Well, it’s been a helluva ride delving into the big bag of tricks that the folks at Ninevolt Pedals gave us, and today we bring you the last one in their complete series of effects pedals: the excellently-named Skateboarding Bear Metal Distortion. This is a BIG pedal, with tons of volume, attitude and range all in one, plus a drawing of a bear on a skateboard, and who doesn’t love that? A high-gain adventure awaits us all,...

The hits just keep on coming from our friends across the sea at Ninevolt Pedals, and we’ve got another simple yet bold piece of gear for you from them today. The Surfing Bear Overdrive is loosely based on a classic green overdrive that may contain the numbers “808” in it, but with a bit more range and a couple differences. Let’s just see what this bright blue beast has in store for us… The Volume, Tone...

*SURPRISE SATURDAY REVIEW* We sure have had a fun time reviewing and demoing the lineup of pedals from our friends across the sea in Japan, Ninevolt Pedals, and today we’re going to take a look at another one of their classic effects. Now, if the name Fishing Is As Fun As Fuzz doesn’t make you smile a little bit, maybe you should rethink your life and how you can be happier. Inspired (apparently) by the completion of the...

Continuing our look at the killer and super-affordable lineup of pedals from our friends at Ninevolt Pedals today, we’ve got a tasty little delay pedal for you all to take a look at. The Relaxing Walrus is a simple, down-to-earth delay pedal, but don’t think for a second that means it doesn’t have a ton of tone on tap. Once again emblazoned with artwork by the fantastic Jonas Claesson, this little blue beauty...

Another compressor pedal review is upon us, and if you haven’t grown to love them yet, we’re gonna try again and again until you do. Today’s “invisible” pedal comes to us from Japan, via a small company called Ninevolt Pedals, whose gear we’ve reviewed before (and will again). The 1927 Home Run King Compressor seeks to achieve the same tones as high-end studio compressors, all wrapped up in a nice,...

We’re taking next week off to get settled into our new office space, so we have a rare Saturday review for you to tide you over for a bit. Today’s featured pedal comes to us from Ninevolt Pedals, a company from Japan who we are featuring throughout the next few months, and will be reviewing their entire lineup of pedals. This little black beauty is the I Was A Wolf In The Forest Distortion, and while the pedal is great in...

With unique graphics and a lineup of effects that are sure to have something for every guitar player’s needs, these guys are putting out some affordable and great-sounding pedals. We’re going to start things off with a favorite effect of ours, and one of the nicest...

The Animals Pedal lineup (aka Ninevolt Pedals) has been one of our favorites for years – affordable, excellent quality and a wide range of effects. We love when they send us another new pedal to check out, and today’s gem is no different than usual. The Diamond Peak Hybrid Overdrive takes everything you know and love about high-output British amplifiers from the 60’s and 70’s and puts it into a box that will...

There have been a lot of Tone Bender-ish pedals coming through the shop as of late, and we couldn’t be happier about it. We’ve got another one for you today, this time coming from our friends at Animals Pedal. The Sunday Afternoon Is Infinity Bender, despite having a wildly long and potentially confusing moniker, is a fairly simple and straightforward fuzz. That said, there’s still plenty here to investigate. Another...

Animals Pedal, formerly Ninevolt Pedals, has been producing some really great gear over the last couple of years. Affordable, simple and with each one assigned a name wackier than the previous, these effects are made really well and sound just fantastic. Their latest offering is what we’re going to check out today – the Vintage Van Driving is Very Fun Overdrive (say that three times fast). This orange gem brings a vintage...

We’ve had a blast over the years reviewing effects pedals from Ninevolt Pedals/Animals Pedal, and today we’re venturing for the first time into acoustic territory from these guys. The Firewood Acoustic D.I. is an active D.I. that fits in both live stages and recording studios alike, using analog and discrete circuits and able to output to a mixer or an amplifier without missing delicate expressions. This simple pedal...

We have been fortunate enough over the last few years to have reviewed the entire lineup of effects from Ninevolt Pedals, and the crew behind those affordable and excellent-sounding pedals are back with another lineup and a different name. The Rust Rod Fuzz from Animals Pedal is the first of 5 pedals from this company that we will be reviewing and demoing, and this one started off the tour with a bang! Designed by Skreddy Pedals, this...

Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to play and enjoy some wonderful 3-knob delay pedals, such as the TC Prophet, the Cusack Music TME, the Deadbeat Sound Delay Lay Lay, the Guyatone MD2 and the Ninevolt Relaxing Walrus, just to name a few. Today’s pedal is a fine addition to this club, and we’re glad it made the long trek from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Slow Pick Analog Delay comes to us from XFX Boutique,...
