“It’s extremely bizarre. It’s made by this very strange guy, who disappeared. No one knows where he is”: The mystery pedal that became a Sean Lennon favorite

Sean Lennon of The Claypool Lennon Delirium performs at The Georgia Theatre on June 7, 2016 in Athens, Georgia.

As the son of a Beatle, Sean Lennon had a tough job stepping out of his father’s looming shadow. With his psychedelic, Primus-coded collaborative project, The Claypool Lennon Delerium, he’s done that in style. And it’s a gig that requires some wonderfully weird pedals.

The band – which also features Primus bass player and vocalist Les Claypool – is set to release its third album, The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy, next month. That’s seen Lennon sit down with Guitar World to dish the dirt on the stompboxes coloring their latest trip.
