As a pedal designer and manufacturer, the color of a pedal has always been extremely important to me. There is an undeniable link between how a pedal sounds and what color we think it should be.

Do you have the strength to do it? Okay, that got really dramatic really quickly. Let’s put things in perspective here. This isn’t life or death, but it is pretty dang important.
