Machine Gun Repeat
The Fret-Ware Machine Gun Repeat is a one-of-a-kind guitar effect that delivers an unmistakable, pulse-pounding sound. Designed and handcrafted by the legendary Don Audio in Leeds, England, this pedal has a rich history - it was even custom-ordered by none other than John Squire of The Stone Roses, who used it extensively in live performances and on the band's 1997 album "Do It Yourself." At its core, the Machine Gun Repeat is a sophisticated tremolo effect, but with a twist. Unlike a traditional tremolo that simply pulses the volume, this pedal features a unique "mark-space ratio" that creates a more severe, staccato-like chopping of the sound. Crank up the speed knob, and you'll be rewarded with a relentless, machine gun-esque barrage of notes that's perfect for adding grit and aggression to your playing. But the real magic happens when you pair the Machine Gun Repeat with a good distortion pedal. The interaction between the two creates a mesmerizing web of harmonics and overtones, transforming your guitar into a dynamic, ever-evolving sonic force. Arpeggios take on a banjo-like quality, while full chords become a swirling, chaotic maelstrom. Ruggedly built to withstand spills and abuse, this pedal is a true workhorse. With its simple, intuitive controls and unique sonic character, the Fret-Ware Machine Gun Repeat is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to add an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind element to their tone.
