Description
The Blessed Mother™ V2 births a classic OD sound with power from the Most High. Her supernatural combination of germanium and silicon diodes generates a uniquely raw, yet velvety tone. She features an adjustable transparency function: The Immaculator. This lets you preserve or purify the sound's original grit to your liking.
She plays well with others, is true bypass, and has a powerful treble and bass control range. Makes a splendid first stage OD or clean boost. Takes 9v or 18v DC. And yes, halo stays lit while heart lights up when pedal is engaged. …Cuz God’s mom deserves it.

A fuzz-blend edition released in a limited quantity of 125 for Mother's Day. It was sold and promoted via Reverb.com.
This limited edition version, the Blessed Mother: Fuzz Assumption, is likewise made with both silicon and germanium diodes and features the same basic control face as the OG pedal. However, the Immaculator control has been swapped for a "Hyperduliator" control, so instead of adjusting transparency, this knob functions as a fuzz/drive blend control. The pedal also comes in a custom enclosure that features the Blessed Mother signature artwork with some colorful touches.
A limited finish sold via Reverb.com.
Back at it! The Rosa Mystica limited edition of The Blessed Mother keeps all the acclaimed sounds of the original (see description below), while adding a vibrant enclosure that really pops on your pedalboard. It's the perfect opportunity to pick one up for the first time, buy a second to stack, or gift to a special someone.
