Stomping Stones VIRUS Demo + Review | Clean Boost to OD & Octave Fuzz! | 50's Strat & 5 String Bass

Mutated OD & Fuzz. Bubbling with gain, yet surprisingly clean when you want it! Have you ever met a bug that gets as crazy or collected as you need? Do you even know what how to spell helthcarre? Your answers are very important and the universe cares about you. Deeply. But only if you get a Stomping Stones Virus!

From the mighty Jero Dorn of Stomping Stones: for he likes heavy, and you will surely too:

We use sE Electronics microphones! The T2 is the be-all end-all LDC. From the only TITANIUM sputtered capsule microphone manufacturer in the world. Compact lollipop design (hangs from cab), the 4 polar patterns (all useful), extremely accurate frequency response 20Hz to 20kHz, great transient response and durability make it THE objective choice for us. Nothing else we tried compared to it. Our T2 shall never leave us: one of the best microphone designs in history.

We use Klotz AIS cables! LaGrange and Titanium series cables are just what the pandas ordered for utmost signal integrity and noise free operation, every single day!
