Custom Willys Distortion Pedal by EJC Custom Pedals and Guitarworks —Demo Video
Below, check out a video demo for a new custom distortion pedal built by EJC Custom Pedals and Guitarworks.
The pedal, which was built for guitarist Ron Zabrocki (who writes the Session Guitar column for GuitarWorld.com), resembles a vintage, Forties-era Willys automobile. (Learn more about Willys here.)
The pedal was hand wired with a three-way voicing switch that changes the characteristics of the distortion. The guitar used in the demo video is a Fender Lone Star Strat through a Fender Blues Jr. amp.
