HipKitty Guitar Effects Pedals Review

HipKitty has been in business since 1987, and they have never wavered in keeping their promises of selling amazing hand-crafted, hand-painted pedals.

Why buy from HipKitty? Well, in addition to producing some of the best effects pedals around, you’re guaranteed to get a unique piece of gear. Because they hand-paint everything, no two of their pedals are ever exactly the same. Some may have different colored buttons, be a slightly different shade, or even look almost like a completely different device! Their component boards are all hand etched and populated, too, and their amps are all wired in-house. This means HipKitty can insure that everything is done to their exacting standards.

Everything purchased from HipKitty comes with their limited lifetime warranty, so if anything goes wrong, you can return the product (unless, of course, you go in and try to modify or fix it yourself!).

So what does HipKitty make? The Glaze is one of their top overdrive/boost pedals. It provides warm, clear tones, and the added harmonic content allows players to put a glaze on their upper register notes.

Then there’s the Caffeine Boost, a powerful boosting unit that can also function as an overdrive. It features a tone control that gives it a lot of flexibility.

A third great device is the Java Distortion. It’s the pedal that really put HipKitty on the map. This two-channel distortion pedal can layer the overdrive with some fuzzy tones, while the Rhythm channel features the drive control for true sound control.

These are just a few of HipKitty’s outstanding devices. If you’re looking for a different sort of pedal that’s truly going to look different from any other pedal out there, this is the company for you.

HipKitty Chameleon Boost / Distortion Pedal

Are you looking for a great boost / distortion pedal that will provide you with some very clean boost? If so, the HipKitty Chameleon Boost / Distortion Pedal may be exactly what you want. This pedal was originally created to provide clean boost to a player who wanted his Marshall tone to stay intact while using a pedal. The result, the HipKitty Chameleon, is capable of providing some amazingly clean boost while at the same time being one of the most versatile pedals out there. The pedal can also serve as a medium gain distortion pedal, where it provides the player with some very rich gain with absolutely no shrill notes or other issues. The pedal also features true bypass.

The Chameleon also includes a few unique features that HipKitty added to the pedal to make it even more diverse. In addition to volume and distortion control, the Chameleon also features a harmonics control that allows players to dial in second and even third order harmonics. This makes your tone even richer and fuller, and it makes for incredible clarity, something you don’t often get with a distortion pedal. In fact, the Chameleon has unmatched clarity, placing it a step above almost every other boost / distortion pedal out there. While you may think you’d have to pay a fortune for this, the HipKitty Chameleon is only $135.

Players that love the sound of vintage Vox amps, will want to check out this the new distortion pedal by HipKitty, Oxblood. The Oxblood was designed specifically to cop the sound of a classic Vox. With an eye toward flexibility the designers of the Oxblood added in even more distortion by including an extra tube stage. This really helps to give the sound an overall natural vox-like tube overdrive.

This piece is best suited for folks who either are not in the market to buy a vintage Vox or like the general character of Vox overdrive. If you like the tube sound of the Vox but want a slightly different range, pitch, or tone, then the Oxblood is something that could work well for you. There are a lot of different options to help you to zone in on the exact sound you're looking for - whether it's that classic British crunch, or dial in an excellent Brian May type tone.
