The modulation monster features a classic vibe sound that's coupled with a vibrato option, and some crazy fun synth/octave madness.
A simple two-knob compressor with a bass response switch.
Wausau, WI (May 1, 2015) -- McCaffrey Audio announces the release of their compressor pedal, the Reactor Boost Compressor. The Reactor Boost Compressor design was born out of frustration with many made for guitar compressors that are, or have been, on the market. Far too many are not distinctly tuned for guitar, while others shine with single coil but "muddy up" when used with humbucker-equipped axes.
The Reactor Boost Compressor has three simple design principles: 1) Simplicity and ease of use, 2) Specifically tailored to your rig, 3) Must shine with both humbucker and single-coil-equipped guitars. Simplicity comes in the form of two knobs, one to control compression and the other to control level, and one, three-position, switch, to tune the pedal to your specific guitar type: single coil, the brighter modern humbucker or the darker vintage humbucker. If you have custom-wound humbuckers, desire a slightly different tonality to better match your style of music, or just want a "way out there" type of tone, McCaffrey Audio will custom-voice that "CRITICAL MASS" control to your liking, just for asking.
A well-made, well-voiced, compressor can be the mainstay of a guitar rig; whether you're looking to get that chicken-pickin' tonality, smooth your rhythm playing, get endless single note sustain during guitar solos, or just help your guitar sit better in the mix. The new, customizable, and highly versatile Reactor is equally comfortable in a vintage tone rig or a rig designed for modern, full-out, aural assault.
Features:
- Neutrik Jacks standard on all of our pedals.
- Power: Negative center 2.1mm standard 9V power supply.
- Single dual op-amp effect with J-Fets and a single diode towards the end of the circuit.
- Level: Increases/decreases output volume of pedal. Increase the level and notice how the pedal starts to push the front end of your amp and other pedals.
- Fusion: Affects the amount of compression and drive when the level is increased.
- Critical Mass Switch: Three-way switch that adds bass response to the effect. Middle is the stock or “jangle” position. Adds a bit O’ snap to pick’n. Left adds just a bit more bass response. Right adds the most bass response.

A classic, symmetrical, overdrive circuit with some interesting features.
Wausau, WI (April 27, 2015) -- McCaffrey Audio announces the release of a new overdrive pedal, the Zero To Sixty Drive. The Zero To Sixty Drive design integrates cool, classic, overdrive tones heard on countless recordings with many of the most requested after-market modifications. The Zero To Sixty Drive is equally at home in a rig crafted for vintage tone, a rig designed for searing modern tones, or anywhere between those two extremes.
Designed to retain your guitar's natural tone, the Zero To Sixty Drive is a classic, symmetrical, overdrive circuit which produces everything from just a touch of "hair" to all out distortion. The classic controls of LEVEL (volume), DRIVE (distortion) and TONE (tone) are just the beginning of this pedal's revolutionary design. The SHIFT switch allows selection between a matched diode overdrive/distortion circuit, no clipping diodes (works like a boost pedal with tone control) and an unmatched diode clipping circuit, to customize the pedals tonality and match your individual, playing style. The BOOST two-way switch allows you to add more bass response to desired taste.
The Zero To Sixty Drive is made for anyone that wants a highly functional overdrive pedal, in their rig, that is much more than a one-trick pony. The Zero To Sixty Drive is equally suited for squeezing out those rich, warm, vintage tones as it is at producing the more aggressive, but equally pleasing modern tones.
Features:
- Neutrik Jacks standard on all of our pedals.
- Power: Negative center 2.1mm standard 9V power supply.
- Single dual op-amp with symmetrical clipping.
- Volume: Increases/decreases output volume of pedal.
- Drive: Affects the amount of gain/drive of the pedal. Notice that your guitar tone is retained even with the gain set at max.
- Tone: Controls the highs and lows of the pedal. Does not act like a “normal” tone control. It is more of a fine tune of the midrange frequencies.
- Boost Switch: Two-way switch that allows you to add more bass response to desired taste.
- Shift Switch: Three-way switch that selects stock symmetrical silicon clipping in the right position. Middle position is NO diodes, just pure op-amp drive (works great for pushing the front end of your amp or another pedal(s) in your chain). Left position is a magical mix of diodes in symmetrical clipping. Adds a slight increase in volume and a tad less compression than the right position.
