The Pro
The Pro is a design that I have been working on for years; a that has all the "essentials" for musicians seeking "multi-" in a box. Easier said than done, considering the plethora of effects that musicians use today. After much feedback, the Pro was created.
This unit features a Compressor, a low and high gain Overdrive, Delay, Reverb, and Tuner (Peterson Strobostomp Classic). The unit is a great compliment to your favorite stand alone pedals that you just can't live without, which can be implemented via the on-board patch bay. Click on the Effects/Routing and Specs sub-tabs to view detailed information about the intense features of each effect unit.
***This is a pre-paid order. All units are handmade and assembled as orders are received. Please allow at least 6-12 weeks to complete your unit.
***Individual Effect Pedal Descriptions coming soon! -
Due to COVID, there has been a long delay in parts availability, which will cause orders completion to take longer than usual. Please be patient as I am building the units according to the waiting list and prepaid orders as soon as parts arrives here at the shop. Thank you for being so understanding.

The Lazar
Benado Effects - Analog Modulation Pedalboard.

Modulate your Soundwaves
The Lazar was constructed in memory of my late father, who was a Sea Captain. Constantly working with sea wave currents and tides, I decided to built an all modulated board, as modulation is based on different waveforms.
The Lazar features 5 amazing modulation pedals (Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo), including dual Parallel Delays with a blend option! This unit is a great compliment to your favorite overdrive pedals, which can be implemented via the on-board patch bay. There is much more to the Lazar than meets the eye. You will be amazed how versatile this unit is. Click on the Effects/Routing and Specs sub-tabs to view detailed information about the intense features of each modulation unit.

The development of the PF Steel Dream was implemented in conjunction with Paul Franklin. Paul was first introduced to my products some time ago. He asked me If I could create a unit dedicated to Pedal Steel players. I asked, what effects he thought they would want. After going through different options, Paul narrowed it down to a medium gain Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb. Hence, the PF Steel Dream was created. DETAILS OF THE NEWLY REDESIGNED STEEL DREAM, WILL BE UPDATED SOON.
