Aaron was the bandleader of Those Lavender Whales and the founder of Fork \u0026amp; Spoon Records. Because Aaron always wanted to see his friends grow, we didn't just re-release an old circuit—we pushed ourselves to create something full of welcome surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Preamp You’ve Been Asking For (And Then Some)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor years, players have asked us to release the preamp section from our Parabola and Météore as a standalone pedal.
