Read MoreFuzz Wars: EHX Sovtek Big Muffs featuring Weezer's Scott Shriner

This shootout is as nerdy as it gets. It starts with three bass players (Weezer’s Scott Shriner, Jonathan Hischke and yours truly) in a room, talking about gear when they realize there are enough Sovtek fuzzes in their possesion to do a Fuzz Wars. High Fives ensue.

The Red Panda Particle is easily one of my favorite effect pedals ever; it’s a granular delay/pitch shifting pedal but also offers so much more. When Jonathan Hischke first brought over Josh Klinghoffer’s Particle, we plugged it in and spent about an hour playing through it and looking at each other in amazement. The way this pedal manipulates your instrument’s sound is simply beyond words.
