Hello Everyone...

Jack White's Third Man Records does many things... they sell records, produce artists, and now they have produced 2 versions of a limited edition stompbox guitar effects pedal. For those of you unfamiliar with guitar terminology - all you do is step on a switch to turn on a distortion effect.

Most interesting is that the effect sounds distinctly like Jack White from the last four or five years. I'm sure the pedal was made to emulate his sound which was usually comprised with a combination of a few effect pedals. To promote them, White formed an impromptu jam band made up of Brendan Benson, Fats Kaplin, and Olivia Jean.

It's a quick blues jam, where everyone gets a turn on the distortion pedal (even the violinist!)
