He didn't make that, the company is from Vancouver, and their first pedal (the "More" boost) was used on his record, so I guess they have some relationship.
Their pedals are primarily one knob affairs, and $300, but seem...cool.

Finally a pedal to match my Stryper spandex ensemble...

^ Also comes with a "custom bandana", which will no doubt set off the ensemble even more than the pedal would.

They look pretty cool. I'm curious of the circuits as to what they are that warrants $300. That's like D*A*M pricing. Maybe I started too low and screwed myself over. I should have started at $250+ out of the gate

Yeah Third Man is just marketing them.
I kind of wish they had a little explanation what each pedal does in that shop page; I definitely wouldn't be paying $300 for a pedal when I have no idea what it does.

I almost found that more informative than the new prymaxe demos. Kind of nice hearing it in a somewhat "real band" context rather than canned beats and noodling.
$300 definitely seems a bit much for that, though...Even with custom bandana and lapel pin. The Union stuff is cool and I love their aesthetics, but I don't see how those pedals can be so dang pricey...
Skully, you need to start including custom design dirge bowties or somethin in your packaging to appeal to the fashionable players. Then the masses will come and pay $300+
I'd wear that shit.

Damnit. That's the key. Alright. It's been decided. Dirge Bowties come with every pedal, but they all start at $300 now

$350 if you want the silk tie.
Same pedal, though. Just nicer apparel

Watch out for the Tommy Hilfiger edition Klon-style drive. Buy a pair of khakis, you get the pedal free!

They probably print the bandana so you can both view it via viewfinder and play it on the record player. You know how 3rd man rolls.

Those look cool, and I'd love to support a local builder, but $300 for a fuzz is too steep for me. Some demos on the Union page would be nice too...
