About Dreadbox
We have new and used Dreadbox gear available on our website for fast direct delivery direct to you from across sellers in all areas of the USA & UK.
Dreadbox is a Greek company known for its high-quality analogue synthesizers, effects pedals, and modular gear. Originally focused on synth design, Dreadbox expanded into guitar effects, creating pedals that bring rich, atmospheric textures and deep analogue tones. Their pedals, such as the **Raindrops** delay/reverb and **Komet** distortion, are celebrated for their lush, organic sound and hands-on control. With a strong emphasis on analogue circuitry and innovative designs, Dreadbox appeals to musicians looking for unique, expressive effects that stand out from the crowd.
Digital
A digital pedal processes the guitar signal using digital signal processing (DSP) instead of analogue circuitry. This allows for precise, high-fidelity effects, longer delay and reverb times, advanced modulation, and extensive programmability. Digital pedals often feature multiple effect types, presets, MIDI control, and deep parameter editing, making them ideal for versatile sound design. While some players prefer the warmth of analogue effects, modern digital pedals can accurately emulate classic sounds or create entirely new tones. Popular digital pedals include the Strymon Timeline (delay), Eventide H9 (multi-effect), and Line 6 HX Stomp (amp and effects modeller), offering studio-quality sound in a compact format.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
Reverb
Reverb simulates the natural echoes and reflections of sound in different spaces, adding depth and atmosphere to a guitar’s tone. It can range from short, subtle room reverbs to large, ambient cathedral-like spaces. Common types of reverb include spring reverb (found in vintage amplifiers), plate reverb (a smooth studio-style effect), and shimmer reverb (which adds ethereal, harmonised overtones). Reverb is essential in many genres, from surf rock and blues to shoegaze and ambient music. Popular reverb pedals include the Boss RV-6, Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail, and Strymon BigSky, offering everything from classic warmth to expansive soundscapes.
Stereo
Stereo refers to a sound setup or effect that uses two channels (left and right) to create a sense of space and dimension in the audio. In a stereo configuration, sounds are panned across the left and right speakers or headphones, providing a more immersive and dynamic listening experience compared to mono, which uses only a single channel.
In the context of guitar pedals, a stereo pedal can output a signal to two separate channels, offering a broader soundstage and enhancing effects like delay, reverb, chorus, and panning. This allows for more complex and expansive soundscapes, with some pedals offering true stereo outputs to achieve rich, spatial effects that evolve across both channels. Popular stereo pedals include the Strymon Timeline, Eventide H9, and Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Stereo, which all utilise stereo outputs to create rich, evolving tones that feel more immersive in a performance or recording setting.
