Love this! I dig me some tremolo.

Cool artwork, where does the lightsaber pop out?

Funny, there is one guy also asked me the same question on Instagram. He's asking the light saber holster. Deja Vu!

Very cool build.  This is one of my fave tremolo pedals to boot.

looks great, and it is my favorite trem pedal too.   the "starve" control didn't impress me at first because it is not the "old school" sound I had in mind, but it has turned out to be a fun tweak for the sound sometimes.
