    It will be very soon.

    What a pedal. It can sound like the original Big Muff Pi but it can be edited for unique and powerful new distortions. The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker has a breathing and open tone. That is what I love… the real variability for new sounds that still have the Big Muff Pi attitude. With the setting where the tone control is removed, it has such a heavy crunch. When you dial back it keeps the crunch but it is the kind that fits any style.

    Again, it will be available very soon.

    There is a major reason that the Stereo Clone theory is so popular. It is the warmth of the sound.
    It is also a pure analog instrument. This is not to say that an analog design is better than a digital design. Analog instruments inherently have noise due to component design. It comes with the territory.
    Yet, Analog instruments , without a doubt, have an organic warmth with color characteristics that are unobtainable in the digital domain.

    The Stereo Clone theory uses high quality bucket brigade chips. The same ones that we use in the Deluxe Memory Man and many of our time based analog effects. The noise comes with the territory.

    If you need an excellent sounding stereo chorus then the Stereo Clone Theory fits the bill. If you need a quiet stereo chorus then you trade off the warmth and personality that the Stereo Clone Theory
    presents.
