If you pick up the August issue of Electronic Musician magazine, you’ll find an interview with Jack White describing how he used a pedal built by those geniuses at local boutique company Union Tube & Transistor. White’s vocal was run through a signature pedal called the More on “I’m Shakin’ ”, while the same pedal is responsible for the guitar sounds on “Sixteen Saltines”, both from the album Blunderbuss.

“In July I got this call from Andy Wilson, who’s a mastering guy in New York,” Union Tube cofounder Chris Young told the Straight. “He phoned me on a Saturday morning and he said, ‘I just spent two-and-a-half days trying to track you down. Jack White says he used your pedals on the new album.’ I was like, ‘Fuck off…’ ”

It was the first Young had heard, although he knew that a bunch of Union Tube gear had been shipped down to Third Man Records. He subsequently built a Facebook page for the low-key company, since, as Young says, “I should at least have someplace for some people to go look!”
