Referring to The Blue Stones' record Hidden Gems, Music Radar asks Tarek Jafar:

There’s some great fuzz sounds on the record too – any favourites?

Tarek responds:

Definitely that Double Rock by Z.Vex and the Sub Buzz pedal by Vancouver’s own Union Tube And Transistor. That’s what gives me the fuzzy “oomph” I need during songs like Spirit and the like.

From a March 19, 2021 Music Radar article regarding Tarek Jafar's gear for The Blue Stones album Hidden Gems, when asked:

How do you approach the bass parts live? Any pedals that you’ve found are great in the duo setup for filling out the bottom end live– octave, whammy etc?

Tarek replies:

My go-to pedals for a great low-end push are the Double Rock by Z.Vex and the Pitchfork Octaver (in Nano size so it has less of a pedalboard footprint) by EHX

...and this incredible vintage Traynor stack. I believe it was a Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master Mark II, with an accompanying 6x10 cab. Beastly.
