BENTHAM Dual-Channel Bass Overdrive

Bass drives are tricky. When you add drive to a guitar, you get a push… a crunch… a pleasant breaking up; but when adding drive to a bass (due to its frequencies), too much drive turns into sputtering notes or fizzy mess. I prefer a growl and some punchiness, and the LiberaToe Bentham delivers on that front. It is not a fuzz or distortion, but a great pedal to make a bass pop in the mix, or to engage prior to a bass solo.

Proud Adams (filter/fuzz)

A fuzz and an envelope filter in one, and ideal for either lead/rhythm or bass. This may not seem unusual, but add to that a dual channel with various filter options, and you have a killer pedal for $150 USD (half that price if you buy the Proud Adams module for one of the LiberaToe pedal/switcher/router systems).

Pascal is a dual-channel (Green & Red) modulation pedal

This analog true-bypass pedal has exceptional sound quality. The effects are very clear and defined, but also thick and organic. And with the variations of modulations possible, Pascal is an excellent consideration for phaser aficionados.

BREVER - Dual Channel Spring Reverb + Enhancer

Brever may be as close as it gets to an actual amp spring reverb. Now, I am basing my opinion on other reverbs in my studio, although all are digital and not analog, like Brever. As with other LiberaToe pedals, Brever is dual channel, which can mean a few things. First, ......

Holly Belly - Dual Channel EQ/Boost Combo

Nothing cuts through a mix than proper equalization… separating the frequencies and making certain each instrument sits properly and effectively. This is true of a clean or driven/distorted tone. Bass is no different, and years ago (when I first dabbled in music).......

LiberaToe-4 Pedalboard System (routing & switching) demo/review

The pedals/modules are excellent and some of the best I’ve tried. I’ll be reviewing each one that’s in my LiberaToe-4 system (an OD, a distortion, a spring reverb and a warm tape-echo). All these pedals are analog, and you can hear it. I really don’t mind digital effects, and some of my favorites are digital, but there’s something very real with these pedals and the company (Canadian-based and manufactured in S. Korea) did a great job on their .......

Boostequila - Dual Chn Clean Boost with Muscle

Boostequila is a diverse beast! It is a dual-boost, which means two channels, one you can dedicate to a clean channel and the other a dirty channel, or one for rhythm crunch and the other lead, as two common examples. Switching channels is done direct from the footswitch..

Darwin Overdrive

Darwin is an analog touch-sensitive overdrive that can be purchased as a stand-alone pedal or as a module for the LiberaToe system (pedalboard/switcher). It’s amazing how any pedal or amp can sound different, depending on one’s speakers/cab sim, and so,....

Fire Sword distortion by LiberaToe

Fire Sword Distortion is recommended for those who like tube-like gain that doesn't get buried in by other instruments, who play hard rock and blues, funky, for those who want to easily pull backing and solo tones through the middle adjustments, and those who want to create diverse tones while maintaining a small pedal board.
