Holy crap, I can’t believe it! My three new pedals are actually in stock and for sale at Vintage King.
The new arrivals are Filth Fuzz, Cult Germanium Overdrive, and Gross Distortion. (Meanwhile, Duh Remedial Fuzz, which debuted last year, is back in stock after the last batch sold out.)
Here’s an overview video that my pals at Premier Guitar shot at the NAMM show last January.
As always, I’m grateful to the friends who helped make this happen, especially Miko Mader from M1, my distributor, and Tony Lott, who oversaw production at the Cusack Music facility in Michigan. In addition to displaying superhuman patience during the long development period, Miko and Tony made many suggestions that improved my original designs. Thanks also to my pal Tom Menrath, who introduced me to Miko and Tony. (Tom used to work at Vintage King, but now he’s with pro audio champs Cutting Edge Audio and Video.)
I’ve posted demo videos for each pedal here before. But I’m reposting them after the jump in case you need a memory refresher. (I certainly do!) And I couldn’t resist including a couple of brag-worthy quotes from some of my early adopters. Thank you all!
Cult Germanium Overdrive
“The most dynamic overdrive we’ve heard.” —Guitar Player magazine
“Every once in awhile I come across a pedal that just blows me away. The Cult pedal by Joe Gore is indeed one of those. It’s instantly become an essential part of my tone. Well done!” —Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses, Crystal Method, Pink, BT, Dead Daisies)
Filth Fuzz
“Filth is amazing—I love it. So many, many sounds. I dig the way they feel, and how changeable that feel is.” —David Torn (solo artist, David Bowie, k.d. lang, John Legend, Madonna, Tori Amos, Jeff Beck)
“Filth is pretty f’in great!” — Joe Barresi, producer (Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, Slipknot, Melvins, Bad Religion)
“Amazing sustain, sweetly aggro tones, and just enough sonic weirdness to turn peoples’ heads. Bravo!”
—Guitar Player magazine
Gross Distortion
And in case you missed it …
Duh Remedial Fuzz
“Remarkable … responsive dynamics and simultaneously fierce and expressive tones. This is a pedal that doesn’t give up even one less-than-spectacular sound. It reminds me of ’60s records where the fuzz sound jumped right out of the grooves and changed my world.” —Guitar Player magazine (Editors Pick Award)
“I love it. Charles [aka Frank Black] loves it!” —Joey Santiago (Pixies)MORE GROSS INFO
