Inside the July Surprise

We didn’t see this coming — and that made it even better. On July 31st, GuitarPedalX dropped their latest Pedal Chain Update, and nestled between some of the biggest boutique names in the game was our own Mosferatwo. It’s part of a carefully assembled rig that spans continents and categories, each pedal chosen not for hype, but for how it plays.

The series — now in its seventh installment of the year — is titled “Epic Global Showcase,” and it lives up to the name. This isn’t a press release dump. It’s a highly selective, personal inventory of tone, where only the most inspiring gear survives the rotation.

The Most Personal Pedalboard on the Internet

If you’ve followed GuitarPedalX for a while, you know Stefan Karlsson’s approach is more than editorial — it’s ritual. Each month, he revisits his pedalboard like a chef perfecting a signature dish. Swapping, tweaking, refining. His board isn’t for show — it’s a living, breathing tone lab.

What makes it special?

• It’s his actual signal chain, not a mockup.
• It’s in constant motion — reflecting real discoveries, not trends.
• And it’s global — boutique pedals from Japan to Canada to Switzerland (that’s us).

Being added to that chain means you didn’t just make something cool — you made something playable, musical, and worthy of daily use.

What He Heard in Mosferatwo

Here’s what Stefan had to say:

“This is one of the most elegant and tonally flexible drive pedals I’ve come across in recent times… It covers everything from low-gain blues to more aggressive classic rock tones — with superb detail, touch sensitivity, and refinement.”

That’s exactly what we hoped the Mosferatwo would deliver. Built around carefully voiced MOSFET gain stages, it reacts to the player — not just the settings. Whether you dig in or roll back your volume, the tone follows your fingers, not a preset curve.

Stefan tried the Mosferatwo, connected with it, and decided it deserved a place on his board.

That’s what makes this so special.

It’s not just a feature — it’s a personal choice by someone who’s tried hundreds of pedals and knows what feels right in the chain. For a small builder like us, that kind of recognition hits on a different level.
