Introducing The Groomsman distortion pedal!

I decided to build some pedals for my best friends who I used to play in a band with (and lived in a house with, and remain in a group chat with, etc) as a means of asking them to be my groomsmen for my wedding this October.

If you don't feel like watching the 10 minute demo/user manual I created, this pedal is the Aion Aphelion, which is their MXR Distortion +. Their circuit is modded to include clipping options and treble cut selections. I personally love the LED clipping in this circuit.

Very cool of you to do that!

Very cool. I just got my groomsman a leatherman and a hangover

Congratulations, I hope the wedding and marriage is more enjoyable than using a Dist+

Awesome idea! Congrats on your marriage! Great pedals BTW!

I got a generic box of golfing tees and some nasty grape-flavored popcorn (chosen because it fit the wedding aesthetic) from a groom that was in a locally famous band.

A custom pedal would have been nice, but at least he still calls from time to time trying to recruit me for whichever pyramid scheme he’s doing!

Great idea and execution!

That's so much cooler than what I've experienced. I was once given a tie to go with the blue suit I was forced to purchase. Before that wedding I only owned one suit in a barely darker blue. I got hosed.

My brother got us a fancy barbershop hot shave the morning of his. That was pretty nice but it was super weird letting a stranger put a razor to my neck.

Also, congrats!

No hookers ’n blow, no wedding party happiness. It’s The Law.
