J Mascis has been using the Retrovibe on his main board for a few years now, so that was the way to go for the 10 limited edition pedals carrying his signature to be Retrovibes!
J’s charity of choice is MusiCares, which provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly influence the health and welfare of the music community.
Please remember, that this is not a platform to buy expensive limited pedals, but a platform to help fellow musicians in need as much as possible where the highest offers made are rewarded with a limited pedal hand-signed by their favorite artist. Keep this in mind while deciding what your highest offer could/should be!
