FL5B

Lyon, France-based Glou-Glou makes pedals for players who don't mind complexity if it means exploring unfamiliar sonic territory. Their stompboxes can feel like full synths.

Part of the FL series—all-analog filter and phaser effects with extensive modulation options. Not for the set-and-forget crowd, but rewarding for tweakers.

Glou-Glou pedals tend toward the large and feature-packed. French engineering for those who want depth over simplicity.
