Auckland Distortion

The Auckland is a cool looking distortion pedal. It can produce high gain sounds as well as smooth overdrive tones. Listen to my demo, where I use a Hagstrom Swede. I found this pedal sounded better with humbuckers than single coils.

12th Street Special Overdrive

This is a medium gain overdrive that I really like. It’s very smooth and simple, yet versatile. With the gain low, you can use it as a clean boost. You can also get nice crunch tone if you want, by turning up the gain.

Porter Blender Humbuckers

These pickups sound so good. Learn more about them on the Porter Pickups website.
