Anyone going to NAMM?

Our guess is that the pedal models the tone from Armstrong’s “Pete” amp, a modified Marshall Plexi he used during the Dookie era and continues to play today.

In the post, he also hints at a potential NAMM appearance, asking who is going to the show. Definitely expect more from us if he does make a showing!
