T-Rex chews on Jauernig’s Gristle trio
Danish pedalmasters T-Rex Engineering are taking over the construction of the three ‘Gristle’ series pedals borne from a relationship between pedalsmith Tim Jauernig and guitar player Greg Koch. Time is almost up if you want a hand-wired version of these classic overdrives. There is backlog building for the Jauernig-built stomps, so you’ll need to contact Tim about availability. The transition to T-Rex starts in January. According to T-Rex, the Gristle Luxury drive, the DGTM and the Gristle King have been ‘adopted’ by the company and are now official members of the T-Rex pedal family.
“T-Rex and myself have entered an arrangement where T-Rex will be handling the build and sale of the ‘Jauernig’ line of pedals under the T-Rex brand,” explains Jauernig in an e-mail to WTDP? “I have been consulting with T-Rex on the materials and construction of the pedals to ensure that the tone stays true to what the pedals have come to be known for. I believe T-Rex will do a great job of making them right. Greg Koch will continue to be the main enforcer and guitar slinging pummel-meister for the ‘Gristle’ pedals.”
