And let’s not forget Expression Pedals, which can work a multitude of wonders for many, many different effects. Now, what if you could get ALL THREE of these in ONE PEDAL? That’s what happened with the Hotone Wong Tone Cory Wong Volume Wah Expression...

Over the years, a Volume pedal has become basically a requirement for all of our pedalboard and demo setups here at Pedal of the Day. We also love a good wah pedal, and Expression pedals are key to controlling many effects’ parameters in demo situations as well. But what if you could harness the power of these three different pedals and put them into ONE super-enclosure? Well, the crew at Hotone Audio has done just that, with...

We’re going to take a look at the Side Step™, which is a universal, variable-state low...

Compatible with the TimeLine, BigSky...

Well, this is a unique, intriguing and awesome pedal idea right here. Dave over at Seafoam Pedals has come up with a way to take three of our favorite pedal add-ons and fit them into one enclosure (well, two of them at a time, anyway). Most of us use at least one, if not all, of these 3 extras in our effects setups: Volume, Expression and Tap Tempo. Sometimes, there’s just not enough room on your board to have 2 expression...
