Here is a list of the effects available for rent from Thermionic. Yes. Every pedal listed here is one that we have in inventory (or have all the parts for and are in the process of assembling) and available for you to try out. We believe that if you're interested in tone-shaping for yourself, it might be nice for you to find out what you like before deciding that you're going to invest a lot of money in obtaining such pedals for yourself.

Where we have "(out of production)" listed for a pedal, it means that the particular pedal that we have is no longer being produced by that company. For example, we have the Dunlop Uni-Vibe listed as (out of production), yet if you go to JimDunlop.com, you'll see that they have a uni-vibe pedal. What we mean is that the VERSION of Uni-Vibe that we have is the older lamp-controlled Uni-Vibe with the original architecture, not the re-worked version that fits into the smaller "deck-of-cards" sized pedal that is now available.

In keeping with our amplifier philosophy, we attempt where ever and whenever possible, to collect pedals that we believe are musically meaningful and that will help you get to the "tone-nirvana" you have in your head.

Many of the pedals we have are no longer available at all (like our Electro-Harmonix Holiest Grail, or our Damage Control pedals) and must be long-sought on eBay and other used-equipment sites like Reverb.com. In most cases, clones are not available, and when another such pedal will be available for sale is questionable. Once these pedals break and can no longer be fixed, unless we can source others, they will likely be gone for good.

  • Hyper Phase (out of production): A phaser with many additional features.
  • SynthWah (out of production): An envelope filter that has many additional features.
  • Performer 555-A Distortion: (out of production) A very poor-sounding distortion that we obtained for the BAD effects chain challenge!

Jim Dunlop

Jim Dunlop is probably best known for their associations (ownership of) the MXR and Way Huge brands. That said, it was Jim Dunlop who took the wah-wah pedal from the brink of obscurity, purchased the business and rights for the wah-wah from Whirlpool Manufacturing in the mid-1980s, and kept the legacy and the effect going. Dunlop is also known for reissuing the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face as well as the Roger Mayer-developed Jimi Hendrix Octavio effect.

(Production Pedals)

  • Echoplex Preamp: Echoplex EP-3 Solid State preamp sweetener
  • JDF2 Fuzz Face: Germanium Fuzz Face
  • Hendrix Wah (2) (out of production)
  • Octavio (out of production): Clone of original Roger Mayer cheese block octave fuzz
  • Rotovibe (2): Treadle-controlled vibrato/chorusing effect.
  • UV-1 Univibe (out of production): Our Uni-Vibe is the model lacking the "vintage" switch. It's that old...

MXR

MXR is a brand that was started in the late 1970s. MXR obtained much of its notoriety by having been associated with Eddie Van Halen his early artistic output. However, MXR has long been used and loved by many professional musicians. After MXR went out of business in the 1980s, the rights of the company were purchased by Jim Dunlop who has carried on the promise of MXR as a premium pedal brand.
