In this interview with Music Radar, Marcus says of the Mini DejáVibe, “I honestly don’t know what it is about this pedal… I have just always really liked the sound of it. I always said to myself that I’d never have a proper pedalboard, but I was heading out on tour with Chris Robinson in our band, As The Crow Flies [playing Black Crowes songs], which needed a few different sounds and was why I built it. I had something like this in mind for The Black Crowes’ song Halfway To Everywhere - that needed a really good-vibe sound. So I got this one and ended up using it on my next record. Actually, I think I might kick it in at sporadic moments throughout the set.”
