handle....

We love pretty much anything that has a retro or vintage vibe, look or feel around here, and today’s pedal checks off all of those boxes with ease. The SolidGoldFX Imperial MkII Fuzz looks like it was made in the 80’s, sounds right out of the 70’s and has a modern feel that makes it a perfect fuzz all-around. Inspired by the vintage JEN Jumbo Fuzz, the MkII has four simple sliders that control a wide range of tonal...

We are suckers for aesthetics here at Pedal of the Day, and today’s pedal just jumps right out at you (plus it look sweet in a group of pedal, too). A collaboration between the crews at SolidGoldFX and The Tone Mob, the Model 001 Fuzz Generator is an aluminum fuzz masterpiece, a pedal that is expressive both visually and sonically, and one that’s sure to make you take a step back in wonder the moment it’s engaged....

Today’s guest review comes to us from Coe S. – find him on Instagram (@coeschneider) and say Hi! From the get go I was interested in the small box, single knob lineup from SolidGoldFX. As much as I like to tweak sounds and create sonic havoc the appeal of a simple to use straight ahead sound tool is foundational and super important in my mind. I’ll admit, boost doesn’t usually get me excited, but this one caught my...

One of the favorite reverb pedals we’ve had the privilege of reviewing here at Pedal of the Day is the Surf Rider III from SolidGoldFX, so we were pretty stoked to try out one of their delays, the ElectroMan. Boasting some cool features and incredible sound, this delay will add new dimension to your guitar’s sound, and make you more inclined to push some sonic boundaries you never thought possible before. The control panel...

Reverb. Most people love it, though there are a few haters out there. I, personally, think it’s a fantastic effect, and love how it works in so many settings. Just a touch adds that little glimmer to your sound, barely noticeable to the common ear, while a full-on cranked spring reverb will elicit some wildly imaginative and out-of-this-world and crazy tones. The good reverb pedals can do both, as is the case here with the Surf...

Enrico Preuß KMA Audio Machines Berlin, Germany www.kma-machines.com How long have you been a musician? How did you get into it in the first place? Well, I started playing guitar with the age of 18. A friend from school was playing a red Squier Strat and a Peavey Valveking 100W 2×12 combo and he showed me some Green Day, Ulver and Anathema riffs…oh, and he was using a Marshall jackhammer pedal (the first pedal I ever heard...

Leon Wright Portland, OR Pelican NoiseWorks www.pelicannoiseworks.com How long have you been a musician? How did you get into it in the first place? Music has always been a part of my life. My dad played piano and guitar ever since I can remember. He passed away when I was 8. After that I inherited his guitar and set out to figure out how to play. Since then, it has been a constant thing in my life, not that I have ever actually...
