Sum 41:
Sum 41 is a Canadian punk/alternative band from Ajax, Ontario. They started in 1996 as a quartet made by Deryck Whibley (vocals, guitar), Cone McCaslin (bass guitar), Steve Jocz (drums) and Dave Baksh (lead guitar), though the band has seen several line-ups during the years.
They have sold over 10 million copies of their 5 albums, and have also published a large number of singles plus two live DVDs and a live album.
The band started as group of friends from High School that played in different bands, one of them called Kaspir. One day they all met in a concert of "Hole" and that day happened to be the 41st day of the summer. That's the reason why they decided to change their name to "Sum 41", "Sum" comes from "Summer", and the first time they used it was in a Supernova show. Their first studio album arrived soon after their first EP, in 2001 "All killer no filler" was released featuring 13 tracks (14 in UK). One of them was to be a huge hit, "Fat Lip", hitting nº1 in USA and many other countries. "In too deep" and "Motivation" were to follow, and the band got more and more popular. They went on the Warped Tour that lasted more than a year in which they gave around 300 concerts, some of them along Blink 182. [...]

Malekko Echo 300b Review: This nice little boutique stomp is an extremely natural sounding delay pedal that has character and offers some nice features not found otherwise in factory models. The boutique price and not being able to test it can turn down some people, but if you like analog delay sound, you cannot make a mistake with this one. It's a real jewel. Read the full review!
