Seven stomps from the Nashville-based brand!

The onslaught of new effects continues at the Chicago Music Exchange! We’re excited to welcome Mythos Pedals and their seven core stompboxes to our power-packed effects counter!

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Mythos Pedals is the brainchild of Zach Broyles, an effects-obsessed designer who aims to offer boutique stompboxes with classic tone at an accessible price point.

Golden Fleece Fuzz

The Golden Fleece is an incredibly simple circuit that skirts the line between overdrive and fuzz. This circuit began its life as a clone of an Alan Yee “Fuzzy Nuts” which was supposedly used by Wilco's Nels Cline.

Chupacabra Overdrive/Fuzz

Built around the classic CD4049UBE chip this simple gain pedal does everything from pushed tweed breakup to balls to the wall amp on edge of death sounds. The Chupacabra was designed to replicate the tones of the first ZZ-Top records.

Argonaut Octave

The Argonaut is a no frills pedal offers a clean-ish octave up sound. Using it alone offers you a gnarly, ring mod-esque sound that is pretty funky. The fun begins when you combine it with your favorite overdrive or fuzz pedals.

Herculean V2 Overdrive

For this 4 knob overdrive went back to the drawing board, removing what we deemed unnecessary from the original and tweaked the functions we loved. Herculean V2 covers a lot of ground sonically, from a fat booster to pushed OD
