We reviewed and demoed the first incarnation of today’s pedal, the Mantic Effects Proverb LE Reverb, about 5 years ago, and we loved it. However, once this newer version came out, we couldn’t help but feel we had missed out on an important new option, and wanted to get back and check it out. Well, that time has come, and we’re so stoked to bring you the latest version of this incredible ambient machine. Not your...

The products created by the team at Mantic Effects are always wild, unpredictable and fairly awesome, let’s face it. From low-end powerhouses like the Beef Bag Subharmonic and the Thug Low End Boost to the tonal enhancements of the Proverb Reverb and Isaiah Delay to the heavy, dirty sounds of the Vitriol Distortion and the Flex TMR PLL Monophonic Synth Fuzz, they’ve got a lot of cool stuff to choose from. Sticking in the...

If you dig effects pedals, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard, seen and/or played something from Mantic Effects. If you have ears, there’s also a good chance you’ve come across an artist named Jack White….many, many times, some probably without you even knowing it. Jack’s record label Third Man Records and Mantic have teamed up for today’s featured pedal, the Flex TMR PLL Monophonic...

Altough we don’t do it as often as we should, a good bass demo is always a fun way to end a long week. And speaking of bass pedals, the crew at Mantic Effects have been building some low end-inspired pieces of gear for years now, several of which we’ve been fortunate enough to tackle here at Pedal of the Day. Today’s effect might not be as flashy as some of those others, but it’s an important piece to any bass...

We sure love to experiment with anything that comes our way from Mantic Effects near Denver, CO, and that certainly didn’t change when today’s pedal arrived on our doorstep. The Vitriol (which means a sulfate of any of various metals, such as copper, iron, or zinc) Distortion is a simple yet complex dirt box, excellent for both bass and guitar, and one that leaves you hungry for more sonic experimentation. Plus, you can...

In today’s crazy world of delay pedals, with all the tricks and secrets and incredible things they can now do, it’s sometimes nice to have a simple, laid-back delay pedal, capable of subtle tones and monstrous adventure at the same time. Today’s featured pedal is just that, as are most of the pedals from Mantic Effects. The Isaiah Delay is a three-knob echo beast, producing an over-the-top amount of noise and fun,...

Well, it’s official: Reverb has been creeping up into our subconscious for a while now, and it has firmly planted itself in the Number Two spot on the list of effects we love the most right now (Delay is Number One, and that will probably always remain). That said, when the opportunity to snatch up a Proverb Reverb from Mantic Effects came up, it was a basic no-brainer, as they create some of the most unique and wacky pedals out...

How do I put this? The Mantic Beef Bag is probably the single greatest effect experience in the history of ever! As a bassist, there is no greater joy than manipulating that sub frequency and shaking the building. Yes, building, not stage. This amazing sub hones in on the 35hz and 60hz range. 35 hz! The resonant frequency of a lot of cabs is 30hz, so be careful with this pedal! This is not subtle by any means. This is referred to as a...
