For the last several years London , England ’ s Magnetic Effects has boasted one of the finest Vox Repeat Percussion-based tremolo pedals around , the Electrochop , and the company just made this bad boy even badder . Released in December of last year , the freshly enhanced Electrochop is a thoroughly rugged and modernized reboot of the vintage effect box , maximizing its potential for day-to-day usability in our pedalboard-based world with top-mounted jacks and DC socket . Besides these convenient functional updates , the Electrochop still sports dual rate modes for whipping up plodding Spacemen 3 tones , warp-speed flutter ( which gets wild and ring mod-ish in the upper ranges ), or something in between . A Depth control allows it to be as subtle or choppy as you please , and the Volume knob serves to counteract the perceived volume-drop . It ’ s a remarkably flexible and musical sounding update of the Repeat Percussion , and it becomes especially gnarly with a garagey ‘ 60s-style fuzz box in front of it .
