Show Me Your Pedalboard: Craig

Things have been busy here lately at the Pedals and Effects camp, I'm still out on tour and Nick just got back from a tour in Japan!

We've actually featured Craig here before a few years ago, but he has since gone and made some revisions along with a few upgrades:

Vintage Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer

Vintage Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer

I have been a huge fan of Electro-Harmonix’s all analog Micro Synthesizer for years, but it wasn’t until the early 90’s, when I played in a band called Distortion Felix, that I purchased my first. The band’s guitarist Manny and I used those pedals all over the two records we did in the 90’s. Although Electro-Harmonix made a Micro Synthesizer for bass (which I also own), I feel like the guitar Micro Synthesizer works like no other. As I have stated many times on Pedals And Effects, no two vintage pedals sound the same and you have to search for ones that sound good to your ears. The guitar one happened to sound better to mine.

Pedals And Effects hitting hard with another installment of Pedals And Effects 5, and this week's column features Ryan Ratajski of Fuzzrocious. I can't remember the first time I met Ryan but I know the last time I saw him was at this year's winter NAMM with his wife Shannon. Ryan has many fans from his commitment to fuzz (duh!) but he also has great ideas on music, running a family business and currently plays in two bands Cavale and Plutonian.
