This week on Golden Age of Gear, Joey and Derek check out some of the most creative and unusual pedals we’ve ever come across — all hand-built by Pete’s Pedals.

What looks like vintage gear pulled from a basement? Actually brilliant pedal designs. We’re talking:
📞 A rotary phone turned dual overdrive & boost (with a real preamp tube!)
👽 A theremin fuzz that delivers sci-fi chaos and wild textures
⏱️ A multi-head tape delay housed in a vintage telephone — lush, vibey, and unlike anything else on your board

Unconventional enclosures aside, these pedals truly deliver. The overdrives are versatile and musical, the delay is gorgeous, and the theremin fuzz opens up an entirely new world of sounds.

Along the way we cover:
🎸 The magic of pedals built into non-traditional enclosures (phones, tuna cans, toy cars, and more)
🎸 Why Flipside Music in Denver might be the best shop in America for finding hidden gems
🎸 Which of Pete’s creations we’d actually gig with or record with
🎸 And why unique gear like this inspires us to play differently

👉 Let us know in the comments: Which one would you take home — the overdrive, the theremin fuzz, or the delay?
