Tons of stuff from Earthquaker Devices! (Stab: Mr Black Supermoon)
- Gray Channel Dual Dirt Device
  - Overdrive with tons of sounds!
  - 2 channels, 3 clipping options on each
  - Green channel clipping options - Germanium, Silicon, and None
  - Red channel clipping options - LED, Mosfet, and, None
- Night Wire Dynamic Harmonic Tremolo
  - “Signal split into high and low pass filters, then modulated with an LFO that is split 180 degrees”
  - Tons of different filtering options. Letting the center point filters be adjusted.
  - Attack mode adjusts the rate of the trem based on pick attack. Cool!
  - Depth set to zero will act as a fixed filter or phaser
- Spacial Delivery Envelope Filter (another stab here: THE CHIKA-WAA!)
  - Up sweep, down sweep, or sample/hold mode
  - Resonance and filter controls accentuate the sweep, really vocal or really subtle
  - Sounds cool on lead dialed back a little bit.
- Spires Fuzz Doubler
  - 2 channels
    - Green side is inspired by a 60’s Rosac Nu Fuzz. Full blown fuzz at all times. Simple tone control for changing...tone
  - Red side is a silicon version of the discontinued EQD Dream Crusher. Classic transistor fuzz but redesigned to be more stable and “less temperature sensitive”... huh.
