The Blessed Mother

Wonderful pedal- great sound- great craftsmanship!

So I'll be honest...I was a little hesitant to get this pedal because I thought it would have too much overlap with some other things I have. I have a Notaklön that I really dig, and thought I'd get the Blessed Mother to compare and then pick one to sell. Well...I'm keeping both. I use a Morning Glory as a a first stage OD, and the Blessed Mother stacked onto it is unreal. I tried really hard to get the same tones from the Notaklön and Blessed Mother, and while I got them kind of close, there's a big enough difference in what each pedal does that I'll keep them both in the chain.

The Immaculator took me some time to get used to...I think dialing in the suggested settings printed on the box is a good way to kind of learn how the pedal works. I was getting some decent sounds just kind of guessing at first, but nothing that really spoke to me. As soon as I started using the suggested settings, it kind of clicked how all the controls work together. Such a cool pedal that has a lot of nuance and versatility.

I took the backplate off to see Heather's initials and the date, and I was BLOWN AWAY at how good the build quality of the pedal is on the inside. Heather is a master of her craft...I'm hopeful that if she puts out another effect it is one I don't already have.

Finally...it's the coolest looking pedal I own. I love the cream color and the design of Mary. The always on halo and the Immaculate Heart of Mary lighting up are just too cool. Love love love.

There’s already been many nice technical reviews here, but for me it just comes down to sound, functionality & aesthetics. In this case the Blessed Mother has them all - in spades.

I’m a retired pastor, just a home player now, but this pedal is the very most favorite OD pedal in my entire collection. (A collection of over 500 pedals, with a lot of them being top tier dirt boxes.) You, too, will be “blessed” should you add it to your collection!

And as for the “Selling Christianity” complaint by one reviewer? Come on. That’s just ridiculous. There’s dozens & dozens of pedals expressing imagery of various faiths out there, and a disproportionate amount of them being odes to the devil, so that ship just won’t sail. By any name the Blessed Mother is just a beautiful piece of work, utterly gorgeous in every way, I cannot even imagine a person not loving it. Buy one, become “immaculated” (a killer feature on this pedal), and share with your friends.

Thank you SO MUCH, Heather..!!

I bought it for Billy Walton of the Billy Walton band, one gig it is now permanently on his pedal board

The pedal was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I love this pedal and it sounds and works great with every other pedal I use. This pedal will always find a spot on any of my pedalboards
