“Joel Korte [Founder, Chase Bliss Audio] and I have collaborated on a pedal together – as a result of both of us being in The Pedal Movie,” shared Zachery Vex, founder of Zvex Effects. “We worked together for many years at Zvex effects; designing pedals.”
Korte, who spent an early portion of his career at at Zvex, added: “Working at Zvex was the reason I fell in love with guitar pedals. And I’ve actually been thinking about this design for years, I’ve really wanted to make this for some time.”
The post from also hinted that an official announcement will drop tomorrow (10 November). Take a look below.
