Helping Friendly Box Drive and Compressor
Helping Friendly Box Drive and Compressor
It's been well-documented that Trey Anastasio's rig has typically included two 808-style overdrives and one OTA-based compressor. All 3 of those pedals are now inside one compact box so you can jam with fiery, saturated leads or tight compressed funk grooves without taking up precious pedalboard real estate to run 3 separate pedals. The Helping Friendly Box is the perfect solution for cooking up sounds that make you think, "boy, man," while bringing back memories of your phavorite shows. The Helping Friendly Book may contain all of the knowledge, but the Helping Friendly Box has your tone needs covered.
This pedal is true bypass and requires a Boss-style 9V center negative DC power source. None of our pedals accept internal batteries.
