• Product Review: WARM AUDIO / Dirty Boy Jr. Booster by Ryoji Saito – Now Available!

  

  2026/11/13

  We have published a new product review by Ryoji Saito, an artist active as a composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter.
  This review focuses on the "Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive" guitar pedal from WARM AUDIO.
  Using analog amp simulation, it delivers a tube-like overdrive tone,
  complete with dynamic breakup, speaker emulation, and a vintage-style "Variac sag."
  In the review, Saito-san explores the characteristics of the distortion and the usability of each feature, providing audio samples that include both amp-miked sounds and direct (line-recorded) signals.
  It has a crisp, rigid texture, with a touch of raw edge to the contours of the distortion. Yet, it’s not merely 'raw'—there’s a sense of depth to the sound, along with a certain refinement and a reassuring quality.
  "The 'Variac' control is the real highlight of this pedal. While the distortion leans slightly toward a 'fuzz' character, the settings allow for a wide range of tones—including incredibly smooth,
  satisfying lead sounds. It’s a truly fun pedal to play.
  The tonal emulation is exceptionally well-executed. It preserves the core distortion character you’d expect when plugging into an actual amplifier, successfully retaining the unique, signature texture of the
  'Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive'."
  
  In short, this pedal has earned high praise not only for its distinctive distortion and versatile sound-shaping capabilities, but also for its adaptability—making it perfect for direct (line)
  recording and live PA output.
  Discover the charm of this highly characterful overdrive—it might just spark your next new riff or song idea! Check out the full review here:

• Product Review: "WARM AUDIO / Dirty Boy Jr. Fuzz" by Ryoji Saito – Now Available!

  

  2026/11/12

  We have published a product review by Ryoji Saito, an artist active as a composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter.
  The featured product is the "Dirty Boy Jr. Fuzz" guitar effect pedal from WARM AUDIO.
  It delivers a vintage-style fuzz tone with rich sustain, dynamic "clean-up" (responsiveness when rolling back the guitar volume), and harmonic saturation. Additionally, a 6-position frequency selector provides a wide range of tonal expression.
  In this review, Saito-san explores the pedal's sound characteristics and usability, accompanied by actual audio samples.
  "It’s a musical fuzz that offers rich distortion and sustain, while responding precisely to your picking dynamics and the volume control
  on your guitar."
  "The 'Freq' selector is particularly interesting. Whether you need more thickness, better cut-through, or a more defined contour to the
  distortion, you can always find the 'sweet spot' to suit your specific gear and playing situation."
  "I also really like the size of the enclosure. It’s so compact that it’s easy to integrate into a pedalboard and convenient to carry
  around."
  In short, the pedal has received high praise—not only for its authentic, vintage-style fuzz sound, but also for its versatile "Freq"
  selector, which allows for tonal adjustments to match your gear, and its pedalboard-friendly, compact design. From raw, aggressive fuzz to
  bell-like clean tones—discover how this pedal’s character shifts with simple adjustments to your guitar’s controls in our latest review!
