The Engine of Ruin is a
modern take on the classic
MXR Distortion+ unit with
a few tweaks. The Engine
of Ruin provides classic 741
op-amp distortion that is
complemented by a silicon
diode arrangement for
a crisper sound than the
vintage units. Each Engine
of Ruin is expertly voiced by
Tym Guitars based on his
preferred circuit values. The Slammi Plus takes the
groundbreaking polyphonic
shifting of the Slammi and
puts it in a more familiar
enclosure with a full-featured
interval selector on the side.
This selector gives 11 settings
including a detuner that gives
you thick, chorus-like tones. A
host of other deceptively simple
features make the Slammi Plus
a serious contender in the pitch
pedal arena.

BJFE’s circuit reign continues
with the Honey Bee, the
latest Bjorn Juhl design to
make it into the hands of
One Control. OC’s version
gives you a switch for
Vintage or Modern voicing,
which cuts a little extra treble
to make it more adaptable
to a wider range of guitars.
The Nature control governs a
mid-frequency shift that takes
your tone to greater heights.
