A Place To Bury Strangers’ mainman Oliver Ackermann is also the head of Death By Audio, the Brooklyn-based effects pedal company that has handmade pedals for acts like Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, My Bloody Valentine and now, U2’s Edge.    

U2’s new single, “Get Your Boots On” was based around a riff written by Edge when he was toying around with Death By Audio’s Supersonic Fuzz Gun pedal.

  • The Hot List : Rolling Stone
    When My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy or Spoon’s Britt Daniel want to push their guitar sound to 11, they go to Oliver Ackermann, maker of the boutique line of guitar pedals called Death By Audio. For the last few years, Ackermann — who also fronts the shoegaze-noise outfit A Place to Bury Strangers — has been building some of the most innovative effects boxes on the market: the “Interstellar Overdriver” is an insanely loud distortion box that also generates bizarro waveforms, the “Octave Clang” mixes ear-bursting fuzz with rich sitar-esque tones and the “Supersonic Fuzz Gun” has six knobs and one switch for endless combinations of guitar noise.
