Super Cool Pedal Alert - Pigtronix Aria Disnortion

I was at the NY Amp show and had a blast. I have known David Koltai the founder of Pigtronix for years and love stopping in his room to hang. This year as I plugged in to the Pigtronix setup I was floored by the Aria Disnortion pedal. Man this thing sounds great. It can get that Eric Johnson violin like sound which is great to find in a pedal. It also reacts well to my playing and is a whole lot of fun to play. A definite keeper. Here is video of me messing around with the pedal through a Fender Pro Junior. This is some of the tones the pedal can get but I was having too much fun ripping on it!

I am offering on-line lessons via Skype for any one who would like to work together and doesn't live in the NYC area. I currently have students from California to England. Skype is a free service and all you need is a web cam. I send all lesson information as a pdf or mp3. It is all very cool and high tech and very convenient. I am really enjoying this format as are a number of my students. Please contact me if you wish to discuss working together.
