So this post is a little academic in some ways as many of these are already sold out - so more to celebrate these pedals’ existence rather than any sort of promotion really. Only 10 of the Halloween Bat, and then 5 of each of the other varieties were made - while I think Vitalii could have made a lot more.
There’s always some cool seasonal limited / special editions at this time of year - I’ve already posted up the excellent TWA Octoverdrive - and I shared JAM Pedals brilliant custom limited Halloween Editions last year. While this year around these 5 Specials are going to take a lot to beat!
The visuals are totally different from the originals - but totally on-point too - and each of those has cool knobs, and a ghostly luminous glow-in-the-dark paint job to match the ace fantasmagorical new graphics. I was incredibly tempted to double down on some of these - even though I own each of them already in standard editions.
Several brands do Halloween editions from year to year - but very few do them quite so well as these. I would be very happy if Vitalii brought all of these back again next year!
The ones remaining are available on the Drunk Beaver Reverb.com Store - per the following details, while I don’t imagine they will linger long! :
Controls - Distortion, Filter, Volume, Mode : Boost / Soft MOSFET / Soft Ge / Hard Si / Hard LED, Op-Amp : Vintage / Modern, Fat : Fat / Stock / Low.
A killer take on the ProCo Rat
Controls - Time, Feedback, Mix, Shape, Depth, Rate, Wave, Preamp : Off/On.
Cool Modulated Delay with lots of control parameters.

Beautifully textured Analog Chorus.
Controls - Volume, Balance, Voice : Classic / Loud, Smooth, Sustain.
A superior take on the Silicon Maestro FZ-1S.
