“Kicking in the Bluesbreaker pedal is a bit like creeping up behind old ladies and popping a balloon behind their heads to scare them.

Dark, thick and satisfying.”

Boutique amps and effects pedals can cost an absolute fortune. However, with our range of effects pedals the need for those specialist and expensive units is at an end. Each one has been carefully designed to give you the best possible range of performance and maximum amount of control for the minimum of cost.

Equally important, when you press the ‘off’ button, your sound will return to being 100% pure and untouched thanks to their completely passive bypass.

ED-1 Edward the Compressor

Add sustain to solos, even out attack and get rid of unwanted peaks and troughs. For liquid leads, funky clean chords or choppy yet consistent chicken pickin’, call on Edward the Compressor.

In addition, target the frequencies you want to compress with the Emphasis control, which means that you can, for example, tighten up or compress your bass notes and let your treble notes ring out. Features: Controls for Emphasis, Volume, Attack and Compression. Solid metal construction and passive bypass.

GV-2 Guv’nor Plus

Shedloads of gain and loads of level, the GV-2 has all the power and tone of our original, much-loved Guv’nor pedal – and beyond!

The GV-2’s expanded Gain structure allows you to steer your guitar tone through many different styles and adding one to your set-up is just like adding another Marshall amp to your rig.

JH-1 Jackhammer

This metallic monster boasts two modes (O/D and Dist), each of which

is loaded with ungodly gain plus all the tonal control you need to push your guitar’s sound straight over the edge. From cranium-crushing crunch and scooped modern metal mayhem to savage slamming solos, it’s unique dual-control contour section gives you fearsome flexibility across the mid-range, allowing you to focus your tone. The JH-1 is the most extreme distortion pedal on the planet.

Features: Selector switch for O/D and Dist modes, controls for Gain, Master Volume, Contour, Contour Frequency, Bass and Treble. Solid metal casing and passive bypass.

metal construction.

BB-2 Bluesbreaker II

This bluesy bruiser is effectively two pedals in one – a tonally transparent booster that gives your solos that extra lift, and a truly valve-like overdrive that’s so rich in second order harmonics it’ll make your guitar gently weep. Blues Mode is reminiscent of the tonal and distortion characteristics of our non-Master Volume amps such as the classic Bluesbreaker combo from the 1960s. If that’s not enough, the BB-2’s completely passive bypass means that you don’t lose any of your guitar’s pure tone when the pedal’s not in use! Features: Mode switch to select Blues or Boost. Controls for Drive, Tone and Volume. Solid metal casing and passive bypass.
