behringer

Flange

This is the 3rd Lovepedal reproduction in just weeks.

This time we get the Flanger that is a Shoegazers 

delight. Waiting on a price???

CONCLUSION __

This company is now more than your grandads 

plastic Boss pedal clones.

OVERDRIVE- SUBDECAY Liquid Sunshine MKIII ...a sleeper

 SUBDECAY 

$160.00 USD

Liquid Sunshine

This pedal has been around since 2006. It is used more as a 

boost. That said it uses FETS so it is very tube amp sounding. 

It is old school when builders were not trying to clone other 

pedals or even make an Amp-in-a-Box. However it does 

indeed have an Amp-in-a-Box vibe, but not any specific amp. 

The layout is Volume, Gain and Emphasis a mid boost that 

gives a lot of breadth to the sound.

            CONCLUSION __

I am struck by its tasteful and unpretentious

graphics.  It looks understate and very classy.  

It sounds like an old 50's Class A Tube amp.

Impressive.

FUZZ- RhPf ELECTRONICS Mosrawr ___NEW ___is different, enough?

RhPf Electronics

$180.00 USD

MOSRAWR ··  

According to this and that ...this is a Velcro Fuzz. Velcro is a sound many Fuzz pedals have. It is basically done by staving the transistors of power. The company is Swiss and their site is in Basil Switzerland and its site is 

in German. I can guess by the name they are using MOSFETS and overloading the crap out of them, lol. It is a Fuzzy-drive with extras. 

The layout appears to be Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids and Bite which 

is usually an upper mids with some highs overly pushed.

                 CONCLUSION ___ 

The RhPf Mosferatwo Overdrive won my Best of the Year. 

It is a bullet proof buy. This however in spite of a creative approach does not move me. The other great choices are endless.

FOR TOTAL NERDS ONLY ___Thinking of a pricey gear purchase ???

 STATE OF THE U.S. ECONOMY  

FEB. 2026 

This will not be a monthly thing unless you want it. 

It gives you a big picture of 2025 to use as a starting 

point for 2026. In my case it is a 'Need to Know' to 

budget my very small pension, lol.

I already have my eye on things that I would need

$2500.00 USD to buy. Or ??? 

Do I need gear or a parachute ???

             ...go to 8:57 on the video for the report.

  

FUZZ/RING MOD- BEHRINGER Ring Stinger ___NEW ___Lovepedal Ringstinger clone

behringer

Ring Stinger   

It is so new the paints wet. I do not have a release 

date, a price or a picture to give you. It looks like 

the original.

It too is called the Lovepedal. I posted a pic of it 

beside the video. 

    CONCLUSION ___

So All we know is it is an octave Fuzz with 

a Ringmodulator added. Any more will be 

here ASAP.  

 

       

OVERDRIVE- ROMA DEVICES Conviction Overdrive ___NEW ___old school hardclipper

 ROMA   

$250.00 USD

Devices

CONVICTION  Overdrive

A handmade old style hardclipper OpAmp pedal like the 

RAT or the Boss DS-1. In short it has a raspy high gain 

sound that if really pushed borders on Fuzz. 

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain.

      CONCLUSION ___

It well made with hole through tech and good

parts. It has nice raspy mid pushed sound. It 

could pass for a Fuzz if and when needed.

It ain't cheap and it takes a lot of real 

estate on your board. 

 

OVERDRIVE- HAGERMAN Gamma Radiation ___NEW ___ Hagerman-in-a-Box ;-)

 HAGERMAN 

$130.00 USD

GAMMA RADIATION

This is NOT a clone of anything. What else uses 7 silicon transistors for a hand made overdrive with a 5 year warranty?

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. The magic is in the Energy knob. It acts somewhat like the old Rangemaster giving you a lot of poke in upper mids and highs.  

 CONCLUSION ___

It sounds like a tube amp that makes a great crunch or when pushed more you get an irresistible growl or go on further & 

it heads into Metal-ville. It has loads of character & personality enough to be its own thing. At the price you can afford to be wrong, 😇.   

It is on my list for Pedal of the Year.

____ ____ ____ THE CARL PERKINS STORY____

    CARL PERKINS    

FUZZ- MLC (Mark L. Custom Guitar Electronics) Elevation Fuzz ___Fuzz Face clone

  MLC  

MARK L CUSTOM GUITAR ELECTRONICS

ELEVATION

$300.00 USD

It is a basic Silicon Fuzz Face. It has been produced for 6 years. 

Based in Poland this company is better known for their $5000

high gain tube amps. In short they make some serious sh@t.

The layout is Volume, Gain and Tone. A rotary switch gives you 

4 voices to choose from. 

CONCLUSION ___  

There is no denying the build and components are serious poop. 

It is a very modern take with a bit of Overdrive vibe on some 

settings but you can get the real deal old school Fuzz Face. 

Both are good. 

I use both but I am very much a Germanium Tone Bender guy. 

That said I do have a similar type of FF. I have the SolidGoldFX  

If 6 Was 9. At $290.00 USD the price is really not better. But,

with 5 knobs & a toggle it is a tweakers delight. 

The bottom line for the MLC ??? ...it is a damn good pedal!!!

  thefineprint

    The last Tone Bender Gary Hurst designed was the V.4. It was a silicon Fuzz

and he was indeed influenced by the new kid that came out. The Big Muff. 

His is was NOT a clone. It has a very non-Muff fat mid range. Oddly it sounds

scary close to the new Joyo Tiny Huge Fuzz. This is a serious balzy ripping

Pro Fuzz. Not some compromised budget sounding effert. At $40.00 USD

it says buy me. I have one and just plain love it.

OVERDRIVE- GIZA DVA ___NEW___ Maytamp Pre, DOD 250 & BOSS DS-1-in-a-Box

$290.00 USD

 GIZA ·  

DVA  

 

It is basically the JFET Pre from a Green Matamp 

120 amp on one channel. The other has both a 

DOD 250 and a BOSS DS-1 running in parallel. 

   CONCLUSION ___

Just getting all that to even work in one 

box is impressive. At the price it is a lot 

of commitment even if it works great but 

is simply too crazy. Love it!!!
