We recently reviewed and demoed the Plush® Cream II™ Overdrive pedal from our friends at Fuchs Audio Technology, and today we get to see what that pedal is like on steroids. The Extreme Cream II™ takes everything that we love about the smaller version, and then doubles it, giving you two separate pedals in one, and a whole lot of gain to tame (if you’re up to it). The Extreme Cream II™ gives you not one, but two different...

Tube Screamers are one of the most popular effects pedal models of all time, whether you dig ’em or not. There have been many, many recreations of these fine machines as well, some with excellent tones that nearly match the originals, some that don’t get as close or fall a bit short in overall sound. Today’s pedal absolutely falls into the former category, in the fine tradition of well-defined craftsmanship and tone...

There seem to be a lot of compressors coming out lately that are really complex and intriguing, and while that can be fun, sometimes you just want a simple compressor pedal with easy controls and great sound to throw into your rig, set to taste and forget about. However, you might not necessarily want to same circuit that’s been redone a million times over the last couple decades, but something newer, edgier and a bit more...

A number of pedals from our friends at Fuchs Audio Technology have been reviewed here at Pedal of the Day, and they are always a real audio treat. From delay to distortion and everything in between, Fuchs makes some great effects pedals, and they have also created some stunning high-end amplifiers as well (check them out HERE). Today’s pedal, the Crème de la Trem, is a tremolo that features a little different flavor from the...

Sometimes, you just need a little metal in your life, whether it’s from a CD, a live concert or rocking out in your practice space with a sick, fat, green new pedal added into your sonic arsenal. Today happens to be one of the latter days, and the pedal happens to be from an innovative amplifier and pedal building genius, Andy Fuchs, and Fuchs Audio Technology. Oh yeah, the pedal is the Noxious Distortion. Right away,...

As much as I enjoy a nice, small delay pedal that fits beautifully onto my pedalboard, I love the big box delay pedals, the ones that take up too much real estate but sound so incredible that you don’t mind the size whatsoever. In an attempt to satisfy my delay obsession, I may or may not have purchased a number of these pedals over the years, and one that I really dig is the Plush REP-3 Tube-Voiced Delay from our friends at...

With an astounding amount of recent reverb pedals with more options than you can shake a stick at popping up in the last few years, it’s refreshing to have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a nice, simple pedal. Not that the other reverbs aren’t fantastic and useful in their own rights, but sometime you just want to be able to conjure up a great sound without having to read a 500-page novel. The Plush Good Verbrations...

Sometimes, the simplest pedals can be some of the coolest and most fun, and a lot of times can be used in many different ways. Lots of buttons and knobs and bells and whistles are always fun, but sometimes you just want a pedal that you can only turn on or off, with no controls and virtually nothing to think about. A prime example of the marriage of simplicity and usefulness is today’s wacky signal processor pedal from Fuchs...

The gang over at Fuchs Audio Technology are really well-known for making incredible amplifiers. Incredible. That said, their line of Plush effects pedals has been killing it quietly alongside those amps for years, and today’s pedal sort of combines the two. The Plush Valve Job Overdrive is basically an amp in a pedal, and while it might not be a Dumble, it will make you and your playing sound better than you thought possible....

We all search for warmth in our amps and pedals; I don’t know one guitarist who doesn’t. That was one of the main factors in selecting the Cream Overdrive from Plush/Fuchs, and it is the reason my tone sounds so good. No bells and whistles, nothing too fancy, just a great overdrive pedal, with ranges from a kind of bluesy mild drive to a thick, sonic distortion when really cranked. 3 simple knobs to control Gain, Tone and...
