“They’re a really cool company because they will make whatever you want. Mine has a little tuner output. And it’s got an A and a B [for two amps] but then you can combine the C, because I have a second Matchless that I’ve used on a couple of songs. You couldn’t buy that, but they’ll make these great pedals for you.”

“I use a lot of delay, I love delay. It’s my fascination with the Edge where I got that I guess. None of the other guys really use that, so it’s a thing that I can do. It’s just a few songs where I can incorporate a rhythmic, timed delay. I like the modelled tape sound that it has, so it’s a little softer sounding. The ergonomics are really good and the pedals are really easy to tap.”

"I just received an interesting message from one of my favorite builders out there – Johnny Balmer of Alchemy Audio in Chicago, IL. Johnny recently had a cool visitor stop by at the shop – David Bryson of Counting Crows. David swung by to pick up a pair of Alchemy Audio modified Boss GE-7 EQ pedals."
