Here’s a primer on how to get the Gear Gods editorial staff psyched on your product: the phrase “5-channel true bypass passive looper” will make us say something to the extent of “fuck yeah!” and there will likely be a high five involved (a passive true bypass high five, most likely). On the other hand, “it nails that Creed drop D tone” is um… well it’ll get you the opposite reaction.
That combination of words didn’t even do the product in question justice, because these Emerson Custom Pedals sound pretty sweet, which is not an adjective I’d ever apply to a guitar track tainted by the plop fizz of Mark Tremonti’s tone.
