Brad Whitford's Gear
"I left a present for Brad, our new King Of Tone pedal, and Greg told me he used it at their next gig at Madison Square Garden:
All I can say is he really likes it, and has been using it on almost every song!!! I noticed him using the yellow channel for rhythm and red for lead on the same song...
We hope to have some available for sale very soon!"
