The Week in Gear 99 is Sponsored by Radial Engineering - elkqr.link/radial-eng
Episode 99 is a love letter to stompbox fanatics. We are breaking down a historic collaboration between JHS and EHX that brings the never-before-released "Big Muff 2" to life. The surprises continue with the Fairfax, an analog drive from the digital wizards at Strymon designed to chase the "American Woman" tone. We also weigh in on the controversial pricing of the new Tom Morello signature model and check out a budget-friendly modeler that might actually replace your rig

Valtone GP50: A pocket-sized modeler with a surprising spec sheet, including stereo outs, MIDI, and a built-in battery for around 120 notes.
Fender "Arm The Homeless": A mass-produced replica of Tom Morello's famous parts-caster. Features a "hockey stick" headstock, EMG pickups, and a kill switch.
DOD Badder Monkey: Born from internet chaos, this upgraded Tube Screamer style pedal features "Bananas" and "Curiosity" knobs.
Behringer Meatball: A budget-friendly envelope filter based on the complicated Lovetone Meatball from the 90s.
Strymon Fairfax: A rare analog outing for Strymon, recreating the 40-volt boosted sound of the "American Woman" tone.
Crazy Tube Circuits Orama: A "vision" of heavy tones featuring an OR120 amp drive on one side and a Frantone Peach Fuzz on the other.
JHS x EHX Big Muff 2: Based on a 1979 schematic found in Bob Meyer's notebook, this is the "lost timeline" Big Muff featuring unique clipping and mids.
