According to this video, Scott Holiday says,"They came to all of our concerts in Poland and presented me with one off pedals. This one is called Go Ahead Mr. Fuzz Lord with a trumpet on it because the name is inpired by the song Go Ahead John by Miles Davis which features John McLaughlin playing a fuzz pedal which sounds kinda like Bumblebee Hornish which I am in love with." Under this pedal there is also an engraving of Scott Holiday with the date of when this pedal was presented to him.
