The controls for the pedal are located in the centre of the vinyl records, which can be played on turntables.In a video explainer, Romanus Records walk fans through the new creation, and explain in the description: “One overdrive boost, and one delay pedal.

Each with their own unique A.D.D. Pedals touch. The boost has a toggle switch for two different channels of boost while the delay has 4 wild settings for unique delay combos.“One pedal features the A side of the LP while the other the B side.

These are limited to 35 units and will be sold USA only for this particular release.
