As the largest state park in the third largest state in the United States, Anza Borrego Desert State Park is one of the most breathtaking, wild, and harsh places around. Clocking in at over 600,000 acres, Anza Borrego is mostly untouched wilderness. The quiet of the desert can be comforting, but also misleading, as temperatures in the evening can quickly bring 40 degree temperature swings, and intense wind storms through slot canyons. Anza Borrego's claim to fame is its intense springtime wildflower superblooms, attracting visitors from all over the world. We wanted to capture this stark contrast on the the pedal, and think it came out great. Katie and I took our oldest daughter to primitive camp when she was 2 months old and it is one of our top 5 family memories.

Power
It is critical that you use a high quality, isolated and filtered power supplies with The Americana States Series. Every modern measure was taken to ensure quiet, recording-worthy noise suppression, but low-quality power and power supplies can inject unwanted noise in these effects. Even though we've designed them to play nicely on a daisy chain, we don't recommend it.
