MULTI-FX- BLACKSTAR ID:X Multi-FX Pedal ___NEW___ now with NAM

Blackstar ID:X Floor
Multi-FX Pedal
The Modeler that does not feel or respond like one. 
Yes it indeed now has NAM. Not a unit to ignore if you 
are on a budget.  
 
$400.00 USD

OVERDRIVE SHOOT OUT ___Jared James Nichols

                    ANOTHER WTF!!! WINNER    
 
   
     If you can afford it but the winner 😇.

FUZZ- RAINGER FX Microphonic Fuzz ___NEW ___ a Fuzz with a mic in it ???

$285.00 USD
Rainger FX  
MICROPHONIC FUZZ
It has a massive sound and you get choices of voices and a filter that can modulate etc. It takes a visual video to make sense of. How much real or random control of the mic picking up sounds 
in the room etc. is all controllable.
       CONCLUSION ___ 
It is shoegaze for the masses to be sure. 
It is however not just a noise machine 
that the novelty wears off 
in a short time.

FUZZ/BOOST- KASLEDAR FX Columbian Dream__NEW__Rangemaster/FuzzFace clone

kasleder  FX
C O L U M B I A    D R E A M 
$300.00 USD
A Dallas Rangemaster Treble booster and a Fuzz Face but
 
uses the silicon transistor versions & pairs them in a pedal.
The layout is on the left the Boost, Range which sets the
area boosted in the upper mids and high end. The Fuzz 
on the right has Volume and Gain.
CONCLUSION __ 
It seems if set to the right settings one can get the SRV 
bright biting clean sound. That I find very interesting as 
I like others have tried many things that failed to work. 
___The best I've have heard so far is the $200.00 USD 
King Tone Soloist. It sounds like a Tube Screamer, a treble boost and a black faced Fender Super Reverb all squeezed into a mini pedal,😇.
...check out my Post on Oct 29/2026.

  


FUZZ- TONE CITY London Bender ___NEW ___ Colorsound Tone Bender clone

$60.00 USD
 TONE CITY 
 London Bender 
A take on a Tone Bender. My best guess it is a Colorsound
silicon Tone Bender clone. The Colorsound is orange & silver 
& has the words Colorsound London England printed on 
the casing. Hence an adoption of its London Bender tag.
The layout is the one expected, & is Volume, Tone & Gain.  
                 CONCLUSION __ 
It is quite a good Fuzz. Unfortunately like the 
original it is not idiot proof. You can push every 
knob to past its 'Best Before'. In other words 
the guy in the demo needs to be spanked,😇.

TONE CITY ___NEW PEDALS

 TONE CITY 
          

OVERDRIVE- LPD PEDALS Sixty8 Deluxe X ___NEW ___ the MIAB King does it again!

$290.00 USD
LPD PEDALS SIXTY 8   
DELUXE  X
I got the original 68 in 2016 back when it was more 
or less the only MIAB that Lawrence Petross made.  
(I did however get the rare Mini pedal check out the pic below)
I bought every MIAB that he came out with.  
They are all a permanent fixture on my board.
       CONCLUSION __
As I always say. If you want this new one 
you must act fast as they always sell out. 
Often in just hours.  
 

  

OVERDRIVE- MUSONTEK Dream Castle Overdrive ... Tone City-ish

$65.00 USD

Musontek
 Dream Castle 
Not a lot of info. A Chinese company that retails online from the Czech Republic with 10 assorted pedals, 😇.
it is a high gain OpAmp Overdrive with a low gain to American Metal 
vibe for the voicing. The layout is Volume, Gain and Tone. One toggle 
gives you a classic or modern voicing and another levels of gain. 
    CONCLUSION __ 
The quality and price is in the Tone City pedals league. 
So in general this and I expect their other pedals are 
worth a look. The video will have to suffice as others 
go from poor to farcical,😒.

FUZZY DRIVE- BENSON AMPS Jeez Fuzz ___NEW ___heated up ???

Benson
$280.00 USD
 JEEZ  Fuzzy/Drive
The company invented the idea of heating up germanium transistors inside the pedal to keep a stable warmth so their temperature does not drift and make the sound unstable. This pedal is half Fuzz & half OD. The blend can give the strengths of both. The layout is Volume, Tone & Gain. 
             CONCLUSION ___
The grit & breadth of germanium the 
germanium transistors adds serious 
fatness and the OD/Boost gives it 
great tightness and sustain.
A winner!!! 
 
 
   

REVERB- MARLA AMPLIFICATION Howling Hound Spring Reverb & Tremolo ___NEW ___

$340.00 USD
Marla Amplification
Howling Hound
Spring Reverb & Tremolo
The real deal!!! The layout is ...Reverb has dwell 
and Mix and the Tremolo has Rate and Depth. 
   CONCLUSION __ 
This is a no compromise unit.  Yes there 
are quite passable digital pedals. BUT? 
But if you go all the way you can not go 
totally small & get this good.
