Roger Miller

Roger Miller uses the Vacu-Fuzz Custom Fuzz Pedal, a highly modified version of the Big Muff Pi. This pedal was crafted by Lou Giordano, an MIT alumnus and noted producer, who enhanced every component to create a robust and versatile fuzz effect. The modification reflects Giordano's engineering expertise and Miller's specific sound requirements, resulting in a pedal that delivers smooth tones with the capability for exquisite feedback. This information is detailed on the Mission of Burma website.

Roger Miller discusses his use of the Vacu-Trem Custom Tremolo Pedal in his work with Mission of Burma. Initially relying on the built-in tremolo of his Peavey amplifier, he transitioned to a custom tremolo unit designed by Lou Giordano after switching to a Marshall amp, which lacked this feature. Miller highlights how the pedal's parameters, speed and intensity, were crucial for songs like "Trem II" and possibly "Sing Along," producing unique effects like a strong on/off pulse. In the early 1990s, Bob Weston further modified the unit to include a foot pedal for speed control, enhancing its studio potential. This information is detailed on the Mission of Burma website.
