Analogman Bi-Chorus

Analogman ARDX20 Dual analog delay

Analogman Bi-comprossor

Analogman King of Tone

I have acquired a handful of Analogman pedals over the last few years. I also have an Analogman Silver modified Maxon Tubescreamer OD9.

I do not know if these are the best pedals you can get, because everyone has their opinion of what sounds good but I think they are as good as you can get. They are beautifully made with the best components.  They are all very quiet and I think they sound great. The silk screened case designs look fantastic. Analog Mike is very helpful and responsive to questions

I was on waiting lists for the Bi-Comprossor and King of Tone for more than a year: the Bi-Comprossor arrived a few weeks ago.

The Bi-Chorus is my favourite of these pedals - I can switch from a slow subtle chorus effect to a fast leslie effect which is not easily done with a standard chorus. Many years ago I used a Boss CE2  almost all the time on clean tones. Eventually, I decided it altered the basic sound too much and I switched to using an uncoloured sound without any effect. The quality of this pedal has encouraged me to start using chorus again. I particularly like to use a fast setting as a special effect to emphasize certain lines rather than leaving it switched on all the time. On the slow setting you can get a John Scofield lead sound.

The King of Tone is essentially two independent distortion/OD pedals in one box. There are lots of options - you can adjust the overall gain settings with internal dipswitches on each side. Mine has the high gain mod on both sides.The way the two sides interact with each other gives a huge range of possibilities. You can set one side to mild boost and the other to a medium distortion, you can switch each side on independently and then together for a higher gain setting. Or maybe have a high gain setting on both sides together for humungous distortion and feedback! These are highly desirable pedals - they are great value for what they are and hold their value - often selling for more than the new price. 

Analogman have recently started shipping Prince of Tone pedals. These are one half of a King of Tone in a smaller box. They are made in China, unlike the KoTs but that shouldn't matter. The components are the same and they are checked in the US and there are some extra features over the KoT. Also, there is no waiting list for the Prince of Tone! You could always buy two.
