This doesn’t qualify as any kind of NAMM report. I was imprisoned behind the desk at my Gore Pedals booth, relieved only for bathroom breaks and a couple of visits with old friends. Even so, I saw some lovely and inspiring things, especially the visionary instruments at the Boutique Guitar Showcase and the ravishing stompbox […]
I has a sign. Is anyone attending the 2017 NAMM thing next week in Anaheim? I’ll be there demoing my pedals and checking out the latest guitars and gizmos. If you’re there, stop by and say hi! I’ll be at booth #6820 in Hall A (that is, the pro audio room where guitarists […] Eff me, he’s just soooo good. David Torn just posted a recording of a stupendous looped improv recorded with my Filth pedal. I’m speechless with admiration.
Thanks, Pete Thorn, for making my pedal sound so good.
Nicely mutated and pretty f’ed up, that is. Ordinarily, these Thomastik-Infeld Classic S strings sound more like nylon strings than steel ones. But their cores ARE steel — which means you can play through a magnetic pickup and mutilate the tone with amps and effects. I’m playing through effects designed for Apple’s […] 
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 […] Sorry for even more solipsistic stompbox stuff, but I couldn’t resist. David Torn, one of the players I admire most on earth, just posted an unsolicited demo of my Filth Fuzz on Soundcloud. I love his post-apocalyptic soundscape. For the uninitiated, David is one of those rare players who deploys staggering technical skill in […] Lookit! My pals and colleagues at Premier Guitar just posted a video demo of my pedals shot at NAMM last month. It was a trip being on the business end of that gear-review microphone! Shooting this clip was surprisingly nerve-racking. You have to make the gear sound good … try not to play […] 
Of the four pedals new I announced at NAMM, Cult is probably closest to my heart— it’s my favorite overdrive circuit. If you’ve watched many of my videos, you’ve heard it. I even built it into a few guitars, including this one, this one, this one, and this one. And now Cult is coming […] 
My Filth Fuzz pedal is finally in production and will be shipping within a few weeks. It’s one of three new pedals I’ll be showing at this week’s NAMM show in Anaheim, California. I just finished the demo video, and I’m stoked about how it’s sounding. I’ll also be debuting three other new pedals: […] |
