... and now the Snow Dog...

Apparently it's getting on the FOMO / limited edition bandwagon with a edition of 500 pedals...

Let the fray begin with SNOW DOG! - Alex Lifeson

Square for battle! With this latest creation, Lerxst revisits the early part of Alex’s tone journey when he was a […]

Chili Dog is much more fitting for this one...

We need to talk.... this is awkward.

Suspicious marketing tactics aside, man, the Fuzz -> Octave is so much fun.

I got mine with Custom Knobs, I like it with the Black knobs! :

I resisted the temptation to buy one, and I'm just going to build.... being a Rush fan I (of course) "have an idea..."

Look closely at the shadows in my picture & the one Robert posted!???
Even the sides of the knobs look eerily similar!
