Welcome to my first ever GEAR DEMO VIDEO.
I had my friend Jordan in the studio a few weeks ago to help Re and I show you this brand new distortion pedal that was created by German producer Kristian Kohle and German boutique pedal manufacturer KLIRRTON.
We make 5 different tones, show you how we are getting our tones, and then let you hear them without any additional processing. then to end the video off we let you hear all the tones with some eq and compression to really let you hear what this pedal can do.
Wanna get that tone? Head over to the Klirrton shop!
This pedal kicks some serious ass. Go check yours right now!

When bands are able to get out and play music again there is going to be something at you all need to keep in mind. Their eyes are going to be on you. No matter what, if there are 10 people there, there will always be one set of eyes on you at any point in time. This is only one of the many reasons as to why it is key to be sure that you are not only practicing your music, but also practicing your performance. Don't let the audience down, you are there to entertain.
