Introducing handmade pedalboards to the Home of Tone with Marcus D'luxe!

I have been friends with Marcus for some time thanks to the great guitar community, and I am an owner of two of his awesome pedalboards. I love them, So we have decided to offer some here at the Home of Tone! All handmade by Marcus, also by using as many recycled and off-cut materials as he can to reduce waste, these boards are an incredibly solid, affordable and quality alternative to some of the mass produced options on the market.

The Yellowcake lida machine - The most beautiful and informative demo you'll hear

The Yellowcake lida machine - The most beautiful and informative demo you'll hear

I often get asked about Yellowcakes' Lida Machine. And rightly so, not many will have come across a resonant filter pedal, nor fancy takling a pedal with that many knobs. But believe me, if you love creating unique sounds, it's worth delving into. 
I respond with the best collection of words I can string together into a sentence, but this beautiful demo released by 'Knobs' on YouTube, is quite possibly the most informative, simple and beautiful demo videos physically possible of this intriguing pedal.
If you want to know about the lida machine, this will fulfill your needs!
