About
Creative, stylish, beautifully well made, fun and here to stay! Caroline Guitar Company, out of Columbia, South Carolina USA have been putting out quality pedals for many years now and have certainly established themselves as one of the great 'boutique' pedal brands. I'm incredibly proud to add their work to my roster, and do my bit to represent them here in the UK.
The Hawaiian Pizza, 'sweet and savory' AKA, a mighty Fuzz/Distortion pedal at it's core.
What Caroline Guitar Co say...
"The sounds of the most luxurious five figure amplifiers, the most crystal of lettuce, the clipping of unobtainable diodes, harvesting harmonics so fragile they previously would only have survived within the most magical trove of new old stock vacuum tubes? Combine all that with the priceless feeling of the moment you realized your years on the special wait list were worth it and you have our HAWAIIAN PIZZA™: the sonic equivalent of a forbidden delicacy, all from just three knobs and the truth*. We discovered this circuit in the discarded manila file folders of our old multinational overlords, the Caroline Corporation, alongside all kinds of very 1970s corporate villainy and sci-fi plans for world domination. Your pedal was then dreamed, designed and created at our small batch distortery™ in Columbia, S.C. Thank you for supporting our work."
How to control it
Pizza Slice (output) - is the final output level. The more of the other controls, the less you’ll need of this. And vice versa.
Pinapple (Supply voltage) - Is the power supply to the amplifier circuit. Turn it up for max headroom, back it off for squishy compression, or way down for fun broken, gated, & octave-y sounds.
Piggy (Input) - controls your instrument’s feed to the transistor amplifier. Full on is full blast, dial it back for crunch.
On the inside of this pedal is a slide switch for a guitar pickup simulator. If you use this with other buffered effects, active pickups, or a wireless system, leave it ON. If you place this pedal first in your chain, you can turn it OFF.
