h boy, what areyou getting yourself into!? The Silver Apple is a wild beast of a fuzz or maybe a synthesizer or both. It’s named after both the first electronic music record and a great psychedelic band with good reason. Sure, you can get some pretty normal drive sounds out of it if you turn down the gain a bit and don’t dial in any glitch and turn your guitar volume down a little, but where’s the fun in that? (actually that’s pretty fun, too). The Silver Apple really excels at producing liquid leads, dying video game arpeggios, nearly infinite sustaining banshee-like fuzz, and even some pseudo suboctave sounds.

Robert is inspired by the legendary smooth fuzz lead tones created by a certain progressive guitarist with the same name. It is not, however, a clone of any of his pedals. Rather, like any Shoe pedals that are named “after” something, it is an impressionistic take on a type of sound.

With just two knobs, you can dial in a range of classic fuzz and drive sounds. Robert loves to be played on neck pickup leads, but also is quite comfortable on a bridge pickup either for lead lines, riffs, or warm and chewy chords. With this compact and user-friendly pedal you can move between fusion, classic prog, classic rock, jazz, garage rock, proto-metal, psychedelic, alt rock, shoegaze, and more with ease.

The Plume is designed to produce a thick and heavy distortion sound reminiscent of those heard on many classic 90s alternative rock albums. It is (so far) the most aggressive-sounding pedal in the SHOE lineup and kicking it on mid song will give you a satisfying explosion of sound.  It does great on heavy riffs, drones, shoegazer chords, and leads alike and (on a guitar neck pickup) can even get you into some smooth prog type sounds as well. The pedal’s lower gain mode uses one less stage of distortion and is generally on the darker/grungier/moody side of things while the high gain mode produces an all out wall of fuzz.

The Frog is back by popular demand after a few world tours and records and such. Frog gets its name, of course, from its sound. Try sweeping up and down on a major barre chord around fret 10 or so and you’ll get a good demonstration of its characteristic ribbit. Of course, at heart, the Frog is a differential pair octave surrounded by carefully tuned class A MOSFET amplifiers. The result is less an Octave Fuzz and more an Octave boost or overdrive. This makes it very useful when playing through high gain amps that can give a lot of octave fuzzes problems. With the gain at minimum you can get a clear and clean(ish) octave up effect that is perfect for clean or overdriven amps and also stacks well into other drive pedals and fuzzes (Savior Machine, Robert, and Pixel are some favorites for this).  You can also get some ring modulation type sounds out of the pedal by playing certain note combinations in the “clean” range.

The Savior Machine is what can commonly be called a “Transparent” Overdrive. You may have heard this term floated about before. What this means, simply, is the Savior Machine will let the natural sound of your guitar and amp shine through without fundamentally altering their character. This means the pedal will sound different with different guitars or types of pickups and its primary use is to add low to medium gain overdrive or (at lower gain) clean boost and tonal enhancements. The Savior Machine is also a very dynamic overdrive. It is extremely sensitive to pick attack, playing style variations, guitar volume changes, and pickup changes. On most settings, soft playing will still come through the pedal with little to no distortion. As a result, GAIN adjustments on the Savior Machine may be better thought of as sensitivity adjustments.
