I grew up listening to The Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive, and My Bloody Valentine. That is what really inspired me to play guitar. All of their sounds and textures made their songs so mysterious. There was this beautiful feeling of not knowing exactly what was going on. You were just hanging on to a song with no instruments. It left everything up to the imagination.

How did you get into making pedals?
Just trying to create sounds that I couldn’t get in other places. I failed miserably for years and then kindda figured out how to make things work.

What a bad choice it would be to vote for them. Obama and Biden are excellent choices and will get my vote.
