In the new promo video, titled simply “…”, EQD’s Jamie Stillman, whose phone number is apparently “666”, receives a call from the ever-talkative Boris guitarist Wata, who proceeds to communicate the ideal guitar tone using several Matamp and Orange amplifiers.

Stillman takes some notes, and presents the camera – briefly – with the resulting circuit schematic as he slaps it down next to a pedal-building workstation.

Given what’s played to Stillman over the phone, it’s not unreasonable to assume that the upcoming pedal is an amp-style overdrive, based on the thunderous sound of Wata’s signature towering stacks of Orange cabinets.

Check out the short teaser below.
