What do you do when Juan Alderete from The Mars Volta calls you up with some pedal ideas?

YOU MAKE HIM A SPECIAL TOUR EDITION BABY THUNDAA QUICK LIKE A BUNNY.

He called to ask for a "Baby Thundaa with 'less." So he sent me a pic of his "final setting" and I set to work recreating it with as few knobs as possible. Sort of a "set-it-and-forget-it" version of the endlessly tweaky Eau Claire Thunder.

BLAM! Just volume and gain. Yeah, the knob is labeled tone, but if i put it in the distortion position, it would look cockeyed. When we talked, he said his feedback toggle was on, but in the pic he sent it was off. So shit, dude. I got a solution for that.

PUT THAT SHIT INSIDE!

Pot

pot in a baggie. CAUSE WE PRO AS FUCK.

So, if he does in fact need to use the feedback function, just gotta crack it open and twiddle a bit.

Sheeeeit. I bet that guy's not even up yet. California types, you know.
