The song “Rare Birds” is interesting in that we kept my garage-band solo, improvised first take in Joshua Tree, then dropped that into the new full-band recording and re-amped the gnarly fuzz that started as my GVCG Tele into a Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz.

I also collect Tone Benders, and there are quite a few of those on it, quite a bit of Catalinbread Ecorec, and my Mu-tron.

I first got my Mu-Tron Micro V just to try out and I kept it,” he recalls. “I still use that for the vocal sound it gives me, I like that because it sharpens the melodic connections. Same thing when I use the talkbox. The Mu-Tron is an extension of that.” Despite the Garcia associations, his love of the Mu-Tron didn’t come from Jerry, though he does describe himself as a bit of an acolyte. “Yeah for sure,” he explains. “But not at the time I got the Mu-Tron, which was a long time ago. Since then I really discovered him and the Dead, and have done stuff with GD members. But Jerry was a luminary to me.”

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.

The fuzz on “Trafalgar Square” is an old Mosrite Fuzzrite and the ’57 Les Paul Junior with the Tone all the way down.
