Review Title: Solid Lil' Light Dirt Boost

Review Add on: 22/04/2025
Average Rating: (5)

High praise for the Caline G013 Killer Shark Boost! I wasn't sure what to expect, but on my never-ending quest for the perfect combo of light to medium dirt pedals to stack, I'll rolled the dice & was pleasantly surprised. I think I read somewhere that this is based on the DOD 250 circuit. Regardless, it can function as a clean-ish boost, but the gain is nice & it can function as an overdrive. It's ruggedly built &, while smaller than a standard-sized pedal, bigger than a mini which I like. Plus the graphics on it are pretty cool! I ended up finding it on sale, but even at retail, it's a good deal.

Lunastone Smooth Drive 1

Verified

Author: Robert Tring -

Review Title: Loved it

Review Add on: 21/04/2025
Average Rating: (5)

This pedals is amazing. Transparent yet with great presence and body. This saturation and overdrive of the signal is different to anything I have owned. I think it is related to the differente approach Lunastone uses to saurate the signal via cascading circuit signal. Not cheap but worth every penny for a pedal made in Denmark by the previous designer of TC Electronic (when it was Danish and not a part of the Behringer group)
Highly recommended.!

Review Title: What a surprise!

Review Add on: 07/04/2025
Average Rating: (4)

This pedal is built like a rock, Solid and manly looking. Honestly basd on price I wasn't expecting much but wow! it blew me out of the water! The range is great from a little tube like overdrive to full blown fuzz and everything in between. Lots of sustain as well! Highly recommended specailly for the price. The only thing is that it is a bit on the larger side but I live it. I only have 4 pedals on my board so pedal board real estate is not an issue for me.

Valeton GP-100 Multi Effect, Looper and Interface

Author: Phil Reaney

Review Add on: 01/09/2023
Average Rating: (5)

This a super unit, so many great sounds for guitar and about 25 for bass guitar. It's easy to use but don't let the small size fool you this unit is rock solid like a little tank. I like the user interface screen on my Mac so you can tailor the sounds to your liking without having to use the stomp buttons all the time.But fits on a puter desk top great.Exceptional value for money!

Artec Vintage Flanger

This is an excellent analog flanger. I'm really happy with it. You have a lot of control over the tone produced by it. It is not noisy like some flangers. I prefer this to the TC Electronic Thunderstorm flanger I used to have.

Oops...my previous review should have been 5 stars. Hit 4 by Really enjoying this pedal. Great for punching through a dark amp or an overly bassy fuzz (which is most of them) or a heavy distortion.

BBE Sonic Stomp MS-92

Author: Peter Bjerkelund

Review Add on: 18/01/2023
Average Rating: (5)

The final polish on your sound and tone. I was very happy to hear what this little simple thing did! I saw that Ed Friedland used one, then found Steve Araujo at G&L doing a demo for bass (which is what I was after). Its a very subtle pedal but makes such a wonderful, rich difference. I would say that an apology for it would be: Your vision is pretty good as is, but you have mild prescription glasses to use for that tack sharp focus that brings everything comfortably into detail. That's what the Sonic Stomp does for your tone. Just add one, you will not regret it.

Great pedal for goosing a fuzz or drive or just cutting a bit of low end on humbuckers. Tone contol kets you dial out any unwanted crispiness. Low noise, small footprint. Bought a 2nd one as a gift.

BBE Sonic Stomp MS-92

Author: Mark Jenk

Review Add on: 26/05/2022
Average Rating: (5)

The BBE sonic stomp maximizer is an "animal" very much its own, but of an indisputable quality and usefulness, it offers magnificent results, basically it brings a touch of valve warmth to the cold digital effects. I would say have it on and active on my pedal board 90% of the time. , I love its sound and I always use it when recording and specially on live playing with my band. Best $120 I have spend on my pedal board.

Getting a good wireless system for a guitar at a decent price was almost impossible a few years ago but Cuvave has really upped the game with this. I barely notice any difference between using this and a regular cable

As a huge AC DC fan I had always wanted to have the freedom to walk around the stage while being unencumbered by a cable. It even provides the compressed tone of Angus Young. The range and battery life is good and its pretty easy to use.

Cuvave Tremolo

Average Rating: (5)

My first tryst with the tremolo effect was the songs from the late 80s and 90s. I had been making do with the inbuilt effect in my amp but it was time to get more serious. This pedal has a lot of flexibility and offers so many vibrational goodies in a small but sturdy package

Cuvave Overdrive TS

This pedal captures the magic of another very famous green overdrive pedal while adding a few tricks of its own. The fact that I was able to get quite close to a tube amp sound with a cheap amp speaks volumes about the capabilities of this pedal.

The market is saturated with overdrive pedals but none offer the sound fidelity this overdrive pedal can produce at this price range. It is built to last, it will spice up any pedalboard, and it simply sings with any guitar and amp combination.

Getting that Fender Bassbreaker sound can be a bit tricky with a pedal but this pedal gets you there. The harmonics and overtones I can get from this pedal without losing clarity helps me achieve a tone that is simply mesmerizing

Cuvave Overdrive Amp

A good overdrive pedal can make all the difference between a lackluster tone and one that is warm and just sounds good. The bluesy tones I can get out of this pedal with my strat is on par with any boutique pedal out there that would cost many times more.

Cuvave Noise Gate

Author: Mike Esco

Review Add on: 15/10/2020
Average Rating: (5)

Stayed off noise pedals for a long time as they generally tend to kill the definition of my tone. However, I relented after getting into some high gain stuff recently. This offering from Cuvave keeps the noise away without coloring the tone which is simply what a noise pedal should be all about.

I already own the basic version of this looper but I wanted a bit more flexibility without making things too complicated. This was perfect for that. The loop selection option makes it a very flexible option for layering sound and correcting mistakes. In love with this looper. Cuvave all the way!
