Pants, you created that name.
So you elaborate on how that name came in.
- I mean a Stonewall hippie, I remember one night James and I were playing here at the Blue Light and I looked over at literally a stone wall and James was saying that we're hippies.
And I was like, "No, bro, we're Stonewall hippies."
It's pretty as simple.
That's about it.
- Sounds deeper than it is.
- It's, yeah.

And I soaked it in wholeheartedly.
And so I have a few pedals, but they only add like one or two stages.
But the biggest thing is just purity.
