What is more powerful: the pedal, or the foot that steps upon it? Do not ask Crom; he is a gloomy and bitter god who lives in a mountaintop. He won't answer!
For Black Friday 2021 (11.26.21) we are proud to release a limited advance run of CROM. Based on the old Supa Tone Benders and Muff style pedals that inspired our Olympia fuzz of a decade ago, CROM does away with the typical lossy tone stack, instead using an emphasis control influenced by 1950s tweed amplifiers. The end result is much more mid forward rather than scooped, tighter and more defined at lower gain settings, and bullish through the mix at higher gain. Two modes (standard & turbo) are available for setting the gain range and frequency responses. This limited batch is handwired in Columbia with BC184 transistors and a portion of the sales proceeds will be donated to MIRCI (Mental Illness Recovery Center) here in South Carolina.

For those of you who miss out on this batch, we'll hopefully be releasing CROM to retailers in by Spring of 2022.
In this video, Tyler is playing a 1965 Jazzmaster through CROM in non-turbo mode with lower gain, Tucker is playing a Les Paul Standard through CROM in non-turbo mode with higher gain, and John is playing an Ibanez through CROM in turbo mode with higher gain. All riffs were played through a 1990s Bassman reissue set clean and recorded with a Sennheiser e609 to a portable recorder. No extra mixing or sonic massaging involved.
