afterglow chorus
The Afterglow is a real
analog chorus that uses
bucket brigade chips. Rate,
depth, and mix controls
allow you to tailor your
preferred style of chorus, and
you can get everything from
subtle shimmer to doubling
to watery, vintage chorus.
Add it to distortion to get a
liquid solo tone, or use it on
jangly chords to do your best
Pretenders impression. All in
all, the Afterglow is a great
option if you’re looking for a
quality, no-frills chorus pedal.
blood moon phaser
This pedal is worth it
based on the name alone.
The Blood Moon can do
everything from slow, slight
phasing to over-the-top
crazy whooshing sounds. My
benchmark of excellence for
phasing is my Analogman-
modded vintage Electro-
Harmonix Small Stone, and
I’m pleased to report the
Blood Moon holds up nicely
when compared to that.
They’re not the same pedal,
but I wasn’t dissatisfied in
any way with the Blood
Moon’s capabilities.
cinders overdrive
If you’re into retro rock
‘n’ roll, Cinders is a
great overdrive option.
Straightforward volume,
tone, and drive controls allow
you to dial in the desired
amount of transparent
overdrive to your signal.
There’s a useful gain range,
and you can get everything
