Episode 15: Hazel Effects – “The Germ”

It's no secret that I am a fan of Kickstarter. I find the
Kickstarter platform to be a great spring board for new ideas and
young businesses. About once a week I head to their site, type
"guitar" in the search bar, and then just explore. I am fascinated
by the amount of new twists and turns out their from guitars, to
guitar picks, to guitar pedals. A couple months back I discovered a
project called "The Germ". This project caught my attention because
it was a germanium fuzz pedal hybrid that is hand wired, once I
heard the demo I was sold. The project was successfully funded, and
at the time of this writing I am still waiting for my Germ. After
all, it's being built completely by hand one at a time. So while I
waited, I figured I would contact the builder, Caleb Cook, for an
interview. Once my pedal gets here I will post an episode with some
audio demos, in the mean time you can check out Caleb's Kickstarter
page and the Hazel Effects website for more details.
