Slomosa pedal effects challenge.

Can you share what pics you do have of Benjamin's board, to get us started?

I Googled around for live shots at this guy's feet. Didn't find much.

Post the Instagram as a link. You should be able to copy and past it even from the mobile site. Put some text in brackets [ ] and the link in parentheses ( ) like so . Or download the photo and post it to here

Some alternates:

The green pedal at the end is a Boss RE-20

But that big black pedal in the middle is a mystery. With the 3 switches a the red band in the middle, it screams Eventide PitchFactor, Space, or Blackhole, but it's not any of those, because the knob config is way off.

I looked through the new and discontinued products of:

• Walrus Audio
• EarthQuaker Devices
• Meris
• Strymon
• Collision Devices (the Black Hole Symmetry is sooo close, but no)
• Source Audio
• ... and several others, but no match.

My current guess (and it's a very wild and random guess) is that it could be a clone of the Earthquaker Sunn O))) Life pedal that Benjamin either built themselves from the online schematics and kits available, or bought from one of the many boutique clone makers on Etsy or Reverb. A "real" v3 Life pedal is nearly $600 at retail in Norway, so there is a strong incentive to buy a clone made in-country (or within the EU at least) to save a ton of cash.

...but, I mean, if I was gonna make good on my threats to get back into guitar and start a high desert stoner rock band, a cheap clone of that life pedal wouldn't be a terrible idea.

(this is where Jim will chime in and school me with 2 dozen superior ways to sound like Kyuss)

...but yeah man, this is a good challenge. Legit mystery pedal on our hands.

The slim orange pedal is likely an MXR Phase 95, right? I mean, it's got the shape and the 1 knob, but so grainy.

that's indeed a phase 95, the big one is a multi fx box or a boutique delay/modulation, note the expressionn pedal attached...

Phil-E, are you from Philly?

I will talk to the Admins about fast-tracking the Add Artist request (no promises), IF you'll go on social media and ask Ben what the pedal is. They are not so huge that they can't be reached in the comments or via DM. I see them answering questions.

Re: adding Ben and Tor as Artists, It's odd, I've never seen artists with this much career traction/notoriety/buzz not be pre-approved by the database EB uses for vetting. They've broken 1M streams on at least one track...

Well I am so i can speak for Philadelphia... we like your user name.

Thats pretty weird. A million is a lot of spins (I refuse to say streams) these days. Maybe it just needs a few more days to catch up? @Michael !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slomosa, the band, is in the MuiscBrainz database, but the members aren't also in the database... which is very unusual. I blame their label.

I asked Ben what it is on insta.

I’m about to put in a request for Tor’s board which only has one pedal I’m not sure of.

Excellent.

I asked to Admins about getting the whole band into the EB database. They are busy men, but perhaps we will get lucky.

It's always the label. Unless its management...
