Brand new, unused item. VEMURAM Butter Machine Distortion Effects Pedal Thank you. The "Butter Machine" was developed in collaboration with Michael Landau to create his ideal distortion pedal. Development began with numerous prototypes over two years. This is Michael Landau's signature distortion pedal, completed after repeated adjustments based on feedback from Michael Landau's actual use in the field. It was tested countless times in his live performances, sessions, and support work, as well as in numerous recording studios and his home studio in Los Angeles, leading to the implementation of new ideas and various improvements. As a result, a very usable distortion pedal was created, with a range from overdrive to distortion, without limiting its use. It is a new distortion pedal that allows for easy dynamics in the sound and control of picking nuances on the guitar side.
