Wyatt Burton: Tribute to Tribute
Wyatt Burton of Peterborough, Ontario, plays electric and lap steel with the Silver Hearts, a “10-piece beer hall orchestra.” He credits his board to Jeremy Spencley, a high-school pal who now runs Tribute Audio Designs. “His pedals have really changed the face of my board,” says Wyatt. “He’s built me a bunch of one-offs, including a [Baldwin-Burns] Buzzaround clone (with a switch to mis-bias the diodes for glitchy 8-bit action), a two-in-one EP Boost/Klon clone (in green), and a wicked command center that packs two loops, a mute, and JFET-boosted A/B switching that eliminated four other boxes and allowed me to downsize from a 22" x 32" flight case to a Pedaltrain JR!” Wyatt’s non-Tribute pedals include a ZVEX Fuzz Factory, an Electro-Harmonix Micro POG, a DOD Phasor 201, and a Flashback Delay and PolyTune from TC Electronic. A Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus provides the juice.

Pedal lust has no end—these pedalboard pics keep rolling in, and there are plenty more where these came from. Check out other reader boards at premierguitar.com.
