Suhr Effects

In our continuing effort to provide the very best tools for the serious musicians, we turned our attention to other links in the electric guitar signal chain. Having covered guitars, pickups, amps, cabinets and accessories such as the MiniMix II and ISO Line Out box, it was natural for us to further strengthen the entire signal path by developing a new line of pedals that will work superbly with our gear or with other manufacturers' products. Nearly two years in development, a lot of thought and time went into these pedals that will not only improve the overall sound of your rig, but provide added functionality and robust build quality that will provide many years of rock-solid performance under the most demanding playing environments.

Effects pedals typically take a lot of abuse. Guitar players will typically take good care of their guitars and amps but tend to think of pedals as an afterthought that can be thrown around and stomped on without a second thought. With this in mind, we designed these pedals to take a great deal of physical abuse night after night, tour after tour. The boxes are milled out of solid aluminum billets with state-of-the-art CNC for meticulous fit and finish as well as impregnable protection for the components inside. Yes, these pedals are overbuilt like a tank and overengineered to the tilt. You can sense the amazing build quality when you put one in your hands. From the feel of the footswitch when you stomp on it to the feel of the knobs when you turn them, everything about these pedals oozes quality. Koko Boost »

Ultimately, though, it's about the sound and musician-friendly features. Designed by long-time working musicians who are also product designers and engineers, we focused on things that really matter to players who play out in live shows and record in demanding studio applications. We left out the frills and a gaggle of switches and knobs that may seem like they offer versatility but only get in the way when you're trying to dial in the sound in your head. We also added a very practical feature called FX-Link for players using MIDI or remote switching systems to turn pedals on and off without having to insert them into separate loop boxes. As our pedal line grows, this feature will become that much more useful for building a sophisticated rig without frustrating complexity. Speaking of features, all Suhr pedals also come with a battery monitor that measures the voltage of the battery when a cable is plugged in. Riot »

Utilizing the highest-grade quality components and the workmanship of the most experienced electronics techs, these new pedals will provide you with performance and quality that you've come to expect from Suhr.
