In an interview with PureSalem Guitars, Christian Savill of Slowdive discusses using the Mr. Black Gilamondo phaser.

“My first-ever pedal was an Ibanez CSL Chorus given to me by a kid in a metal band on my street who couldn't find a use for it. Then, I bought a reverb unit from another metal guitarist that sat on my amp“

At the link is a photo of Christian Savill holding his Emmergy FX Slowdriver pedal.

Both Christian and Neil have been using the Slowdriver during their 2023/24 performances.
