Whirlwind
“ I first brought these effects pedals to guitarists almost 40 years ago [Ed: under the brand name MXR]. They were the ones that started a revolution and no one has made them quite the same since … hand-wired, American made, built to last forever and with the exact same circuits and quality components."
-Michael Laiacona, President/Owner of Whirlwind since 1975
Michael has decided to recreate the pedals that got him started in the business in the first place by launching his “Rochester Series Pedals” which are handwired, American made replicas of the original pedals that still work night after night in the rigs of the greats like Keith, Eric, and Eddie. When asked if he would do anything differently? Michael simply replied,“Yes, I’d add an LED, direct bypass, and a 9 -Volt power input”, so we did. Whirlwind is proud to re-introduce the three coolest pedals on the planet. Now plug ‘em in, and make a little history of your own.
