As Reddit user u/ivanoe put it "Wake up, EHX releases new PICO pedals!". That's right, after announicng the PICO (aka NYC DSP) series this year and releasing two highly anticipated pedals in a new super-small format (the POG Polyphonic Octave, and the Platform Compressor), Electro-Harmonix has added SEVEN more to the lineup. That's a pretty hefty drop frrom EHX, and it's not just a re-release of existing circuits in a smaller package. There are also a few brand new additions to the PICO series.
Walrus Audio, purveyors of fine guitar effects and one of my personal favorite makers, announced on Meta Monday that they will be doing a live stream this Thursday to discuss some "news" regarding the ACS1. For those of you who are not familiar with the ACS1, it's an amp+cab simulator that some would call Walrus' answer to Strymon's very popular amp and cab simulator, the Iridium.
In the ever-evolving world of guitar effects pedals, there are a few names that have stood the test of time. Ross Effects, known for their iconic compressors and versatile sound-shaping pedals, are among those legendary brands. So, when JHS Pedals, a company renowned for their commitment to quality and innovation, decided to re-release the beloved Ross pedals, the guitar community was abuzz with excitement.
