The Car Crush adds a three-dimensional swirl to your sound and really comes alive when combined with an overdrive or distortion pedal.

Chorus

A chorus pedal thickens and widens your tone by subtly duplicating your signal and shifting it slightly out of tune and time. The result is movement — shimmering cleans, liquid arpeggios, and that unmistakable 80s swirl that makes single notes feel fuller and chords sound expansive. From gentle sparkle to deep, watery modulation, chorus adds dimension without overwhelming your core sound.

Use it to bring life to clean passages, soften driven tones, or create spacious textures that sit beautifully in a band mix. Whether you’re after subtle depth or bold, warbling character, a chorus pedal is a simple way to make your guitar sound bigger, richer, and more immersive.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Vibe

A vibe pedal delivers that unmistakable swirling, pulsing modulation inspired by classic late-60s tones. It blends elements of chorus and phase into a deep, throbby movement that feels organic and three-dimensional under your fingers. From subtle shimmer to full psychedelic swirl, vibe adds motion without losing the core of your sound.

Use it to bring warmth and texture to clean chords, add movement to sustained leads, or capture that rich, expressive wobble heard on countless vintage recordings. Smooth, hypnotic, and full of character, a vibe pedal turns simple phrases into something far more atmospheric and alive.
