NAMM 2012: The folks at Dunlop are kicking the year off in a big bad way with four new pedals: the Joe Bonamassa Signature Cry Baby wah, the Eric Johnson Signature Fuzz Face, the MXR M77 Custom Badass Modified OD and the Way Huge Red Llama Overdrive.
We met up with Dunlop's Artist Relations honcho Bryan Kehoe, who also happens to be a noted guitarist, who demoed all four pedals for our camera. As you'll see and hear, Kehoe is a man of many talents - and the pedals are cool, too!

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
