Delicious Audio #2, The Best Synth Pedals, Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit & Synth Expo

What’s Delicious Audio?
Delicious Audio is a blog entirely focused on stompboxes, whose content
is driven by the videos published on YouTube by the most reputable videographers
shooting demos of guitar effects.
The team that runs it also organizes the Stompbox Exhibits, free guitar
pedal parties, with editions in Brooklyn, Austin, Los Angeles, Toronto and
Montreal, and the shared Stompbox Booth at the NAMM shows – see
pictures of our 2019 NAMM booth on pages 10-13.
In 2018 we have merged the Stompbox Exhibit with the Synth Expo (which
we started in 2014), since the formats are increasingly complementary.
Why an Aggregator?
The aggregator format allows us to amplify the content posted by expert
in the stompbox sector, while allowing us to be at once informative,
neutral and supportive of both the content makers and the community of
pedal builders. The “aggregation” of content is not automatic but curated,
which allows us to retain a voice through the website’s blog posts.
Does Delicious Audio Create Any Original Content?
Yes it does. We regularly work on in-depth articles focused on a specific
kind of effect. Some of our most popular pieces are about the “Klon
Klones”, ambient reverbs and Uni-Vibe pedals – you can easily find these
articles through generic Google searches.
What About the Magazine?
The issue you are reading is born on the ashes of The Deli, a magazine we
started in 2004 that was focused on emerging NYC bands. After we debuted
the Stompbox Exhibit in 2011 and then the Synth Expo in 2014, these
shows allowed The Deli’s print issue to survive until the winter of 2019,
when we decided to convert it into the publication you are reading now.
