When Telecaster master Bill Kirchen plays the trademark guitar licks he created for Commander Cody's classic, "Hot Rod Lincoln," he elicits instant recognition for a career that's spanned more than 30 years. In addition to this Grammy nominated star's 10-year stint with Cody, Bill has also performed with Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello and Danny Gatton, among others, and has five stellar albums under his own name with his band, Too Much Fun.

"I got my hands on a JangleBox recently and it's a welcome addition to my rather small pedal arsenal. I've been looking for compression that doesn't reshape my tone too much and this works. I usually record with light compression, but have never been able to find a pedal that was transparent enough until now. Thanks for helping me in my never-ending quest for Twang."
