FUZZ- LATERAL PHONICS Knife OD & Fuzz ___NEW ___ Fuzzy Drive w/bad paint job :-)

$300.00 USD

LATERAL PHONICS

Knife OD & FUZZ
A proverbial gourmet cork sniffer brand of Fuzz. Of course 
it uses NOS Germanium transistors. Why would you ask,😇??? 
OK, OK so it uses one of them. Another is Silicon. 
Hence its Fuzzy Drive approach. 
 
__ CONCLUSION __
It sounds great. That said I would take my 
Movall Galactic Groove that is a Fuzzy Drive 
and stack it on one my MIAB pedals for as 
good or better sound.

$55.00 USD

OVERDRIVE- MOVALL MP-320 heavy Thunder ...Swedish Metal-in-a-mini-Box

m0vall
Heavy Thunder 
$25.00 USD
This company was started by a pedal designer with his wife 7 
years ago and decided to release his own brand. Like all 
independent builders had to depend on word of mouth. They 
made a quality pedal for a fair price. In these hard times they 
are selling dead cheap to survive. 
What we get in this little package is one size fits all Swedish 
Metal. Thank you Boss & Electro Harmonix OD. 
The layout is Level, mids and Gain. A toggle gives you 
more gain an even more,😕!
__CONCLUSION __ 
It does the job!!! I have a few similar 
heavy hitters myself but if I didn't 
...mine would be on order

GRAPHIC EQ- JOYO 6 Band Equalizer ...6 years as a best seller


$35.00 USD
  JOYO  
  6  BAND  EQUALIZER ||| 
Joyo were one of the first to literally clone pedals. Some were
good but not always impressive. Others like this are 6 years old 
& are still a bestseller. They have fans that have had them on their boards all six years. It is very accurate clone of the MXR Six Band EQ.
   __ CONCLUSION __
The Joyo was based off of V.1 of the MXR. Current 
MXR EQ's are V.2. Both MXR versions have a mild
distortion but the old ones had a sweeter tone.
In short the Joyo has that sweet tone. 
The price on AliExpress includes free shipping says "buy me, buy me"! 

OD- DAVID ROSS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Summer Heat Guitar Pedal __NEW__ WTF!!!

$200.00 USD
David Ross MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
SUMMER HEAT
I am glad young Dave put the words Guitar Pedal in the title 
of his little masterpiece. Now right away we we know he is 
a pretentious git or a ...😕.
The layout is Volume, Gain and instead of Treble and Bass 
we get 2 toggles with fixed EQ's. More pretense?  If you for 
example choose 1K for some poke and you want to lower 
a pot for a Tube Screamer boost. You can't.
   CONCLUSION __
My guess is it is a medium gain 
OpAmp OD with ohmage to a 
Tube Screamer. Yawn,😶.



___THE UPDATER___JULY 2026___NEW GEAR NEWS___UPDATED 24/7

THE UPDATER
July 2026
I separate those pedals that are a steal from those
that are stealing from you at any price

IF IT IS WORTH KNOWING IT IS HERE FIRST !!!


_________________________________________________________________________________________
MY MONTHLY RANT
WTF...the new modelers are cheaper than a than last years price for a tank of gas! But today once I fill the tank I can't even afford them!!!


TIME OUT
Last month was top heavy with multi-effect/ digital amp simulators which either Model, Capture or use NAM. The new NUX MG50 li uses all 3. The Livtra Music Velrix is $45. The NUX with it all is under $500 and the Adota AME 200 that is a full size full featured unit is only $130. They all share a common thing. After a simple  listen the very cheapest and the most pricy sounded the same. To hear a guy play the cheapest at a club or on a band recording you would not know if you were hearing a $200 dollar or 2 thousand dollar sound!!! 
I simply have to laugh when I think that a great player with a 70 guitar old tube amp and guitar can make most of us look like beginners, gets a better sound and their gear is worth 10 times what they paid for it. Next year their gear will be worth even more but todays gear will be worth only a smile. 
Benjamin Franklin who played the guitar said that people these days know the price of everything 
but the value of nothing.  
 
 LENARD Re-Inventiond  
      FUZZ 1     
To those who are following my launch of my own brand of pedals I have an update. As you know I have the 
prototype know for a month. It is an OpAmp Fuzz that I simply named FUZZ 1.   
The enclosure, the circuit board and other parts come like 99% of most pedals from China. At this point 
assembly is likely to be done in Canada. It will be by one of 3 brands, two of which most of you will recognize. 
When one is finished it will go to Karl Erikson in Sweden who designs pedals for Shenzhen Grand Technology 
for approval. They must have his spec especially for one of 2 high-end OpAmps. They are handmade so they 
will be in batches of 10.  I  will get them next to test and label before shipping. 
Small beginnings, lol. To day 12 Industrial vinyl labels were shipped. If OK I can apply one to the prototype 
and take a picture so you can have a look. 
The costs are tight. BIG BUT! I am under my budget by a total of $2, LOL.   
So the selling price of $100.00 USD is still on target. 
 

TOYS FOR THE OLDER BOYS
Some old, some new, all cool !!!


MOVALL MP-319 DYNOSTAUR
A take on the infamous Bjorn Juhl's BJF Dyno Red Distortion, MIAB pedal. Better known if made by Mad Professor as they licenced half their pedals from Juhl.
..at $25.00 USD a pop, why not!!!
