You guys are all super enthusiastic and curious about pedals and effects, it's a joy to demo and do clinics for you.

It's the Fuzz Master General!
Read MoreBack in 2012 I started a band with two friends, the result of that friendship is the debut of Halo Orbit. This is a project of three individuals whose friendship drove the idea of starting something together. I love this band because all who participated are musicians who continually strive to create something totally original.
Read MoreUsually on Thursday we’ll do a Throwback Thursday post, but every now and then we like to switch it up. So today I'd like to take a moment check out some of our favorite vintage, hard to find, or discontinued pedals. So in a way, it is still a Throwback Thursday of sorts as we reflect on the gear of yester-year. For today's entry of Vintage Pedal of the Week we’ll be talking about the Pearl Octaver OC-7.
