Hi all and Happy 2022!

New batch available!

The BAD94 is my signature distortion pedal based on the 90s classic Marshall Shredmaster with important tweaks. The bigger version was released June 2021 and due to public demand for smaller footprint and lower price, I'm releasing the BAD94 as a MINI pedal. Still BEEFY-Still DIRTY- Now MINI.

First batch of the BAD94 Mini is now available on my web store for the US/Canada and other International destinations. In the Philippines and Singapore, the BAD94 Mini is now available through Guitar Pusher, GC Rockboard, 96GuitarStudio and  Shopee Very limited stock on hand so get yours now!

The original BAD94 is still available at GuitarPusher.com | GWNN.info in very limited numbers (2-3 units each)

More exciting news soon so stay tuned! 

The BAD94 is  captures the sound and feel of my early career guitar solo tones. 

The BAD94 builds on the structure of my early 90s shredded meister pedal of choice, but updated with modern appointments such as top-mounted jacks, true bypass switching and pedalboard-friendly form factor. 

While the BAD94 shares the same controls (Vol, Gain, Bass, Contour, Treble) as the pedal it’s based on,  improvement tweaks like an extended treble end and a more musical gain range from big warm pushed Bluesiness to thick roaring Rock and Alternative Crunch to Singing Liquid Sustain makes it applicable to different musical situations and as versatile as the BAD94 signature namesake. These controls will allow you to adapt the BAD94 to any guitar and any amp and retain the core tone. 

Specs 

• Wide gain range from pushed breakup to thick crunch to liquid leads 
• Volume, Gain, Bass, Treble and Contour controls 
• True Bypass Switching 
• CENTER-NEGATIVE 9vDC (internal 9v battery terminal available) 
• PROUDLY Built in Philippines
