Malekko Goatkeeper – 2-Stage Polyrhythmic Tremolo

We somehow missed the release of the Malekko Goatkeeper last year (probably because the company didn't send the pedal to any of the YouTubers we follow!) so we need to send a YUGE thank you to Dennis Kayzer for posting a video of it on his channel, because this is…Click on the title for more
