The effects released into the wild from Hungry Robot Pedals have been experimental in nature, to say the least, to the delight of just about anyone who plays them. Delay, Fuzz, Modulation, Overdrive….they do it all. Today, we’re continuing to try and tame another one of their creations, the Wardenclyffe. A lofi ambient modulator, this particular version features a White Noise modification, which we’ll get to in a...

We here at Pedal of the Day have been fortunate to be able to review and demo many pedals from our friend Eric at Hungry Robot Pedals, which makes us even more excited about today’s featured effect. Having checked out the original Moby Dick Delay, we were excited to see what changes and improvements awaited us in V2 – well, let’s just say that our expectations were exceeded. Aside from the obvious smaller enclosure,...

Let’s face it: there are a LOT of Big Muff-types of fuzz pedals floating around today, along with the true originals, for a whole lotta muff (hehe). So, when we get a pedal in that bucks convention and tries to forage a musical path of its own, we get pretty damn excited. Today’s featured pedal, the [fz] Fuzz from Hungry Robot Pedals, does just that, utilizing a totally unique fuzz circuit that isn’t based on...

Eric Junge Maggie Valley, NC (via Cedar Falls, IA) Hungry Robot Pedals www.hungryrobotpedals.com How long have you been a musician? How did you get into it in the first place? I have been a musician since I was 14 years old. I started out on bass and slowly added instruments. I would still consider bass my main area of proficiency, but can play quite a few instruments fairly well. Who have been some of your major musical influences,...

The crew over at Hungry Robot Pedals has been known for creating new, unique and innovative effects since their inception in 2012, quickly garnering a reputation for the obscure and awesome. Today’s featured pedal might just be the most unique yet, and is one hell of a fun pedal to play around with. The Kármán Line is a delay and oscillation device that uses a modulating joystick with a heavily filtered delay line that...

In today’s crazy world of ambient pedal obsession, there are more and more incredible machines being produced, and today’s featured piece of gear is a unique and glorious ambient player’s delight. The Wash from Hungry Robot Pedals completes the arduous task of using both delay and reverb to create an organic, below-the-mix wash of sound, while only taking up a fraction of the pedalboard space usually required to...

The stompboxes being put out over at Hungry Robot Pedals have really been coming on strong as of late, and their Hungry Robot Dual Overdrive is not likely to leave my board anytime soon. As for today’s review, HRP’s first foray into the world of delay is a good one, a no frills, basic delay that echoes (no pun intended) the tape machines and analog delays of ages past. Although the Moby Dick emulates the sounds and tones...

The Blue Moon is actually just the left channel of the classic Hungry Robot Pedals’ Hungry Robot Overdrive, but this is a standalone effect, as opposed to the Hungry Robot, which combines the Blue Moon and the Lou Drive in one giant enclosure. Sporting only ONE control knob, this pedal is easy to coax great tones from, as well as using the 2 toggle switches to express the true overdriven nature this little blue box has to offer....

Right out of the gate, the Bumblebee from Hungry Robot Pedals had me intrigued. This pedal is being hyped as an EQ-Boost-Overdrive-Distortion-Fuzz, which seems like a pretty tall order to me. But with a few twists of the knobs, I could tell that this thing was a beast, and could deliver on all it promises, and perhaps a little bit more. A truly unique and dirty pedal, the Bumblebee can perform many functions, from a delicious clean...

The Hungry Robot Dual Overdrive by, well, Hungry Robot Pedals is sick. I’m a sucker for dual-whatever pedals in general, and this guy is no exception. One side is a nice, light overdrive, one side a bit heavier, and the two in combination are an overdriven dream. The Lou Drive starts us off on the left side, featuring Volume, Grit and Tone controls. Sporting a huge range and massive headroom, the Lou Drive can drive you amp as a...

I’ve always had a connection with music. From my dad’s outlaw country vinyl LPs to my mom’s affection for artists like Paul Simon and Billy Joel, music always spoke to me and I wanted to speak back. I had a couple of years of piano lessons...
