Boutique custom shop Messiah Guitars has introduced their first two guitar effects pedals: the Dandelion fuzz drive and Quiggly octofuzz.
The āDandelionā fuzz drive pedal is a three-knob, high-gain dirt pedal that spans tones from a heavy fuzz to a beefy overdrive, brutalizing all the notes while keeping them decipherable even while strumming the most complicated chord. The wide range tone knob is highly interactive with the other controls to bring you a vast variety of sound quality. Its retro goldenrod color, purple knobs, and stylish dandelion graphics add to the joy ā and the purple light-up foot switch replaces the need for a boring LED display light.
āWe wanted to make a fuzz drive pedal where you can hear the individual notes in a chord even when theyāre heavily distorted,ā says Tom Hejda, owner of Messiah Guitars. āMost pedals just squash the notes into a big mess, so you donāt get the complex sound youāre looking for. We found a way to do it differently.
āMessiahās āQuigglyā octofuzz pedal dares to perfect the Tycho Brahe Octavia pedal made famous by Jimi Hendrix. With a quirky octopus-in-a-sweater design on a vintage robinās egg blue face, its 3 knobs are bright pink and the light-up foot switches glow red and ā in a nod to Hendrix ā purple. The innovative pedal preserves the āwoolinessā of the Octavia, adding a couple of useful features. The āChokeā knob cleans up the input signal to tame fuzziness when desired, and a second footswitch kicks in the octave on demand.
Each pedal includes:
- 3-knob controls; space-saving top side jacks; illuminated true bypass footswitches
- Durable, cast aluminum alloy 125B enclosure with fun artwork
- Easy to see, illuminated true bypass footswitches
- Standard 9V pedal power input and internal 9V battery operation
- Made in USA

Are you indecisive on your modulation application? Would you like to blend them? Well, Kernom has your solution with the impressively versatile Elipse is a modulation taproom with harmonic tremolo, rotary, chorus & vibrato, flanger, phaser, and vibe settings. The mood knob doesn't just select the effect, but you can blend them as you twist the knob. The all-analog, digital-controlled pedal secret sauce is in the swirl that blends a slow phaser with any modulation effect to create rich, multidimensional tones. If you can't find a sound in there you don't like, you don't have a pulse.
Shredmaster Hedras showed us his new Cort X700 Mutility II signature that has an American basswood body (with an ergonomic double-cutaway design), a roasted 5-piece maple-and-walnut neck, a compact 25-25.5" multi-scale setup, a roasted maple fretboard, a GraphTech TUSQ nut, and rips thanks to Fluence Open Core Modern humbuckers.
If you see a curl on your capo, you know it was made by Kyser in Texas. They did a unique thing by bringing production to NAMM and showed how they make their acoustic guitar capos. There's only a few parts on their capos, but they're all high-grade components that make a secure, snug, dependable hug on your guitar's neck.
