The king in yellow is from a book by Robert Chambers. Old cosmic horror type stuff similar to H P Lovecraft. Also the name king in yellow appears in the first season of true detective, it’s how the serial killer refers to himself.

"The King in Yellow" is a collection of short stories by Robert Chambers. Definitely inspired HP lovecraft. The King in Yellow is about a play that if you read it or watch it, it drives you insane. The color yellow makes its way into Lovecraft as well.

Lots of white noise on the pick attack. Not my favourite sound ever, but seems like a well built unit for those who are chasing this kind of OD. [Edit] I should watch further into the vid before commenting. lol. The EQ on the unit really is key. Once you boosted the low end into the amp with the 6505 it really tamed the overt scratch. Sounds good.

Lovecraft also took it from Robert W. Chambers' book of the same name, who again took the names from another book that dates back to 1886 :) But the artwork we chose is of course clearly referencing to the look of Lovecrafts Hastur :)

They need to take out VAT in the ordering process. 50 Euro shipping is overpriced too. Don't need or want courier type delivery at this price. I buy items all the time from Europe. Not sure why the shipping charges are so high? 19% VAT does not apply to USA destinations either? Looking at this and another pedal but shipping and VAT are really holding me back.

The "King in Yellow" could be a reference to the pedal having both symmetrical clipping (Tubescreamer / green / "king of overdrives") and asymmetrical clipping (Boss SD-1 / yellow / "in yellow"?)... Just a theory. 😄 This fulfils my need for a black Tubescreamer to fit my board consisting of mostly black, chrome and white pedals... 🥸

It's a reference to a figure that appears throughout the history of literature since 1886 - showing up in Lovecraft, King and evenmade it's way into modern day Hollywood (True Detective). In fact we're basing all pedal names and artworks on literature - mainly fantasy. But I love your idea as well!
