from 430 reviewsThis delay is my perfect one. Simple done well seems to apply to everything in life, this is like the Cacio e Pepe of delay pedals.

Another fantastic pedal from Ezhi & Aka…if broken soundscapes and “sentient artifacts” are your thing, this is the pedal for you. Excellent for ambient—also the fuzz is incredible.

I use this alongside a Chase Bliss Mood to make loops out of material that later gets tracked in songs. The Tensor does meat and potatoes styled looping with a few nice tricks up it's sleave. I'm able to get predictable results out of the loops (which is good). The Mood, i get less predictable results, but sometimes great art. The Tensor does the basics really well. My only complaint is that when I shift the time knob left to slow down the loop, it starts to loose its fidelity and sound a little crunchy and grainy. I'm not sure why that is. Time doesn't change the pitch, it just slows down playback time. I wish it kept the clarity.

This is yet another fantastic offering from Empty Head Effects and would find a home in just about any set up! Stacks incredibly well and is also a fantastic standalone overdrive. Very flexible sound options on tap. You’ll love it!

Ezhi pedals have become somewhat legendary over the years and the Brom fuzz is just another beautifully nasty addition to the roster. There are a plethora of schizoid sounds that you can summon from this thing and its tone is massive. The 4 knobs and two (3 position) switches offer an endless combination of fuzz flavors and textures. Definitely for those who love experimentation and are willing to let the pedal guide your playing.

I wanted a CMOS type of drive sound without the investment in a B3K which is basically what the FTelettronica CRITICAL THEORY is. It's not a tone I need often but is something I wanted in my arsenal. I've never used a B3K pedal but do own some amps with the Microtubes and Alpha-Omega circuits. I'd say this does an excellent job. My only quibbles are related to the arrangement of the controls. I don't understand why the graphics are arranged horizontally rather then vertically. I would've arranged the controls more like the B3K. The switching order is peculiar. For the Treble toggle, it's arranged logically, bottom/cut, middle/flat and top/boost. OCD Note: the word, CUT, is upside down from all of the other words in the arc. For the Bass toggle, the order is changed to down/boost, middle/cut and top/flat. The B3K is also not logically set up in regards to the toggles with the Treble being down/cut, middle/boost and top/flat and the Bass being down/flat, middle/cut and top/boost. Neither pedal is consistent. I'm not into heavy distortion. I have 2 favored settings with this pedal. One has the Drive at 12:00, the Blend at 6:00 and the Level to unity which, for me, has it aimed at the LED. The other variation I like changes both the Drive and Blend to 9:00. In both cases, I set the toggles to boost the bass with the highs kept flat. The pedal seems solidly made.

If you want predictable sounds, this one is not for you. If you like to explore and stumble upon sounds you’ve never heard before, this is for you. If you need presets, they are not here. If you need tap tempo and/or envelope control, this has it.

Outside of the great job that it does as a lofi, dark, vibrato pedal, this pedal also exceeds at being a 2 in 1 compressor and chorus in one switch. I set this up in front of a dirty amp and set the pedal volume low so it cleans up before the amp and simultaneously adds chorus. I can't think of any other pedals that do this, and the instant lofi junky nails it!

Another absolute home run from Doug at Mid-Fi! Super articulate and range-y fuzz!

Awesome example of a Lofi modulation pedal. Beautifully voiced and the sensitivity knob is so fun.
Simple and good lookin to boot. My one wish would be a way to slightly open it up/make it brighter but still a banger.

What a great delay that should be getting more attention!
It's voiced so nicely and the modulation is truly special.
And that Flutter function! So flippin' cool. Make sure you have the Depth above Noon to really hear the impact of this effect on the signal.
Aesthetically pleasing to look at, too!

This thing is great for squeezing more out of your existing pedals. Kick it on with a delay or flanger in it and have it go nuts for a bit. When TSA is on, the limit control comes in handy so things don't get too out of control. Then you can switch it off and all is good bc its buffered bypass so the unaffected signal will still go through.

The original Shigeharu is fantastic, and the germanium iteration takes it up a notch. The textures give a flavor that feels just right and the entire pedal feels like it is in the “sweet spot”. The saturation is other worldly in terms of tone and has an awesome compressed feel. Sound Shoppe got it out to be fast too with top level expertise.

For a truly unique sonic experience, look no further. But this is for sure not for the cautious… potential chaos abounds!

Great pedal. Fast shipping. Great price. I love everything about all of this.
