Texas black metal band Necrofier has teamed up with Idiot Box Effects for their very own signature Echo Drive pedal.
“The new Echo Drive is a collaboration between me and the KILLER black metal band Necrofier”, said Atarimatt, who’s been making effects and noiseboxes full time under the name IdiotBox since 2011. “Plug this sucker in and bring on TOTAL SOUTHERN DARKNESS!!!”
The Necrofier Echo drive is a tube screamer-style overdrive pedal. It runs into two separate echo circuits. The left switch is for echoes, while the right switch does overdrive. Each knob is named after something in Necrofier’s wheelhouse, which is to say all the black metal terminology you know and love: Reflection (echo 1), Chaos (echo 2), Alchemy (echo signal mix), Flame (overdrive volume), Strike (overdrive intensity) and Darkness (tone).
“We are blessed to announce this unholy alliance with Idiot Box effects”, says Necrofier frontman Christian “Bakka” Larson. “The grit of the overdrive and the space of the echo helps create a dark and menacing effect”.
A limited run of first-edition, autographed Necrofier Echo Drive pedals are available on Bandcamp while supplies last.
