Marla Amplification Howling Hound Reverb & Tremolo

Real springs. Real tremolo. A little extra dog in your signal chain.

The Howling Hound isn't your average reverb pedal. Packed into the same compact enclosure as the Marla Robi and Geriatric Chihuahua, this two-button pedal houses an honest-to-goodness spring reverb tank right inside its chassis. Kick it on, and you'll get the kind of splash, crash, and beautiful chaos that sounds like a bull breakdancing in a fine china shop.

But there's a little more thought behind this hound than meets the eye.

The Howling Hound is designed around the way guitarists actually use their effects. The spring reverb is always on, just like the reverb built into your favorite amplifier. No extra footswitch gymnastics required. Dial in your desired amount of reverb with the Dwell and Mix controls, and let it do its thing.

Hit the primary footswitch, and the tremolo joins the party. Dedicated Rate and Depth controls let you take your signal from a gentle vintage wobble to a full-blown rhythmic chop. It's everything you need to get your volume swinging without getting in the way of your playing.

And then there's the second footswitch. This is where things get interesting.

The Howling Hound features a momentary reverb swell that temporarily pushes your existing reverb setting halfway toward maximum. No knobs to twist, no settings to remember, and no interruption to your performance. Just step on the switch whenever you need a little more atmosphere.

Want to wash the room in ambient chords? Let individual notes bend and melt into one another as you work your way through a solo? Kick on an overdrive and give those lead lines a little extra space to breathe? Hold down the swell switch and let the room get a little bigger. Release it, and you're right back where you started.

Four straightforward controls. Two footswitches. An actual spring tank. And enough personality to keep the neighbors wondering what you're doing in there.

As an added Marla touch, every Howling Hound includes a custom sticker that lets you label the controls with a variety of dog-themed names. Because life's too short for boring pedal labels.

Handcrafted in Asheville, North Carolina. Built for players, not board members.
