All your essential time‑based effects from the ’80s‑era — in one compact, pedalboard‑friendly box.

Sidekick JR packs a powerful combination of modulation, delay/echo, and reverb — giving you everything from lush, dreamy chorus and shimmering reverb to tape‑style echoes and vintage‑flavored flanger. Designed as a smaller, smarter descendant of the original Sidekick, it doubles down on algorithm options and DSP capability, while staying tight and easy to manage on a pedalboard.

🎸 What It Does

• Modulation (Chorus / Flanger / “Dimension”): Classic‑style chorus warmth or subtle modulation (“Ensemble”), a more 3D “dimension” mode for depth, or a flanger-modeled metallic shimmer — ideal for shoegaze, new wave, synth‑pop or atmospheric textures.
• Delay / Echo: Choose between a vintage-feel tape‑echo vibe or a clean 80s‑style digital delay — adjust time, repeats and feedback to create anything from subtle repeats to full ambient swells.
• Reverb (6 algorithms): From classic Plate, Spring and Hall reverbs to gated, big‑hall “Exciter,” and high‑octave shimmer — great for ambient washes, dream‑pop layers or dramatic lead tones.
• Flexible routing & mixing: The pedal lets you run each effect section independently or combine them (mod + delay, mod + reverb, delay + reverb, etc.). With the optional external footswitch, the modulation section can also be true‑bypassed independently.
• Pedalboard‑friendly build: Standard 9 V DC power, mono in/out, top-mounted jacks, and a compact yet rugged housing — everything to keep your board neat without sacrificing versatility.

✅ Ideal For

• Players who want a compact all‑in‑one effects pedal instead of multiple separate pedals.
• Guitarists chasing vintage 80s chorus / delay / reverb textures — shoegaze, synth‑pop, glam‑rock, ambient, etc.
• Performers or session players needing versatile ambient tools in a space‑efficient pedalboard configuration.
• Musicians building a fly‑rig or minimalist pedalboard — Sidekick JR delivers a broad palette of atmospheres without complexity.
