You thought the scary times had passed! Think again! I’m one full day late with the yearly Halloween Special, and delays are hella scary… unless it’s from a delay pedal of course.
But here’s your chance to prolong the enveloping escapism that Halloween so beautifully provides, with the most grand and epic The Pedal Zone tale yet, and some of the most frightening pedal combos in existence. Enjoy, my children of the tone.

Oh my GOUL, it's great to be back with another Halloween Special. A day late, but unforeseen delays can be pretty scary as well. This one contains my most epic TPZ horror tale yet. I hope you want to watch it. But if you just want to go directly to the scary pedal combos, then just follow the chapter sections. They'll take you there 😈 I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I did making it. If you find yourself enjoying these soul-shredding sounds, then remember you can get all of these pedals over at thepedalzone.com/ (EU Only). You can also find the T-Shirt that I got made for last year's Halloween Special alongside a bunch of other TPZ merch over at thepedalzone.creator-spring.com/? (Worldwide). Thanks for your constant support. These videos wouldn't be possible without you and our common passion for sinister soundscapes ❤

For the one I think is the most difficult to wield well, in my opinion, I’d say the win goes to the BL-44 > screen violence. There is so much that can be done, and that’s just more chances to get it out of control, but you made it sound purposeful. I’d say the equal second not by too far from the first is the Fidel > mercX and the disorder > DT. These fuzz+filter pedal combos are freeeking radical fun. I must say bit crushing delayed is a player too … . I guess all bro. 😂
