JFX Pedals unveils the Mesquerfresquer, a 12-stage Phaser reminiscent of the classic Moogerfooger unit.
The Mesquerfresquer is designed to offer subtle tonal coloration or extremely deep phasing and contains multiple CV/Expression Pedal inputs and outputs. This allows each parameter to be manipulated and controlled simultaneously, while also providing modular interconnectivity between other Moogerfooger analog effects.
Pedalboard friendly: the Mesquerfresquer comes in a light and compact enclosure that is 35%smaller than the original! It maintains top-mounted jacks and is powered by a standard 9V(center-negative) adapter.
Each pedal is assembled by hand and tested personally by the Jordan Fresque himself.
The Mesquerfresquer 12-Stage Phaser features include:
- DRIVE: Adjusts audio input gain with three-color level LED
- BYPASS: On/Bypass switch with two-color LED indicator
- RESONANCE: Determines the height and sharpness of the peaks in the phaser frequency response
- RATE: Varies the LFO frequency from 0.01Hz - 250Hz with indicator LED
- LO/HI: Selects between the low LFO range (0.01Hz-2.5Hz) and the high LFO range(1.0Hz-250Hz)
- AMOUNT: Determines how much the LFO modulates the phaser sweep parameter
- SWEEP: Shifts the phaser frequency response over a six-octave range
- 6-STAGE/12-STAGE: Select between 6-stage and 12-stage phaser modes
- 1/4” CV/EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUTS: Rate, Amount, Resonance and Sweep
- 1/4” CV OUTPUTS: LFO
- Beautifully designed Japanese TAKACHI enclosures with quality hardware
- Made in Canada
JFX Pedals 12-Stage Phaser is now available for pre-order.

Does the guitar’s design encourage sonic exploration more than sight reading?
A popular song between 1910 and 1920 would usually sell millions of copies of sheet music annually. The world population was roughly 25 percent of what it is today, so imagine those sales would be four or five times larger in an alternate-reality 2024. My father is 88, but even with his generation, friends and family would routinely gather around a piano and play and sing their way through a stack of songbooks. (This still happens at my dad’s house every time I’m there.)
Back in their day, recordings of music were a way to promote sheet music. Labels released recordings only after sheet-music sales slowed down on a particular song. That means that until recently, a large section of society not only knew how to read music well, but they did it often—not as often as we stare at our phones, but it was a primary part of home entertainment. By today’s standards, written music feels like a dead language. Music is probably the most common language on Earth, yet I bet it has the highest illiteracy rate.
Developed specifically for Tyler Bryant, the Black Magick Reverb TB is the high-power version of Supro's flagship 1x12 combo amplifier.
At the heart of this all-tube amp is a matched pair of military-grade Sovtek 5881 power tubes configured to deliver 35-Watts of pure Class A power. In addition to the upgraded power section, the Black Magick Reverb TB also features a “bright cap” modification on Channel 1, providing extra sparkle and added versatility when blended with the original Black Magick preamp on Channel 2.
The two complementary channels are summed in parallel and fed into a 2-band EQ followed by tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo effects plus a master volume to tame the output as needed. This unique, signature variant of the Black Magick Reverb is dressed in elegant Black Scandia tolex and comes loaded with a custom-built Supro BD12 speaker made by Celestion.
Price: $1,699.
Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine is one of the loudest guitarists around. And he puts his volume to work creating mythical tones that have captured so many of our imaginations, including our special shoegaze correspondent, guitarist and pedal-maestro Andy Pitcher, who is our guest today.
My Bloody Valentine has a short discography made up of just a few albums and EPs that span decades. Meticulous as he seems to be, Shields creates texture out of his layers of tracks and loops and fuzz throughout, creating a music that needs to be felt as much as it needs to be heard.
We go to the ultimate source as Billy Corgan leaves us a message about how it felt to hear those sounds in the pre-internet days, when rather than pull up a YouTube clip, your imagination would have to guide you toward a tone.
But not everyone is an MBV fan, so this conversation is part superfan hype and part debate. We can all agree Kevin Shields is a guitarists you should know, but we can’t all agree what to do with that information.
