Reverb Presents: The Pedal Movie

The story of effects pedals, told by the builders who make them and the artists who bring their sounds to life.

From the fuzzed out '60s to the experiemental sounds of today, guitar effects pedals have forever changed the course of popular music. In The Pedal Movie, pedal builders, engineers, players, and fans tell the story of how these strange little boxes of noise have evolved through the decades and how a totally unique industry of small scale artisans has grown up around them.
