Professor’s Notes

Long Tail is a rare kind of overdrive — thicker through the center, quick to bloom, and uncannily good at making a big, clean amp feel finished without sounding like a “pedal moment.” It doesn’t fight your guitar or your rig; it completes them, with a midrange that shows up like a well-placed microphone. If you’ve been chasing one drive that makes the whole setup behave, this is the one that makes you stop searching.

Professor’s Tips

• Start simple: Use it as your foundation into clean or high-headroom rigs. It breaks up a touch earlier than Short Tail and carries more mid girth, so the texture arrives sooner.
• Boost or overdrive — both win: Fantastic as a boost for sustain and definition, and equally strong as a primary overdrive when you want crunchy goodness that stays tight and flattering.
• Lives for edge-of-breakup: It can go heavier, but it shines in nuanced, touch-sensitive breakup — the kind where your right hand feels like the control surface.
• Stacking rule: Put it first when you want it to set the posture of the rig (center + authority). Put it after another boost or drive if you want to thicken and “finish” that pedal’s voice.
• High headroom note: If your amp stays big and clean no matter what you do, Long Tail is a smart first stage — it adds shape and urgency without needing extra stages just to feel alive.

Description

SUMO STOMP "Long Tail #873" is an incredibly accurate boutique reproduction of serial number #873 from the K-pedal Long Tail production period with a more pedalboard friendly footprint. With its double-stacked circuit boards, it measures even smaller than a KTR while still using premium hand-wired chips, resistors and caps. A flawlessly anodized CNC milled case with laser etched branding is used to house the Long Tail.

The Long Tail features all the big, open and warm tone of the original with wonderfully full but clear midrange that cuts through the mix. Responsive and dynamic, it adds depth and dimension to your tone without drastically altering the tone of your guitar or amp. It features a buffered bypass specification just like the original. The SUMO STOMP reproductions have become highly sought after just like the original.
