Brand
Dreadbox is a brand known for its innovative effects pedals, combining traditional guitar pedal designs with creative, synth-oriented features. Based in Athens, Greece, Dreadbox originally made its name with analogue synths and Eurorack modules, but its foray into pedals has further established it as a unique player in the music technology space. Their pedals, like the *Lethargy* phaser and *Kinematic* compressor/envelope filter, offer a mix of classic effects and experimental options, appealing to both guitarists and synth enthusiasts.
The *Lethargy* pedal features an 8-stage phaser with an LFO and a manual knob for real-time sound manipulation, while the *Kinematic* is a dual-function pedal that can toggle between a compressor and envelope filter. Both pedals integrate patchable modulation options that are compatible with Eurorack systems, allowing for greater creativity. Dreadbox’s pedals are known for their high build quality and distinct design, making them a go-to for musicians looking to expand their sonic palette.

An envelope filter reacts to your playing dynamics, opening and closing its sweep based on how hard you pick. Dig in and it quacks, ease off and it softens — delivering that unmistakable funk snap, auto-wah bounce, and touch-sensitive groove that feels alive under your fingers. It’s expressive, rhythmic, and full of character.
Use it to bring movement to clean riffs, add vocal-like sweeps to bass lines, or inject serious funk into your rhythm playing. From subtle shimmer to full-on 70s squelch, an envelope filter turns your picking hand into the control knob.

A synth pedal transforms your guitar signal into rich, layered tones that mimic the sounds of a synthesiser. Using pitch tracking and waveform generation, it can produce everything from deep bass lines to shimmering pads and futuristic leads. Synth pedals open up a wide creative range, blending the expressiveness of guitar playing with electronic textures, making them ideal for experimental sounds, ambient music, or adding a modern edge to classic riffs.
A tremolo pedal modulates the volume of your guitar signal up and down in a rhythmic pattern, creating a pulsing or wavering effect that can sound vintage and hypnotic or sharp and choppy depending on the settings. It’s one of the oldest effects in guitar history, famously used on classic amps from the 1950s and ’60s.
Most tremolo pedals let you control the speed, depth, and wave shape, allowing you to go from smooth, subtle swells to intense stuttering tones. It’s a simple but expressive effect that adds movement and character to your sound.
Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
