This New Hotone Pedal Might Be the Weirdest Pitch Machine You’ll Hear This Year AudioTechnology has just reviewed the new Hotone Freqlux, and it sounds like this thing is not playing by the usual pitch pedal rules. The review describes Freqlux as “far from your typical harmoniser or pitch-shifter”, calling it a pitch-based effects pedal with a seriously deep bag of tricks. With three harmonising modules, pitch movement up or down three octaves, detune-style modulation, panning, delay times, feedback, MIDI control and enough tweakability to make sound designers grin, this is clearly not your average stompbox. AudioTechnology also notes that Freqlux can get into sounds you may not have experienced before, especially if you are into experimental guitar tones, synth textures, massive harmonies, strange movement and MIDI-controlled performance setups. It might take a little menu diving, but the payoff sounds pretty wild. If you want the full deep dive, head...

Hotone Freqlux Now Available to Preorder from Global Music Imports Hotone has been on a serious run lately, and the new Hotone Freqlux might be one of its most interesting pedals yet. Now available to preorder from Global Music Imports, the Freqlux is not just another pitch shifter. It is a deep, three-voice digital pitch shifting and harmonising pedal built for players who want to create huge harmonies, animated detuning, strange textures, gliding pitch movement, stereo width, and full MIDI-controlled madness from one compact unit. A Pitch Pedal for Players Who Like to Go Further The Freqlux is part of Hotone’s NeonGlow series, following the Verbera Convolution Reverb. It shares the same style of modern hardware platform, control layout, and connectivity, but this time the engine is focused entirely on pitch-based sound design. At its core, Freqlux gives you three independent pitch voices, allowing you to build complex harmonies, detuned...

Jim Root (Slipknot) & a Custom James Tyler: Why This Studio Elite HD-P Hit Different Jim Root’s playing is all about precision under pressure — tight rhythms, huge chords, and a feel that stays consistent at serious volume.

Jim Root tries his first James Tyler In this clip, you can see Jim getting hands-on with the guitar and reacting in real time — the kind of instant connection players talk about when the neck, setup, and response just work.

Loadbox Comparison for Guitar: OX vs Bugera vs Two Notes vs RedSeven If you want to run a tube amp silently, record direct, or tame volume without losing feel, a loadbox is one of the best upgrades you can make. Below is a clear comparison of four popular options, with a focus on real-world use: silent recording, cab simulation, workflow, and live practicality.   Scope note: “Two Notes Torpedo” comes in multiple models. This comparison treats it as the Torpedo Captor X style solution (reactive load + IR/cab sim workflow), since that’s the most common modern use-case.
