Brian Farmer Farmland FX / JD Simo V.O.T.

This is one of the earliest prototypes that was to sent to JD SIMO for testing. It has the handmade circuit board which was employed to fine tune the circuit that JD Simo recommended as the final design. This is a very rare opportunity to own a legendary fuzz for one of the greats of our time. This unit was played by Warren Haynes and tested in his rig on multiple occasions.

Brian Farmer:

Warren Haynes’ longtime and beloved guitar tech, Brian Farmer, died Sunday, August 24, 2014 at his home near Nashville. Farmer died peacefully in his sleep. He was 53.

"He was a close friend, a devoted worker and a lover of life,” Haynes said. “We traveled around the world together and shared many experiences—mostly while laughing. He will be missed by a huge circle of friends and family."

Farmer was extraordinarily dedicated to his craft, to the world of guitars and amps, to Haynes and all his projects—and to the music itself. People like Farmer keep the wheels turning and the gears greased and the guitars in tune. The shows don’t happen without them—and no one did any of this better, with more dedication, heart and soul than Farmer.

Farmer began working for Gov’t Mule in 1998, brought to the band by his old friend, bassist Allen Woody, who died almost exactly 14 years earlier. Prior to joining the Mule crew, Farmer worked for Johnny Cash for eight years before the Man in Black retired from touring. Farmer was exceedingly proud of his close relationship with Johnny and June Carter Cash.
