Madison Cunningham has been using the JHS Emperor Vibrato and Unicorn Univibe as her signature sound but Josh noticed that even though her Emperor was always on and in vibrato mode, Madison kept reaching down to switch the setting to another sound. Sensing an opportunity to make it easier to use during live shows, Josh first modded the pedal and then ended up developing an entirely new stompbox which became the Artificial Blonde.

At its core, the Artificial Blonde is a very simplistic approach to Madison's signature sound: a never off, always on slightly 3D pitch vibrato sound. The secondary footswitch switches between the two speed/depth preset sections. It's a true pitch vibrato modulation pedal with two easy-to-access modes for live use.
