\"400-Grease-Juicer-Curt-Bisquera\"<\/a>West Co Pedals has announced the release of their first signature pedal, the Curt \u201cKirkee B\u201d Bisquera \u201cGrease Juicer\u201d – an envelope filter pedal with attitude. The Grease Juicer features a unique analog signal path with knobs making it easy to control its complex chain of fuzz into an envelope filter with a sidechain. Two versions are available\u2014one pedal is voiced specifically for bass and another tuned specifically for electric guitar. If players want a little extra grease and grit this pedal delivers, but it can also function solely as an envelope filter for a clean sound. The envelope filter was designed to accommodate a massive dynamic range\u2014everything from very quiet playing on a guitar with low output single coil pickups, all the way to thumpin\u2019 n\u2019 pluckin’ on a bass with active pickups. The Grease Juicer also sounds incredible on synths, electric piano, and clavinet. To get the kind of sounds and control that the Grease Juicer offers, it would normally take 2 or 3 separate pedals. The Grease Juicer is available through Clif Jones\u2019 LA Vintage Gear store in Burbank, CA, or through the West Co website directly at www.westcopedals.com<\/a> for $329.99 USD.<\/p>\n

One of the most \u201cin demand\u201d drummers, Curt Bisquera came to West Co Pedals to collaborate on an envelope filter for bass players to use while recording and performing. Bob Daspit, the founder of West Co Pedals, was able to realize Curt\u2019s vision\u2014and then took it to new heights by adding the guitar pedal version. \u201cI have been designing and building pedals on my own for several years, and now it\u2019s been incredible to work with a great musician like Curt to bring the new sounds of the Grease Juicer to life. We\u2019ve been getting great responses from our artists,\u201d says Daspit.<\/p>\n

John-Paul McLean, the bass player for Melvin Seals and JGB (Jerry Garcia Band<\/em>), tried the Grease Juicer recently and immediately exclaimed, \u201cThis is exactly what I’ve been looking for!\u201d (https:\/\/www.melvinsealsandjgb.com\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been using the Grease Juicer on this latest tour with John Legend,\u201d said bassist Kaveh Rastegar. \u201cI’ve also used it in the studio. It sounds great and is super dependable. I love this thing!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bisquera noted, \u201cFor 30-plus years I\u2019ve been playing with the most world-renowned artists and musicians – it just made sense for my first collab to create something for bassists, guitarists, and synth players that I knew I wanted to hear when I\u2019m playing drums!\u201d<\/p>\n
