You've probably seen our Potent Pairings series in which Joe takes the effects pedals we have handy in our studio to replicate the signature tones of some of our favorite artists. This season, we got you involved and we asked you which guitar icons should receive the Potent Pairings treatment. But now, we're taking it a step further...
We want you to complete this season of Potent Pairings by showing us your chameleon-like stompbox skills as you emulate the sound of My Bloody Valentine in our #MyBloodyPairing Contest.
Entering is easy, and you could stomp away with up to $500 USD (or equivalent, if you're not located in the U.S.) in Reverb credit to use toward Reverb or Reverb LP purchases. Here's how it works:
- Make a video (one minute or less) of you recreating the sounds of your favorite My Bloody Valentine song (or songs.)
- Post that video to your Twitter or Instagram profile using the hashtag #MyBloodyPairing
We'll whittle the entries down to five finalists who demonstrate a true knack for matching the MBV tone. Those five entry videos will be shared on Reverb's website and a winner will be selected by a public vote.
So put your pedals to the metal and get pairing. All entries must be received by August 15, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
Check our Terms & Conditions for a full list of contest guidelines, and take a look at some of our past Potent Pairing videos to gather inspiration.
