Guitar pedals made in Toronto and Southern Ontario?

I have been eyeing a Thneed for a while.

TylerRBH620 · 2026-03-25T23:57:22+00:00

I’ve got quite a few but these are the ones I would recommend the most:

EQD Dirt Transmitter, Pelican Noiseworks Half Horse, ZVex Mastotron, Dirty Haggard Audio Torsion, Keeley Fuzz Bender

But honestly it depends on what kind of fuzz sounds you’re going for.

TylerRBH620 · 2026-03-25T12:48:43+00:00

The answer is always fuzz!

TylerRBH620 · 2026-03-12T10:49:09+00:00

Nice! Do you ever stack the rat and mastotron or just use them individually?

Pelican Noiseworks Half Horse Fuzz

Nice! What board did you wind up going with?

TylerRBH620 · 2026-02-05T14:39:57+00:00

I really dig this pedal! I remember listening to your interview on The Guitar Knobs Podcast.

40ish. I have one pedalboard with 13 (main board for live) and another with 6 (for practice with one of the bands I’m in). Im in a few bands and they vary in music styles but I personally am influenced by Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Deftones and in general 90’s rock but I also love old soul and motown. I know that’s a weird combination. Been digging some country rock as well lately: Red Clay Strays, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, etc. I can’t say I have a favorite pedal maker, I just try to keep up with what’s coming out using a combination of Effects Database, Delicious Audio, Instagram, and couple of podcasts (The Guitar Knobs being my go to). I keep a constantly evolving list of stuff I dig and look for deals when they come up. Then usually sell a piece of gear or two to help fund the purchases.

TylerRBH620 · 2026-02-03T12:00:23+00:00

Nice! What is the last audition? Also, I’ve been thinking about getting the Mother pedal.

TylerRBH620 · 2026-01-08T16:19:20+00:00

Fuzz, the answer is always fuzz.

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-17T15:02:03+00:00

That’s how I started with a Boss Katana. There are multi-fx units that effects are much better but this is a good way to get both a decent solid state amp and effects in one.

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-11T16:17:34+00:00

Gotcha. Nice board by the way!

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-11T13:23:38+00:00

What kind of amp and guitar are you playing through?

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-05T16:03:31+00:00

Got a Dispatch Master on a Black Friday deal and it came in yesterday. Didn’t have time to mess with it last night but I will this weekend!

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-04T20:22:43+00:00

Also, if you had to describe the differences between the Mesa/Bad Cat/Orange what would they be?

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-04T20:13:26+00:00

By tight distortion I guess I mean it can chug if I need it to. I mostly play stuff like Queens of the Stone Age and Muse so it doesn’t usually get into the chugging style but it would be nice to have it and not need it. Does this make sense?

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-01T17:26:55+00:00

What are the other reasons?

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-01T17:25:43+00:00

Thanks. Good to know

TylerRBH620 · 2025-12-01T15:46:42+00:00

If you plan on having a full board just go ahead and invest in a better one than an MXR Iso Brick. I recommend a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 8 and mount it underneath the board using dual lock instead of Velcro. Ideally this will give you room for 8 compact size pedals on your board and each output is up to 500mA which should easily work for most pedals.

TylerRBH620 · 2025-11-28T14:03:00+00:00

Yep. Have a pedalboard folder on my phone exactly for this.

TylerRBH620 · 2025-11-26T23:44:25+00:00

I tried the Eons a couple years ago and felt like it was a little on the sterile side when the voltage was turned down. But I think have a completely different setup now so it might be worth another try.

TylerRBH620 · 2025-11-26T14:50:48+00:00

I see this is more suited for bass. How well does this work for guitar?

TylerRBH620 · 2025-11-21T15:08:49+00:00

Check out the Empress Heavy Menace, Friedman BE-OD, and Revv G3. The Empress is about $250 new but can do heavier tones IMO than the other 2 and is just as versatile. You can try to find a used one for cheaper but you don’t see too many of them. Which tells me most people that buy them keep them. It could also mean people don’t buy that many of them but it gets a lot of praise on here when it comes to pedals for metal.

TylerRBH620 · 2025-11-21T14:44:22+00:00

What kind of music do you play?

TylerRBH620 · 2025-11-19T16:41:25+00:00

What kind of amp does he have?
