$45.00 USD
AliExpress w/free shipping

The company has specialized in making budget quality guitar parts, and especially handwound PU's that are

OEM spec for Chinese manufacturers who have for 

years had to buy Korean. 

NOTE: When you buy an Asian made guitar that 

features Duncan PU's those PU's are made in Korea 

unless they say right in the promotion they are made 

in the U.S. 

They make the parts used in the many new companies making guitars under $500 but spec and play like guitars that only 5 years ago would be $1200. They have now 

turned to making pedals. 

    CONCLUSION ___  

Yes it is a bit of wait and see but the first pedal the FLEOR FAP-FZ Boost Fuzz is a '69 Silicon spec with an added Boost is a welcome addition to the 'new affordables' 

in a time when overnight  all music gear has on average 

increase as much as 30%.

CHORUS/VIBRATO- ELECTRO HARMONIX Eddy... a BOSS with the wobbles

 electro-harmonix 

EDDY    

$90.00 USD

  Analog Vibrato & Chorus 

This is a stab into the BOSS Chorus territory. If you wanted 

EH they have several classics still available. in short they 

know a nice share of the market comes from cloning anything 

the competition does and if they sell it cheaper then we all come running, lol.

E-H do not make pedals in the U.S. they assemble them. They 

come in a simple kit form from China to NYC. Then the finished 

board is popped in, a few nuts and screws fasten it together, 

then tested and boxed. The real secret is in plain site. They have 

very creative designers that are allowed to not have to dumb 

down the design to meet a price point.

      CONCLUSION __

It does a lot but Chorus and Vibrato work off

modulating in and out of pitch and some videos 

I heard were unlistenable from this unit with 

their sea-sick tones. That said the pedal has 

been dropped in price so it a lot for a little.

FUZZ- BUZZING BUGS AUDIO DEVICES Bolster___NEW___ Doomed Muff 😳...

BUZZING BUGS     AUDIO DEVICES

 BOLSTER 

$240.00 USD

A pedal aimed straight between the eyes of the Doom 

crowd,😇. The basis of the pedal is our old friend the 

Big Muff. You get that on the tight side of the pedal with Gain,Tone and level. Volts let you starve the input for 

a bit of velcro rip and tear. Shift is a second tone control

on the clean input. On your left you get More to crank 

on a ...2nd Fuzz. 

CONCLUSION __ 

The pedal has been tuned on every function to be usable 

even if dimed. Nothing is out of control. In short no Star 

Wars sound effects or Shoe Gaze in this pedal. Someone 

that hates Doom could use this pedal for a wall of sound 

even in a ballad. Impressive.

OVERDRIVE- SOULDiM Crazy Tone Distortion... RAT ??? Black Rat

$21.00 USD
AliExpress

SOULDiM 

  CRAZY TONE   

Distortion 

This is a re-branded Mosky Black Rat. Neither are 

a true Rat. Souldim are more honest. They just sell

it as a high gain Overdrive. The layout is simply 

Volume, Tone and Gain with a toggle labeled 

Voice which is a mids boost. 

   CONCLUSION __ 

It is is a very good sounding 

grungy high gain overdrive. 

Dead cheap!!! 

OVERDRIVE- SHAEVLE Blue Tuber___NEW___ did it missed the target???

$25.00 USD
Amazon

 SHEVELE

BLUE TUBER    LSS-02

WTF... some say it is a Tube Screamer, others a Bluesbreaker still 

others a Blues Driver. If you had all 4 pedals in a row all 4 would 

sound totally different. The closest is the Boss Blues Driver as it 

like this pedal has a bit of a harsh biting edge. 

 

   CONCLUSION __ 

What it is ...is an OpAmp hardclipper that can 

be cut back to lighter gain but is primarily a 

medium gain OD. As simply its own thing it 

is a well made and good sounding pedal.  

    ...and double dirt cheap!!! 😯

FLANGER/DOUBLER- MXR Flanger/Doubler ___NEW___clone of their own 70's rack...

 MXR 

flanger/doubler · 

$335.00 USD

Yes a sort of reissue. I won't do the layout or I would 

be re-writing the manual. Basically a Flanger delats 

the clean signal then modulates between the clean to 

the delay and back, The delay is tiny so the signal can 

be looped back in so you are flanging the already 

flanged signal, Doubling is simply a variation 

of a slap back delay.  

    CONCLUSION ___ 

The feature are in many ways no big deal in this 

digital era. The whole big deal is its warm analog 

sound. It simply sounds damn impressive.

PREAMP- CATALINBREAD Crooner ___NEW___ clone of RCA BA-31 broadcaster

catalinbread

   CROONER   

$260.00 USD

The RCA BA-31 was one of a very few preamps designed for 

broadcasts in the early 60's. It was meant to make even the 

human voice coming out of a cheap radio sound good. It had 

EQ, campanding etc ,etc as a fixed voice with a minimum 

amount of tweaks and for the most part was an always on 

piece of kit. Wampler put a UEI OpAmp in it to add more 

muscle as it was never made originally for a an electric  

guitar new kind of dirt pedal. 

            C ONCLUSION __

It is what it is. There are a few old school preamps 

never meant as a guitar pedal out there . They are 

all a 'thing'. In short they add sugar or spice. You 

like a flavor or you don't. 

I have the JV Effects Transmission but its spice is 

putting cutting bite on the voice for very low budget 

small time/local radio broadcasters. Unlike the Crooner 

it is not a sweetener but more of a hot taco sauce.
