For our lucky number 13th episode, we present you with the Bogner Burnley, the most \m/ distortion pedal ever made. With a Neve transformer, fancy LED flashing, and the world's first fat switch that actually works, this thing sent us both on a journey of obnoxious transcendence through shred forrest. It's a long one, but we aren't apologizing. Bonus points: count how many times Chance says "juice" or "juicy" to discover the hidden codex.

Wacky chorus + stereo reverb = this one's got some noises in it, and we love how crazy it got. Enjoy our first ever two-amp, stereo recording and all the boyoyoyoyoyoing this Julia has to offer. And on the bass???? Slap on this chorus and some reverb, and get ready to make the Transformers 6 soundtrack.

Ever wondered what a DS-1 would sound like if it oscillated? Here ya go. The Jared loaned us this Keeley-modded Boss pedal, and... well, we did our best to figure it out. They can't all be gems, we suppose.

Our lust for ProCo distortion products has brought us to this fateful moment: a shootout between two pedals with identical guts to celebrate making it to our 10th episode (a truly miraculous feat). The absolute best portion of this episode has to be sleepy Chance waking up in the morning to finish the bass demo in the new recording space after we got distracted the night of the recording by a neighbor's guitar battle challenge. But more on that later...

I wouldn't kick this dirt box out of bed for eating crackers. In fact, my biggest frustration with it is that I went so long without one. This late 80s ProCo Rat II has that LM308N chip in it that everyone loves so much, and that love is completely warranted. You can thank me later for cutting out most of the weirdly existential stuff about musical safety blankets. Trust me.

Oops. This one got away from us when it comes to length, but when the pedal is Dip Switch Heaven (or Hell, possibly), you're just going to go long with all the juicy, splattery options. Listen on to hear maybe the most sensitive pedal we've demoed yet.

Also Chance stutters a lot on this one, so get ready for the re-re-re-re-REMIX.

A friend of a friend procured (a word Chance botched in this episode) a 1990s JHF2 Dallas Arbiter Reissue Fuzz Face. If you think the title of this pedal is big, check out the inclosure of this thing. It's footprint is massive, but its tone is as well, so we're totally down with it. Listen in and find out why this thing is a classic. And just for fun, we threw a Walrus Audio Luminary Octave Generator into the mix, which really put this thing over the top, as demonstrated on the bass by our first ever special guest, John McCall.

Two fuzzes? Yes, two fuzzes. In our first double pedal party, we got our hands on two great Walrus Audio fuzz pedals: the Jupiter v2 and the Contraband. They're nasty in all the right ways, so enjoy some yummy filth.

This one sounds good, y'all. The Klon Clone (is "Klone" still a thing?) world is pretty vast and varied, but this little dude does one thing: it takes care of business. A small enclosure, classy aesthetic, straightforward design, great price... the list of perks goes on and on. If you want a good comparison of this pedal and an original Klon Centaur, check out our very first episode for reference. I don't think you will be disappointed with the Archer's ability to keep up.

So many knobs, such a long name, so little time to demo... This week, we run through a Keeley Monterey Rotary Fuzz Vibe and find a few surprises in the controls. Buckle up for some sloppy Hendrix riffs and plenty of electrical noise as we try to find out if this thing can really do all these things well or if it's guilty of overreaching like so many other multi effects.
