ToneConcepts have just released a new distortion pedal called GOO ($289). It’s a limited edition with 250 units available for purchase. If you pre-order you will receive a sticker pack and a signed GOO certificate.
The GOO was developed in collaboration with Nels Cline, who’s best known as Wilco’s guitar hero. He wanted a pedal that combined the best characteristics of all his favorite stompboxes. It’s basically a high gain pedal that boasts sustain and the dynamic response of a tube amp.
The artwork and colors represent the jelly monster from the 1958 movie “The Blob”, and the glow-in-the-dark knobs do a great job of incorporating the sci-fi element. It ships in custom packaging inspired by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.
See the video demo.
ToneConepts have one other signature pedal called The Luke, developed in collaboration with session legend Steve Lukather.
