Guitar Player Magazine Sept. 2007~

"While I was geeking over Andy Summers The Police custom stage rig during my interview with him for GP¹s June 2007 cover story, I noticed a stompbox I had never seen before, the Lovepedal Eternity Overdrive.

"That¹s an amazing distortion pedal," enthused the Police¹s harmonic overlord. "You must try one."

Summers put me in touch with Sean Michael, who makes these boutique beauties by hand in his White Lake, Michigan shop, and, within a week, I had an Eternity sitting on my desk at GP Central. It was a great day.

The most mind-blowing aspect of the Eternity is that its organic, tube-like overdrive can be simultaneously warm, sexy, aggressive, punchy, articulate, creamy, and nasty. The previous sentence may sound slightly insane, but the pedal¹s sensitivity to picking dynamics lets you play its fundamentally awesome tone through as many moods as your fingers and/or plectrum can manage."

"Jimi Hendrix invented the Church of Tone. He had monster technique and soul to spare."

Jimi may have invented that particular house of worship, but Sean Michael of Lovepedal has gone a long way towards putting it in a box. No, he hasn’t developed a circuit for “monster technique” or “soul to spare” but, in the COT 50 “Church of Tone” pedal, he has aimed to capture the response of a late ‘60s plexi loaded with 6550 power tubes, and he’s succeeded admirably." :)

Sean,

I've got to tell you that this pedal is the most amazing octavia pedal I've tried, period. It made me write such an amazing riff for our next record. This pedal is just completely fantastic. What a great pedal.

Wow! These pedals are truly awesome man- I've been using them for an hour or so, and this Cot 50 is going to be insane with my Vox, the overdrive s very smooth and amp enhancing, that is EXACTLY what I was needing, the Vibe is icing on the cake, a killer effect- I will use them today in the studio and tonight with Chris Robinson-

You rock! Love these pedals man-

Hey Sean,

We got the pedals yesterday. Last night we tried out about 20 different overdrives with my rig. The Eternity Overdrive is the one. Very, very cool. The second we plugged it in, my tech and I looked at each other with huge grins on our faces. We were instantly knocked out and it only got better as we started dialing tones in. After about 10 overdrives, they all sort of begin to sound the same, but as soon as we plugged the Eternity in, we all looked at each other beaming. Heads and tails above everything else.

THanks man, you are a god amongst men!

Hi Sean,

Got the the COT 50 and it sounds great! THANKS SO MUCH! I'm gonna record with it next time I'm in the studio.

I saw Landau play the other night and he was using it - sounded awesome!

Thanks Sean -
