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…
DetailsHello everyone – I hope you’re all well and safe. 2020 was… well, a nightmare, wasn’t it?

All this…

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…
DetailsOne 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…

Following on from the Angel of Blues Overdrive Pedal at the beginning of the year, through the Angel of Rock Distortion Pedal 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…
DetailsBless 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…

DetailsNow 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).

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.
