We’re thrilled to let you know that this week on the Guitar Dads podcast, hosts Matt and Dave welcome guest Alex Guaraldi from CopperSound Pedals to talk about what’s new at the company, including the upcoming release of the Foxcatcher V2 overdrive pedal. If you’re into guitar effects, gear chat and a bit of fun, this one’s for you.
The Guitar Dads podcast is a show made by guitarists who are also dads, focused on gear, guitar culture and the music life from a dad’s point of view. It covers new gear, music news and the ups and downs of being a guitar-playing parent.
Alex Guaraldi, founder of CopperSound Pedals, joins Matt and Dave to give an update on the company and dig into the new Foxcatcher V2. He chats about how the pedal was developed and even puts the hosts to the test with a fun quiz segment. (Yes – knobs, switches, maybe elbows, and more.) You can listen to the episode for all the details.
CopperSound Pedals is a boutique pedal maker based in Massachusetts, founded in 2014. They offer both finished pedals and DIY kits, and have worked with artists such as Jack White (on the Triplegraph pedal) among others. They’re known for designing pedals that give guitarists flexible tone options and creative possibilities. (And yes, they mean business when it comes to tone.)
The Foxcatcher V2 is the updated version of their Blues breaker style overdrive pedal. It gives you three gain settings (Low for clean boost/subtle grit; Medium for the classic overdrive crunch; High for more saturated lead tones) and a three way shape switch to control the low end response (fattens up or tightens the low end depending on your guitar and amp). It also features an expanded tone control for finer high end sparkle adjustment, SMART Bypass Technology (so you can switch between momentary and latching footswitch modes, with a failsafe bypass if power is lost) and flexible power options (9 V, 12 V or 18 V) so you can adjust headroom and dynamic character. These features mean the Foxcatcher V2 adapts easily from studio to stage, and from subtle warmth to aggressive lead tones.
We at FX Pedal Planet Online Store are excited to stock the CopperSound Pedals range to our online shelves. Keep an eye on our site because the Foxcatcher V2 will be available very soon. We’ll notify our customers and social media followers as soon as it’s live.
