Some of the SBS best sellers are in the mix, the Supermoon & Eterna from Mr. Pepper album cover pedals we use, that remind us of people & bands we love, companies we have worked with over the past 8 years or one day hope to, they are represented as well as contributions from friends. Sound and variety were considerations but pedal choices ran deeper. Oh, and a bunch of rad amps! If we can get this all compiled & assembled let’s get friends over to make some noise then see how people react. Overkill had to involve tape echoes and tube reverb units. Eight groups of Twenty Five that could be turned on/or off as desired. The key to Organization & Control would be to break the effects into groups that could be bypassed. Studio A is spacious, the studio vibe is comfortable, the staff always game to dowse the creative sparks with whatever auditory accelerant seems appropriate. Overkill Factor: It’s not enough to simply scale up the number of pedals.

Organization: With many potential points of failure, need an easy way to isolate, test & troubleshoot.Ĭontrol: Once everything is on then what? Space: Plenty of room to assemble & test. If Juan & Nick’s video was Pet Sounds could we make Sgt. The insights and passion they bring to the gear world make it an enjoyable place. We have the utmost respect for those guys. Most important was not to one-up Juan & Nick for competition’s sake. Key considerations needed to be addressed to execute such a foolhardy quest. The notion kept on nagging so we decided to go for it. Too many pedals, too many things to go wrong. At first we dismissed the idea as completely absurd. We imagined making some noise with 200 of our favorite pedals. Building off a 2009 video our friend Andy Abrahamson and I made with 16 fuzzes and the Pedals & Effects “ 100 pedals” video by Juan Alderete & Nick Reinhart from March 2016. This assembly of 200 effects was done as an homage to our friends, family, the pedal builders, companies, and musicians that have made Stompbox Sonic possible. To celebrate 8 years of chasing the creative spirit we wanted to do something big.
