ToadWorks Redux

Imposible, buzzed like a beehive. Backplate was imposible to get off to use a battery. Manual was good but the pedal was horrible

Lousy. Not much delay, buzzed, turning up mix control made it buzz more.

I wouldnt hammer nails with it.

Forget it its going back to the store

Dlays should be dead quiet. Any idiot who says its not possible should listen to my nearly 30 year old MIJ BOSS DM3&2. Also had a great Dan Echo that was ripped off.


I'll give Toadworks a break..Maybe it was a clunker. It sure was dead in the road.

Well It's easy once you understand it's more than your everyday DD-3 or AD9. I could not get the sound I was going for at first but Ryan at Toad Works stayed on the phone with me until I got what I was going for. Just a lush type of "reverb" or lets say "echo". Very much like tape with a sweetness which you won't get with a DD-3 or DD anything.

Here's some of my normal gear. I make my own 18 and 25watt heads. I'm big into the eminence Red Fang speakers which yes are the same as the Celestion Blues. Both of those speakers are made from the same parts from the same place. I dig my Maxon CP101 compressor as a boost and if I feel like blowing my cookies I plug into a Carl martin Plexi Tone Distortion,Soldano Super Charger or a Mr. Ed by Toad Works. I also love the Frantone Hep Cat. Other wise Just the Maxon Compressor and the Redux Delay. As for guitars I love my '52 Tele reissue and my old Ventura hollow body. Take note if you want too get the best sound out of this pedal you must use an adapter. This thing will eat a battery before you strum your first chord. At the highest settings this pedal has some noise but any good tape delay would have 3x the noise and is 3 times the price and ten times bigger in size.This is the best sounding delay for my use I've come across aside from the Maxon AD 900 which did not get me that tape type of sweetness. This is also True Bypass which is a plus. I'm into Jazz/Rock and Blues and dig people like Tommy Bolin,Wes Montgomery,Hendrix,Robbin Ford ect.

Seems very well made. Took a look inside at the hand wired jacks,pots and switch. Very nice too see hand done pedals like this. I would bring a backup walwart but the pedal should have no problems.

Well from the start everything was smooth. I bought this thing at Rudys Music in New York and Dean Who is a great guy shipped it out the day I paid. Ryan at Toad Works got on the phone with me when I thought there was a problem which turned out to be the battery was going dead. So on both ends customer service was the tits.

You could spend $130.00 on a new DD3 or $140.00 on an AD9 reissue or $200.00 on a used piece of shit vintage Ibanez AD9 and get I guess okay delay. Why not spend the extra lets say $45.00 and get great complex warm true bypass delay? Or if your realy a bone head shell out $500.00 on the Trex Replica now that's a joke.

Very easy to use right out of the box. Delay knob controls the amount of delay, the repeat knob controls the speed with which the delayed signal decays, offset knob controls the difference in delay time between the primary and secondary signals, and the mix knob controls the delayed signal to clean ratio. Very easy to dial in sounds. True bypass switching.

I play a 2002 Gibson SG Standard > Fulltone OCD > ToadWorks Redux > Ampeg Reverberocket. True bypass makes this pedal virtually noiseless when engaged or disengaged. Very warm analog repeats. The offset feature is worth the price alone. You can get a slight phase effect all the way to a random ping pong delay with a turn of the offset knob.

The Redux is very well built. I've only had it for a few days so I cant really comment on reliability. Looks like it will last a lifetime. I would definately gig without a backup.

This is my first ToadWorks pedal. From what I've heard Ryan is a pleasure to do business with. My Redux is serial number 005 and is handsigned on the inside of the pedal.

I have been playing for 15 years. I play Zep, Sabbath, Floyd and other classic rock. If this pedal was lost or stolen I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I tested a bunch of Boss delays before I bought the Redux. They sounded like mass produced junk. Take your time before you waste money on Boss and other mass produced pedals. I bought the Redux after hearing the sound samples on the ToadWorks website. They are very accurate. The Redux is a very musical pedal. Best of all is the true bypass switch - no signal loss or tone coloration when the pedal is off! Awesome pedal!
