High on Fire's Matt Pike and Mastodon's Brent Hinds revealed back in February they were working on something together. Then recently, the duo unveiled a brand new collaborative guitar pedal, leading everyone to believe that's what the project was. That is absolutely not the case.

Like some sax guys… ‘oh, what’s that dude doing over there, he’s choking a goose!’ [imitates sax] [laughs].”
