or, why there’s been no new pedals for a while Good morning everyone – I hope you’re all doing well. I thought I’d put a few words on the site about how things have been at Vein-Tap.com HQ, and also, to explain why there’s not been a single new pedal from Vein-Tap.com since before we’d…
Hello everyone – I hope you’re all well and safe. 2020 was… well, a nightmare, wasn’t it? Not least for us musicians – as if following our passion for music wasn’t already tough enough, COVID-19 caused arguably the worst global disruption in a generation, and removed the ability to play live music completely. All this…
Beyond proud are we to announce the Little Horn Clean Boost Pedal’s v3.0 upgrade. Tone Demos, not words! As is traditional here at Vein-Tap.com, every time we run out of a certain PCB we challenge ourselves to take what is great about the pedal and add a little something new. This time round, we thought…
One of the first ever proper effects pedals we ever released, the Little Horn, gets an upgrade this month. We needed a circuit board fabrication run, having sold all of the v1.0 PCBs, and thought we’d use this opportunity to improve the pedal. We’ve changed the circuit so that turning the Boost control no longer…
Exciting news for anyone with a Roland Amp, a Boss RC series looper, or any Boss effects pedal which makes use of a dual momentary footswitch – the Skinny Little Twins just got updated so that now, you’re able to choose between soft-touch and hard click footswitches, with each coming in Normally Open and Normally…
One of the great things about the Dark Triad Overdrive / Distortion Pedal is how surprisingly subtle it can be. You can even use it as a pre-amp to sculpt your tone, perhaps by boosting the mids to cut through a mix, or by using it as a high pass filter to get rid of…
Following on from the Angel of Blues Overdrive PedalĀ Ā at the beginning of the year, through the Angel of Rock Distortion PedalĀ in November, we’ve just announced this little beauty: smaller, more affordable, yet several stages more aggressive that its angelic cousins, this is SAINT DOOM. He’s a terrifying fuzz pedal, designed to bring the hairiest, filthiest…
Bless its heart, it was looking a little abandoned. But now the Murder One XLR Killswitch has been updated; we’ve tinkered with the circuitry which means he’s now completely safe to use with condenser microphones with phantom power, and he’s totally noiseless and pop-free. We’ve also added the option to include and off / on…
This little beauty is the Angel of Rock. it was designed to be the greatest and best rock distortion pedal you can possibly get hold of, with a tone reminiscent of the Marshall JTM45. Simple to use, with Drive, Tone, and Volume knobs, a Rhythm / Lead toggle switch and a three-position Bass Tamer toggle…
Our favourite American tone reviewer and fellow soldier of rock, The Tone King, has reviewed our very own Angel of Blues Overdrive pedal. FILL YOUR EARS:
Greeting tone chasers! The Tone King, YouTube’s premier independent guitar gear reviewer, has done us a massive favour (or, as he would say, favor) by reviewing the Little Horn clean boost pedal for us. No words! Let’s just video!
Something Loud This Way Comes We have been waiting an absolute age to drop this bomb. The Little Horn Clean Boost – the only guitar boost pedal you’ll ever need – is live. The Little Horn is something we’ve been working on for a long time, and we’ve spent that time carefully selecting exactly which…

Our Gallows Dual True Bypass Looper is a beautiful, small-footprint way to clean up your signal, or to switch in two separate, independent banks of pedals all at…
The Tone King, guitar gear reviewer extraordinaire, has kindly taken time to dedicate an entire review – out of his amazing, annual 30 Pedals in 30 Days series – to Vein-Tap.com gear! We were hoping that he’d like our pedals, and it certainly seems as though he did! We’d like to say thank you to…

We’ve just released a brand new pedal, the Little Splitter. He’s the SEPARATOR’s little brother in that he’s a simple A/B switch: you can choose two inputs / outputs to go to a common destination. By which we mean, you can use the Little Splitter to send one guitar to two amps to choose between,…

Mr. Bond was kind enough to take time to review the Murder One killswitch pedal – he made some very cool doom riffs with it, showing his skills, and seemed to like what the M1 can do! Check out the video here.
Having left it a while since the Noose True Bypass Looper, we’ve decided to launch the mighty SEPARATOR AB/Y switch. The SEPARATOR will split your signal to two outputs, which can then be selected one, the other, or both. The SEPARATOR has dual LED indicators to let you know which outs are selected, to take…
We’re on a roll! Another beautiful new product from Vein-Tap.com this time comes in the form of the Noose, our True Bypass Looper. Give the Noose True Bypass Looper‘s Product Page a look if you’d like to clean up your signal path, or switch in a bank of pedals with just one footswitch strike.
Well, this is out of the blue. But hey, when you’ve got a good idea, no use in keeping it to yourself, is there? THIS is the Murder One. It’s beautiful, it’s handy as hell and it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to spice up your playing. Check out the Murder One Killswitch pedal…
Now then, now then. Here at Vein-Tap.com, we’re not used to repeating ourselves (ahem) or pushing old products into new packages and calling them “new” (this one actually is true). However, we realised that the Vein Tap 2, the dual output tap tempo pedal we offer, could do with just a little tweaking. That’s why…
We’ve just released a video demonstrating the awesome powers of our fantastic new pedal, the Leech Passive Volume Attenuator. Check it out, as the young people of today say;
Ladies and Gentlemen, we here at Vein-Tap.com are beyond thrilled to announce The Leech. It’s a great little switch that can bleed a beautiful crunch or clean sound out of a lead amp channel, adding an extra dimension to your playing dynamics. CheckĀ The Leech Passive Volume AttenuatorĀ out here. Enjoy!
We are champing at the bit for you to see the video we’ve made with a Skinny Little Twins Dual Momentary Footswitch paired with a Boss RC-3. But… you’re going to have to wait just a little while. It’s coming, trust us! In the meantime, we’ve just added the ability to Review our pedals on…
We’ve been busy. We’ve updated our Compatibility Article (previously Which Pedals Can Use a Vein Tap?) to include a greater range of pedals and manufacturers. We’ve also added details as to which prefer a Vein Tap, and which prefer a Vein Tap Plus (as a rule: Boss and Roland items like Vein Taps Plus, most…
You might not have believed us when we said that it’s not just delay pedals you can use a Vein Tap with. Well, he’s proof, as we use a Vein Tap to control the rate of this beautiful green phaser.
With this video, we explain some of the advantages of a “normally open” (also known as “push to make”) momentary footswitch. Please forgive my froggy throat, I’m working through a little manflu.
It’s done; it’s official; it’s finished; it’s ready. Yep, that’ll do. Over the next few days and weeks we’ll be including more videos, articles, hints, tips and tasty titbits relating to the most stylish tap tempo ever created. In the meantime, see what we’ve done so far, enjoy having a look around and maybe even……
