Taking models of all different kinds and building effects pedals out of them are the bread and butter for our friends at VVco Pedals – from the Batmobile to a certain time-traveling DeLorean to Hello Kitty, Darth Vader and many, many more. Today, we’re going to take a look at one of their newer circuits, housed in a model enclosure from the popular animated series Bob’s Burgers. The “I Can’t Believe...

We love the way the folks at VVco Pedals incorporate great effects with nostalgic merch from past movies, TV shows and more, and we’re especially stoked about today’s featured pedal. The Dark Father Preamp is clearly representative of a certain Jedi-turned-Sith, and it sounds just as evil. Melding elements of overdrive, fuzz, distortion, EQ, boost and preamp, this multi-faceted effect is not only fun to look at, it sounds...

We live in an effects pedal world that can sometimes become saturated with run-of-the-mill 2- and 3-knob units that don’t necessarily stand out from the crowd. Today’s pedal, the VVco Pedals Sports Almanac Theremin, is the exact opposite of this, bringing new and exciting sonic ideas to the table. With just 2 knobs and 1 switch, it isn’t overly complex, but it will leave your head and ears spinning… The Sports...

We all love a good vintage distortion or fuzz tone, right? While there are some sought-after sounds from the past, there are a ton of excellent modern dirt sounds available as well – but which ones to choose? With today’s effect, the VVco Pedals AfterLife Distortion Fuzz, you don’t have to… Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2...

Much like us, the folks at VVco Pedals seem to absolutely adore ‘Back To The Future’ and everything that surrounds one of the greatest trilogies ever created. A couple years ago, we were fortunate enough to have them send us one of their Delayrean Analog Delay pedals, which featured a delay circuit built right into a diecast model of the DeLorean from BTTF. Well, they’ve taken it up a notch, and released the Time...

We’ve always had fun with the wild creations the folks at VVco Pedals keep coming up with: the Delayrean Analog Delay, Dark Knight Distortion, Pickle (Rick) Fuzz…but today’s just might take the cake, personally. Designed especially for my 7 year-old daughter, to coincide with her Squier Hello Kitty guitar, and built into a die cast Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 model, may we proudly present to you the Kitty Chorus Vibrato!...

We’ve got a first today, for us and possibly for you as well. 3D printing has become all the rage over the last couple of years, but we’ve never seen it implemented in pedal form…until now. Ladies and gents, the VVco Pedals 3D Pickle Fuzz utilizes this inventive form of production to create a one-knob fuzz pedal, a no-frills effect that’s sure to stir up some conversation…. There’s not a lot to say...

A couple of months ago, we were honored and privileged to review and demo a pedal that was very near and dear to our hearts: the DeLorean Analog Delay from VVco Pedals. Not only was it a nice-sounding delay, it brought back memories from 30+ years ago via one of our favorite movies, Back to the Future. Today, the VVco folks are at it again, this time taking on the superhero genre with their latest, the Dark Knight Distortion. Housed...

“Wait a minute, Doc. Ah…are you telling me you built a time machine…out of a DeLorean?” Thus begins one of the greatest time-travel adventures ever to be created for the big screen, Back to the Future. Not only is this a personal favorite here at Pedal of the Day, but to millions of movie-goers across the globe. You may be asking yourself, “Why is a pedal review talking about a 30+ year-old movie starring...
