C.R.E.A.M. EQ
A throwback small run of a killer from years back during my days of designing the products for TMD. The Crust Rules Everything Around Me (C.R.E.A.M. EQ) is a destructive HM2-style chainsaw grind machine with simple yet powerful controls.
Recently, I have had a bunch of people still rocking this pedal reach out stating that it their "always on" and "never left my pedalboard" and asking if there would ever be a THE version. Way back during my TMD days, I actually had a new version planned that gave control of the asymmetrical hard clipping via an additional knob labeled CLIP so I decided to bring it back in small runs.
Why small runs? Well ultimately there are already a lot of players out there making killer chainsaw gear, such as AIB and Dunn, so I really don't feel the need to maintain this additional build in stock or regular runs.
2024-02-22 - v5.0 - modified sweep of knobs for easier control. added DIP switches for hard clipping. added DIP switches to change input bandwidth (low end)
