From The Desk Of Diamond Rugs: Ibanez Tone Lok Pedals

As was the case with Diamond Rugs’ 2012 self-titled debut record, much of the band’s sophomore album, Cosmetics, formed and grew in the studio. That’s an impressive feat, considering that Diamond Rugs is something of a weekender project for members of no fewer than five bands, all of whom keep moderate-to-ridiculous recording and touring schedules anyway: John McCauley and Robbie Crowell (both Deer Tick), Ian St. Pé (Black Lips), T. Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate), Bryan Dufresne (Six Finger Satellite) and the legendary Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Blasters and about six dozen other outfits). The boys in the band will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our recent feature on them.

St. Pe: These pedals came out in the late ‘90s/early 2000s and were plugged by rap/rock bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit. They eventually found their way to the used guitar stores for way cheap. But, oh boy, do these sound good. A.K.A., I love them.
