"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." :)
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.
Hi sean,
great to talk to you today. i have heard so much great stuff about
your pedals, it's nice to know there is a passionate guy behind them.
i'd love to get a magicboy vibe pedal. thanks for making great stuff!!
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-
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.
sean,
i accidentally played an eternity pedal through the (not particularly) clean channel of my vht pittbull45;
holy flippin' wow, dude!
sounded amazing..... gorgeous apocalyptic meltdown tones:
*right* up my alley!
Shawn I am loving that new Karl Fuzz I really dig the octave univibe tone in it as well as the ring modulation what an awesome pedal! It's just like you described it but better! God Bless Faze
Hi Sean, I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying the 200 lbs Fuzz. In fact, yesterday, I took it out of my gig bag in the trunk and let it ride in the passenger seat of my car-it's weird, I know, but it felt right... :)
