Michael Landau’s dream distortion!
The Butter Machine was developed in collaboration with Michael Landau to create his ideal distortion pedal.
Vemuram invested over two years in R&D, creating countless prototypes.
They had Michael use these prototypes during sessions and tours to get direct feedback, aiming to achieve his perfect driven tone.
The result is a user-friendly distortion pedal with a wide range.
The Butter Machine allows you to control your picking nuance and dynamics, smoothly going from overdrive to full-on distortion!
Here's what Michael Landau had to say about the Butter Machine:
“In the past, I’ve used an SD9 as my high-gain pedal, my main distortion pedal for many years, but I’ve always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with it. It can be shrill and overly compressed if not dialed in just right… So a couple of years ago, I asked Daiya (CEO of Vemuram) if he could design a distortion pedal that had the positive sonic qualities of the SD9 but without the overly compressed, high-end harshness. We used the SD9 as a starting point, but this new Vemuram distortion pedal is a higher-grade unit with many improvements. Besides the Gain, Volume, and Tone knobs, there are two trim pots that let you fine-tune this pedal in a unique way. The final version of this new Vemuram distortion pedal has a perfectly open, natural feeling overdrive. It has gain and sustain for days… yet it stays clear, punchy, and solid when you roll the volume back on your guitar. It’s very easy to dial in the perfect amount of overdrive with this pedal while keeping all of the musicality intact. Vemuram has designed the best distortion pedal that I have ever played through. We named it the “Butter Machine,” and if you play through one, you’ll know why. It’s a very satisfying sonic experience.”
