A record and a guitar pedal is a world-first.
Brother O Brother collaborated with Romanus Records and Audio Disruption Devices to release their new album ‘Skin Walker’ on a special vinyl release.
The vinyl records that will be included in the limited edition are said to be the thickest ever made and serve as a guitar pedal.
There is one function for delay and one for boost in the set. The controls for the pedal can be found in the center of the vinyl records.
Romanus Records explain in a video that the new creation has one boost and one delay pedal. They have their own unique A.D.D. pedals. The boost has two different channels of boost and the delay has four different delay combinations.
There are two pedals, one features the A side of theLP and the other the B side. Only 35 of these will be sold in the US. We want to be safe for v1 in regards to shipping, so we will do an international pedal release.

In the UK, vinyl record sales were at the highest they have been in 30 years, despite publicised issues.
More than five million vinyl records were sold in the UK last year, an 8 per cent increase on the previous year. It was the 14th year in a row that the format has increased sales, with vinyl making up 22% of all albums sold.
The biggest-selling vinyl album of the year was ABBA’s comeback record ‘Voyage’, which sold over one million copies.
LoveRecordStores, Record Store Day and National Album Day helped boost sales.
According to a report earlier this year, vinyl sales in the UK are set to surpass CDs.
Compared to CD sales, vinyl albums brought in £138.6 million in 2021, an increase of 24.2% year-on-year. By the end of the year, vinyl will be ahead of CD’s.
