Here is yet another art-meets-sonic-art from the house of Gugu Flux. The Lovely Lion is powered by an "NOS Germanium Tranny..." that does indeed impart some very royal sounding distortion. You get two modes of rock-tone goodness thanks to the Royal Switch (toggle) which ups the gain density considerably. And how many distortion pedals do you know of that feature faux fur? Not many, I'll bet. This pedal looks unique (and every pedal from the Gugu workshop is unique as they are all handmade, painted and stamped) and sounds killer. Royal Roar indeed.
