Zeke Clark, Edward Van
Halen's longtime reknowned guitar tech recently got one of these and
this is what he had to say:
"I've played tons of pedals that
promised that 'brown sound'... this pedal NAILS it better
than anything I've ever heard or played."
-Zeke Clark, former tech for Eddie Van Halen
Sometimes you need extreme gain,
sometimes you need mild overdrive...this pedal does that with an
awesome "brown sound"! It has an extremely tweakable eq - from
scooped mids to tons of warm mids, all with the turn of 2 knobs.
*EACH pedal is built to order at
the time of purchase. Current lead time is about 4 weeks
*The Pinnacle 2 pedal is now also called just "The
Pinnacle", same circuit, new looks!

This pedal has 4 knobs -- two
separate tone controls that act as a sort of parametric EQ, gain and
volume. It also has a 'bright' switch that adds a ton of variety and
is very handy when playing a dark sounding amp. It is completely
true bypass, of course, and includes a 9v "boss style"
power jack and battery connection..
Customer email
I received The Pinnacle pedal about 3 days ago in the mail, and first I want to give you a great big THANK YOU! Your very kind, honest, and helpful customer service is the best I have ever dealt with! You responded to every single e-mail I sent immediately, and answered all of my questions I had perfectly! The shipment of the pedal was quicker than I expected!
With that said, one would hope that the products you supply are up to the same standards... I have to say, that The Pinnacle is OUTSTANDING! It far surpasses my expectations! The tonal variety is very broad, and I don't think there is a sound that this thing is incapable of producing. I was simply amazed at the quality of the pedal both in its construction and sound capabilities. It does it all, and exceptionally well! I would vote this product the #1 pedal of the year if it were in a contest! You would have to buy a couple different amps and maybe a handful of different pedals to achieve everything that this pedal can do! From a bit of grit, to crunchy chord work, to heavy distortion, and even sounds similar to a fuzz pedal, this thing covers them all.
I tell you what, it is the best pedal I have ever come in contact with. It is my favorite pedal on my board! I'm thinkin' it'll be with me forever, and I'm going to ask to be buried with it when I die. I know sometimes people are sceptical about pedals when they first purchase them, and it may take weeks to get used to it, but if I am already this "in love" with it, I can only imagine what kind of relationship The Pinnacle and I will have in the future.

Here are a couple of soundclips.
Please notice that I use regular, 'average' tube amps for my
soundclips. In this case a peavey classic 50. Many builders will
give you distortion soundclips through a Marshall amp with a
greenback loaded 4x12 cabinet... OF COURSE that will sound like a
marshall, no matter what pedal!
