Anarchy Audio Chaos Star Oscillator/Envelope Filter. Anarchy Audio Baa Bzz Fuzz (Roland Bee Baa Fuzz). I've already snagged my two favourites, but there are several other interesting ones on offer besides: These are generally gloriously richly textured pedals - and I particularly like the various shades of dirt on offer here. There is several years of pedal innovation here and lots of discontinued pedals along the way. I first came across them while doing research for HM-2 Clones (Deadwoods Fuzz), and then reinforced by an appearance of the Baa Bzz Fuzz on That Pedal Show - I of course had to have both, but not necessarily in that order. Analog.Man Sun Face Red Dot NKT Fuzz (fully loaded)Ī diminutive Boutique Australian pedal-builder that's been going for a little longer than you might credit. Analog.Man King of Tone (+JHS 4-Star Mod). Analog.Man Beano Boost (Treble Booster). Pretty much all of Mike's pedals are excellent - many rate his vintage analogue delays too, but I'm really only properly interested in the following three: The most famous Piera pedal is the celebrated King of Tone - based on an early Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal with additional boost - I personally prefer the more compact Prince of Tone - which foregoes the boost options, but gives you more gain in the highest setting. Importantly though, prices here are pretty reasonable. The most significant disincentive though it that near enough everything is hand-made one-at-a-time in the USA (waiting list) and only available direct from Analog.Man - so these can be difficult to come by for UK customers - not many turn up on either. 'King of Tone' Mike Piera is extremely well known within boutique pedal-making circles (circuits!) - and his library and inventory of rare and amazing transistors and other vintage components is legendary.

The following listing is alphabetical by Pedal Maker Brand - with over 2,000 pedals covered across more than 160 key brands / makers. I am also very amenable to second-hand, as long as said pedals are in pretty pristine condition and as long as someone is not trying to fleece me at 2 or 3 times face-value. These things change on pretty much a daily basis - and are definitely highly influenced by price and availability as well as forthcoming pedal introductions. I have a sort of ongoing dynamically adjusting wishlist where I log potential acquisition targets and weigh them up against everything else that is out there - in terms of tone, feature set, versatility, practicality, form-factor, availability and price. I’ve since tagged on a whole heap of additional pedals which are of interest to me by those brands/makers already covered in my blog posts - these may or may not be universally acclaimed to be the best by said maker - they are purely my own preferences. This essentially started as a companion piece to the previous / associated ’ More Pedal Chain Delight’ article.
