With its early Pink Floyd-inspired name, the Blue Colander Astronomy Domine can't possibly be a regular pedal - and it's not. Not only does this effect blend a great-sounding spring reverb with a dirt circuit, but it also provides several coloring options to create tones ranging from the classic to out-there stuff only heard before in Syd Barret's head, including a momentary self-oscillation footswitch (Crash) whose speed can be tweaked via an internal trimmer....

The Carbon, a Bluesbreaker variant, was the pedal that put them on the map; the Carbon X, gives you that same gooodness, times two.... Click on the title for more
