Complete Voodoo Lab Buying Guide 2026
Voodoo Lab products in this guide run from $299.99 to $779.99 CAD. They are for guitarists and touring players who need their pedalboard to behave predictably, keep a signal clean, power pedals properly, and recall complex sounds without frantic footwork. This Voodoo Lab buying guide for Canada focuses on the practical choices: programmable switchers for larger rigs, ready-to-load pedalboard power packages, and two gain pedals that solve very different tone problems. The brand is not cheap, but its gear targets players who are tired of noise, loose cabling, and unreliable live changes.
Voodoo Lab Brand Overview
Voodoo Lab has built its reputation around the unglamorous parts of a serious guitar rig: pedal power, routing, switching, and board organization. Those are not the purchases that make for the most exciting demo video, but they can make the difference between a board that works at home and one that survives rehearsals, sessions, and shows.
The products in this guide show a consistent design approach. Voodoo Lab uses isolated outputs and quiet switching where noise and ground problems can derail a rig. Its larger switchers centre on presets and MIDI, giving players a way to change several pedals, amp paths, or external devices with one command. The Dingbat packages take the same practical approach by pairing a board with a factory-installed Pedal Power supply, cable routing underneath, and a padded gig bag.
Several products listed here are handmade in the USA, while the Dingbat boards are CNC-machined in Sonoma County, California. That helps explain the Canadian pricing. Voodoo Lab is aimed at players building dependable systems rather than chasing the lowest possible cost.
Voodoo Lab Product Line Breakdown
Programmable Pedal Switchers
Voodoo Lab switchers are for guitarists who have outgrown turning pedals on and off individually. The range in this guide runs from $439.99 to $699.99 CAD, and the key choice is what you need to control. The HEX handles six pedal loops in a compact format, while the PX-8 Plus adds eight loops, user presets, and direct loop access. The Amp Selector PRO is the specialist option for players running multiple amps, modelers, or separate signal destinations.
If your board has a handful of pedals and your sounds change one effect at a time, a programmable switcher may be overkill. Once a song requires delay, modulation, gain staging, amp channel changes, and a clean boost to engage together, the cost makes more sense. These units are about repeatable changes under pressure.
Pedalboards and Pedal Power Packages
Voodoo Lab's ready-built Dingbat packages run from $489.99 to $779.99 CAD in this guide. Each combines a Dingbat board with a factory-installed Pedal Power supply, DC cables, under-board mounting hardware, and a tour-grade padded gig bag. You are paying for a matched system that avoids sourcing the board, brackets, supply, and cabling separately.
The Dingbat Small with Pedal Power X8 is the compact option for a focused working board. The Dingbat Medium with Pedal Power 2 Plus suits players who need more room without committing to a large platform. At the bigger end, the Dingbat Large with Pedal Power MONDO and Dingbat Large with Pedal Power 3 Plus are built for substantial pedal collections.
Overdrive and Tone-Shaping Pedals
Voodoo Lab's gain pedals sit at $299.99 CAD here, but they are not duplicates. The Sparkle Drive MOD is the choice for players who want an overdrive with a clean blend and multiple gain voices. The Giggity is better suited to players treating a pedal as a front-end preamp or an active tone-shaping stage later in the chain.
Both use true bypass through gold-contact relays and are handmade in the USA. Pick the Sparkle Drive MOD if you need a familiar overdrive role with more flexibility. Pick the Giggity if your main concern is reshaping the feel, body, and top end of an existing rig.

AMP SELECTOR PRO
At $699.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab AMP SELECTOR PRO is for professional players running multiple amps, modelers, or isolated outputs who need to change routing cleanly during a set. Its job is to make a complicated multi-amp setup behave like one controlled system.
Four transformer-isolated outputs are the headline feature, but the practical benefit is that each output has its own level and ground-lift control. That matters when different amps react differently or when a large setup starts producing hum. Global phase invert addresses the thin, hollow sound that can happen when amp paths are out of phase.
Preset mode lets you store output combinations for song sections, while Direct Access mode turns each output on or off immediately. MIDI In and Out also make sense if your switching system includes external controllers or other MIDI gear. This is expensive gear, and it is excessive for one amp and a basic pedalboard. For a player using multiple amplifiers or a modeler alongside amps, it solves a very real live-rig problem.
HEX True Bypass 6-Loop Audio Switcher
At $439.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab HEX is for guitarists who want preset control over a six-pedal setup without building a huge switching rig. Its job is to remove unused pedals from the signal path and call up effect combinations through MIDI.
Loop 1 works independently, making it useful for A/B switching, amp channel selection, or remote tap tempo. Loops 2 through 6 are series-wired for a conventional pedal chain. That layout is sensible for a board with a few pedals that need special treatment and a main run of effects that work in sequence.
The HEX has a Quiet Switching output buffer for long runs to an amp, and its relay switching is designed to avoid pops and clicks. It can live on a rack shelf or beneath many Pedaltrain boards. If six loops cover your board, the HEX is a more focused and less costly route than stepping up to a larger programmable switcher.
Dingbat Large Pedalboard with Pedal Power 3 Plus
At $779.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab Dingbat Large with Pedal Power 3 Plus is for players with a large pedal collection who need a clean, travel-ready board and power system in one purchase. Its job is to keep your playing surface clear while placing the power supply underneath the board.
The board is made from American 6061-T6 aluminum and uses Voodoo Lab's rail design for under-board cable management. The Pedal Power 3 Plus comes factory-installed with its DC cables, and the package includes a padded gig bag. That is the appeal here: it arrives as a coherent platform instead of a pile of separate components that still need mounting and cable planning.
It is a serious investment. Buy it if your board is already large, or if you know your rig will grow. A compact setup will be better served by the Small or Medium Dingbat packages.
PX-8 Plus True Bypass 8-Loop Pedal Switcher
At $589.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab PX-8 Plus is for players with a larger pedalboard who need one-button access to complete effect combinations. Its job is to turn eight pedals into an organized preset system while keeping disengaged pedals out of the signal path.
The PX-8 Plus stores 36 user presets, so you can build sounds for intros, verses, choruses, solos, and song transitions without reconfiguring the board mid-performance. Its Stand Alone Instant Access mode is also useful for players who still want each footswitch to operate one loop directly.
An insert loop between loops 6 and 7 provides a place for a volume pedal or another device you want permanently in the chain. MIDI In and Out let the PX-8 Plus work with external MIDI hardware, while the output buffer and Quiet Switching help preserve a clean signal on longer cable runs. This is the strongest choice here for a pedal-heavy board that needs both straightforward access and deeper preset control.
Who Is Voodoo Lab For?
Voodoo Lab is for guitarists who see their pedalboard as part of their instrument, not as a collection of loose boxes. Touring players, session musicians, worship guitarists, cover-band players, and producers who track guitars through several pedals will get the most value from its switching and power systems.
The brand is also a strong fit for players who have already identified a problem. If your board hums, takes too long to set up, changes sound when pedals are bypassed, or requires several foot taps for every chorus, Voodoo Lab has a targeted answer. Newer players with two or three pedals may find the larger switchers excessive. Start with a smaller board and power package, then move into MIDI control once your sounds and signal routing demand it.
More Voodoo Lab Products Worth Exploring
Dingbat Large Pedalboard with Pedal Power MONDO
At $599.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab DBLM Dingbat Large with Pedal Power MONDO is for players who need a large board with a factory-installed power supply and a clear setup path. Its job is to give a substantial pedal rig a protected, organized home.
Like the other Dingbat packages, it includes the aluminum board, under-board cable management, mounting brackets, DC cables, and a padded gig bag. The Pedal Power MONDO is installed underneath, keeping the board surface available for pedals. This package makes sense for a full-size rig when you want the large Dingbat format at a lower price than the Pedal Power 3 Plus version.
Dingbat Medium Pedalboard with Pedal Power 2 Plus
At $569.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab DBMP Dingbat Medium with Pedal Power 2 Plus is for players who need more than a grab-and-go board but do not need a full large format. Its job is to keep a medium pedal collection powered, cabled, and ready to transport.
The supply is factory-installed underneath the CNC-machined aluminum board, and the included cables and padded gig bag make this a complete package. This is a sensible middle ground for players with a core set of drive, modulation, delay, and utility pedals. It is also easier to justify than a large board if your rig does not need the extra floor space.
Dingbat Small Pedalboard with Pedal Power X8
At $489.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab Dingbat Small with Pedal Power X8 is for players who want a compact, properly powered board for rehearsals, studio work, and gigs. Its job is to keep a focused pedal setup portable without putting the power supply on top of the board.
The Pedal Power X8 mounts beneath the board with 3M Dual Lock, while the board's rail design keeps cabling underneath. DC cables and a padded gig bag are included. This is the practical choice for players who want a small board that still feels intentional, not a temporary collection of pedals on a piece of plywood.
Sparkle Drive MOD Overdrive Pedal
At $299.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive MOD is for guitarists who need an overdrive that can cover boost, rhythm, lead, and higher-gain duties while retaining pick attack. Its job is to add drive without forcing your clean signal to disappear under compression.
The MOD switch selects Vintage, Lead, Rhythm, and High Gain voices. Vintage delivers the mid-focused 808-style sound, while Lead adds gain with a thicker low end. Rhythm cuts mids for power chords and funk, and High Gain brings more saturation with articulated highs.
The CLEAN control is the reason many players will choose this pedal. It blends boosted direct signal with the overdrive, restoring attack and feel. Turn it up fully and the pedal works as a clean boost with high output. It runs on 9V DC or a 9V battery and uses true bypass through a gold-contact relay.
Giggity Analog Overdrive and Preamp
At $299.99 CAD, the Voodoo Lab Giggity is for guitarists who want to shape the response of their whole rig instead of adding one fixed overdrive flavour. Its job is to work as a gain and voicing stage at the front of your board, or as a tone-finishing tool later in the chain.
The SUN/MOON control offers four preamp and gain voicings. BODY adds thickness while tightening the low end, and AIR brings out high-end detail. LOUDNESS controls the move from clean to gritty or compressed sounds, while MASTER sets the output into your next pedal or amp.
Put it early if you want it to influence the pedals that follow. Put it later if your goal is to polish an established signal chain. The Giggity is the better pick over the Sparkle Drive MOD for players whose main concern is overall amp-like feel and tone contouring.
