The American Dollar - Rudiments of A Spiritual Life

Started by high school friends John Emanuele and Richard Cupolo from Queens, NY in 2005, The American Dollar creates pieces that wholly captivate and engage the listener. The duo fuses processed drums, spacious keyboards and powerful organ swells with electric guitar and bass, creating deep sonic textures while maintaining the passion and energy of a live band.

What is the device he use to initially play the long distorted notes? It sounds like a type of pedal but obviously isn't. Anybody know? Thanks!
