PREAMP- DOMINION ELECTRIC Filmotone___NEW ___from defunct movie film camera

Dominion Electric EFFECTS COMPANY     
$250.00 USD
 Filmotone  CINE-PREAMP
A Canadian company with always a twist in the pedals 
they release has taken the recent trend towards looking 
for new sounds by converting now defunct analog tech 
used for film or broadcast.
The layout is simple Boost and Gain. An internal switch tightens the sound.
            CONCLUSION___ 
Oddly enough it has a very cranked Fender 
Twin with the bright switch on vibe. It could 
be magic on a dark amp. It may even be  
deadly as an always on pedal. Impressive, 
very impressive. 
 

OVERDRIVE- MORELAND MAGNETICS 202a Percolator ...not enough perks? 😇

 Moreland  
202A PERCOLATOR   
$200.00 USD
As the builder put it there are dozens of clones and all took a 
different take on the Interfax Harmonic Percolator. Basically 
the original was a guy that loved both Germanium and silicon 
sounds so he made a pedal that had both blended into one 
sound. You get the rich gtiy of the germanium but the cut & 
definition of the silicon. The layout is simple just Volume 
and Gain 
         CONCLUSION __ 
Others add features that move it into being a
different
 
sound. This sticks close to the original 
one trick pony but an impressive one, 😇.

Yes ......the electro harmonix  
EHX Percolator can dial in the originals 
tone and it is just $100.00 USD

SNEAK PEAK ___ FLEOR FX ___ KOREAN SPEC made in China

FLEOR FX 

$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%.

___ HIGH END OVERDRIVE $HOOTOUT ___ A 100% MUST WATCH IF BROKE!!!

 $HOOTOUT · 

        ....are we all buying with our eyes ???

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!!! 😯
