June 17, 2025 · 2 sources
Dr. No has ended production of the Moon Canyon, the signature drive, loop, reverb and delay pedal for Sarah Lipstate (Noveller), after 104 Mooncycles, with a final run of 15 units1. The pedal first emerged in 2018 and was released in sequential batches toward a planned total of 350 units1.
The Moon Canyon combines a transparent drive, an effects loop, reverb and digital delay, plus an Out II second mono output so the pedal can be connected to two amps, as Lipstate does1. The controls are grouped by section1:
| Section | Controls |
|---|---|
| Transparent Drive | Drive, Volume, Tone knob, Tone switch (bass boost), Drive Footswitch |
| Loop | Loop Footswitch |
| Reverb | Level, Reverb Footswitch |
| Delay | Mix, Repeats, Delay Time, Delay Footswitch |
When the pedal launched, MusicRadar described it as packing "a transparent, dynamic overdrive; switchable effects loop (positioned post-overdrive, pre-reverb and delay); Belton brick-based long reverb; and an analogue-voiced digital delay," and reported that just 350 pedals would be produced, each signed by Lipstate and supplied in a Moon Canyon book box with a numbered certificate of authenticity2. Dr. No's Roel Aben makes the pedal in Eindhoven1.
As of the report, two versions were still available: the standard Moon Canyon and a Limited Edition Blood Moon Edition with a darker colored moon1. No webstore1.
