CROM is a BC184 Supa Tone Bender style fuzzstortion like our original
Olympia™, but with a classic tweed amp style tone control (MOUNTAIN)
that interacts with the SWORD (gain) control. It is a LOT less lossy and
less scooped than the classic M*ff style tone control in these
circuits, giving the pedal an immediate and punchy response. A TURBO
button on the side gives it extra power and gain.
For years we have had players ask us if our pedals are appropriate for use in praise and worship settings. We have considered such a question blasphemous, as Crom is an angry deity who lives inside a mountaintop, who doesn’t concern himself with the matters of mere mortals, and cannot be bothered to hear their pleas for help, their prayers for vengeance, or anything that might resemble a song of praise or devotion. Crom cares not for such trifles! What Crom has blessed you with is abundant strength to turn the wheel of pain, the free will to decide what is good in life, and the power to destroy your enemies!
Crom doesn’t grant wishes. He has been merely disturbed from his slumber long enough to bequeath this medieval device upon those who may choose to use it. Under the proper foot, its blade can cut down the tree of woe. Tuned properly, it is powerful enough to smite a giant former Hall of Fame NBA player moonlighting as an actor. Maintained well, it is sturdy enough to defend the screaming princess who looks a lot like Kevin’s big sister from The Wonder Years. Grant me this wish Crom, and if not, then...to hell with you!
(editor’s note: it’s a BC184 Supa Tone B**der style fuzzstortion like our OG Olympia with a tweed amp style tone control that is less lossy than the classic BMP tone stack)
