MAESTRO'S LATEST GROUP of pedals stick to meat-and-potatoes effects that cover boost, compression, envelope filter, phase shifting and tremolo. Like the debut models we reviewed in the May 2022 issue, they feature wedge-shaped steel housings with vintage-style brushed-aluminum decal graphics and a lighted "three bugles" on/off indicator. They also keep the same format of three knobs and a mini-toggle switch that, depending on the effect, provides two parameter options for enhanced functionality. The input, output and adapter jacks are on the front panel, which allows for placing the pedals close together on a board. All are true-bypass analog designs and, unlike the debut models, do not have internal trimpots. The enclosures open easily when you loosen four screws (they don't have to be removed), allowing you to access the clip for a nine-volt battery (not included) - handy if it's inconvenient to be tethered to an adapter (also not included).
I tested all five pedals with a Tele, a Reverend Crosscut and a Slick SL56 [see review, page 86], plugged into a Fender Deluxe Reverb and a mid-'60s Vibro-Champ.
