Sidekick

The Sidekick packs four effects sections into a compact 145 x 123mm enclosure: a fully analog BBD chorus switchable to flanger mode, a delay/echo with up to 700ms of delay time, three reverb algorithms (exciter from the Splash MK3, plate, and shimmer), and a studio-quality buffer/preamp derived from the Magnifier pedal.

Beyond the effects, the Sidekick doubles as a practice and recording tool. A headphone output with switchable amp/speaker simulation lets you play silently, while the DI output connects directly to an audio interface or mixing console. The -15dB pad accommodates hot signals, and a ground lift eliminates hum in DI setups.

Designed as the ultimate fly rig or small-board companion, the Sidekick covers everything from lush 3D chorus and sparky tape-style echoes to spacious ambient reverbs -- all without needing separate pedals.
