Jonathan Wilson's Standard Edition Blue Canyon Climber (or Limited Edition Pink Canyon Climber) Companion Fuzz w/ Boost.

Jext Telez ripped apart Jonathan Wilson's Companion Fuzz. He was pissed but he didn't press charges. Instead the judge ordered that Jext Telez do an exact version of the pedal- nail the original AND add a switch that boosts the output many times and flattens out the response of the original while adding unreal sustain. Both parties were well satisfied and retired deep into the Canyon to commiserate.

So here it is. The Jext Telez Jonathan Wilson's Canyon Climber fuzz pedal. Take Jonathan's original Companion that has already appeared on countless amazing records. A stunning example of the greatness of the Companion, played on records by Father John Misty, Roger Waters, Jonathan Wilson and many others by Jonathan.

Then fix the shortcomings and add those to the pedal in a switch which changes modes from the original to a newly third transistorized version-- boosted way the hell up in volume, flatten out them freq's a bit, not too much, and add sustain for days and long canyon nights.

You will be stunned by the same classic vibes that appeared on countless spaghetti western themes, and made the landscape of artists from Radiohead and the Black Keys to The Jesus and Mary Chain-- only now with improvements requested and dialed in by Jonathan Wilson. This is an instant classic and the Wilson designed artwork is as stunning as the tones. Done in a rich 8 layered Silk Screen, this is the pedal of your longing.
