The Prizes

• TOP PRIZE: Shock The Fox "Collaboration" Guitar

  

  This is a one of one, literally one-of-a-kind bespoke handcrafted guitar by acclaimed luthier Tye Tyler (Shock The Fox) whose work has gained tremendous acclaim and enthusiastic owners.
  
  This gorgeous guitar is a one of a kind collaboration between Shock The Fox, Caroline Guitar Company, and Righteous Sound Pickups. It is valued at $6500.
  
  The LaHonda pickup is a combination of a staple coil and P-90 build by Righteous Sound. It has been specially wired for full power series humbucker operation, parallel coil operation, each coil individually, or out-of-phase between the coils. 
  
  Included in this guitar is the *VERY LAST* of the Cannonball Custom fuzzstortion circuits by Caroline Guitar Company. This circuit can go everywhere from mild boost and fuzzstortion to all out starved voltage mayhem, and then with the included "havoc" control, to create waves of (somewhat) controllable feedback. 

• Righteous Sound Pickup Set

  

  An absolutely gorgeous humbucker combination here, this is what Josh Spataro wound for our Novo Miris and it has been breathtaking. A RAF-2 unpotted, hand wired humbucker in the bridge, and a Galaxy wide range style humbucker for the neck. They balance and contrast beautifully.
  
  The RAF-2 has a fuller midrange and a little more output in comparison to the original RAF.  This Galaxy  features Cunife threaded magnets just like the originals, but in a standard humbucker size. Retail price $430.

• Alexander Pedals Forget-Me-Not.

  

  Forget-Me-Not is a digital echo unit based on a fairly rare piece of rack gear.  The original was designed as a reverberation unit but the implementation was a bit idiosyncratic, so the result ended up somewhere between reverb and delay.  We’ve leaned into the differences between this unique approach and a modern delay / reverb unit to create something that has one foot in each world. Retail price $399.

• Old Blood Noise "Black Fountain" Delay Pedal

  

  Black Fountain emulates the sound of an oil can delay: warm, modulated, and a little gritty. It’s perfect for chorusing, doubling, slapback, and long rhythmic delays alike. You choose the amount and rate of modulation, the tone and grit of the core voice, the two delay times and their feedback, and the mono/stereo voice of it all. 
  
  We've really enjoyed the additional "space" control that adds reverb to the individual repeats. You can definitely space out with this thing and have a blast playing. Retail price $299. 

• Electronic Audio Experiments "Etched Surveyor" Pedal

  

  A limited run version of their Surveyor, this is a compact re-interpretation of the Instrument Voicing Preamp (aka IVP), a cult classic and long discontinued rackmount preamplifier. The IVP is best known for its distinctively clangy tone and harsh attack at high treble settings—especially in conjunction with an aluminum neck guitar, single coil pickups, and full range speakers—but its unique solid-state voice transcends genre labels. The Surveyor features a unique, transformer-loaded “Tube Voice” distortion generator that is highly responsive to the frequency content of the input signal. This is achieved by placing a two-band shelving EQ before distortion is applied—the complete opposite of most drive pedals. Retail priced at $279.
  
  

Silktone Overdrive Plus Pedal.



The overdrive+ is an original circuit with a whole range of both familiar and unique tones - from low gain always-on tonal enhancer to ripping high gain lead machine. With a combination of JFETs, op-amps and a few diodes inside it really covers a lot of ground. The op-amp is used for gain and buffering and is raised to around 30 volts so it never clips, even when another pedal is stacked in front. All clipping is crafted from the JFETs or the diodes. Valued at $269. 

Non-Human Audio "Robins" Pedal



The Robins. The Robins is a distortion pedal designed to evoke the feeling of listening to your favorite heavy 90s alt rock records. Inspired by one in particular (the name and color are a hint).

We've had so much fun playing dirty riffs through this thing. Valued at $200.

MAE Trust Your Self Pedal



A very fun, very gnarly device with no knobs. Trust your playing dynamics, your volume and tone controls on your guitar, and your instincts. TRUST YOUR SELF. 

Caroline Guitar Co "Alpha Gain II" Pedal



Sparkly pink, infused with "maximum testostertone" the Alpha Gain II is capable of gentle boost or very assertive overdrive tones. Plus, its control layout is like...a rocket ship.

Features a similar circuit to our previously acclaimed "ALPHA GAIN" release, but with that control layout we're going to blame on our friends at Alexander pedals. Valued at $199.

Earthquaker Devices ZOAR.

A very gnarly crunchy and fun device in a fashionably different red colorway!
