And Wolfgang Van Halen is delighted.<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Mammoth mainman was visited by popular YouTuber and guitarist with The Haunted, Ola Englund, who gave him the opportunity to test the device. Van Halen duly obliged, blasting out a series of increasingly fiery toots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s fucking amazing!&#8221; says Van Halen, before Englund explains the pedal&#8217;s &#8216;wet&#8217; and &#8216;dry&#8217; settings, which allow the guitarist to determine the moisture level of their playing\/farts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I need one!&#8221; says Van Halen. &#8220;This is amazing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The original Fart Pedal set the bar high in terms of fart fidelity and creative packaging,\u201d say the manufacturers. &#8220;The Number Two promises to break barriers and exceed expectations with twice the knobs, twice the switches, and ten times the splooty blompers. It will be a must-have on any serious guitar player\u2019s pedal board.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up below to get the latest from Classic Rock, plus exclusive special offers, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<p>Mammoth release their new album <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/mammoth-the-end\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/mammoth-the-end\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The End<\/a> on October 24, and begin a US tour of the same name a week later.
