QRD – If you had a signature pedal, what would it be & what would some of its features be?

Chris – Martin Cooper - an amazing gear boffin who runs Coopersonic - built me one for Kogumaza that I suppose is the closest to a “signature” pedal. It’s a type of delay that takes a weird glitch in the particular pedal it’s based on & then controls it with a wah-wah type pedal that’s attached. We call it The Cosmonaut. If it breaks I’m kind of screwed though. That or a Green Russian Big Muff with the tone control taped to zero & Jimi Hendrix painted on it.

(…) As for pedals, I know folks with hundreds of fuzz & distortion pedals, but I’ve had a Sovtek Green Big Muff & a Fulltone FD2 forever & I’ve never found anything to beat them. I have lots of pedals, but I’m pretty unfussy about them, it seems easy to get so into pedals that you forget to make music sometimes, so as long as they work & are reliable I’m happy.
