The pedal sold well and was used by Carlos Santana, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson of Rush and, later, Metallica's bassist Cliff Burton, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and in the 90s KoRn's rhythm guitarist Munky, Jack White of The White Stripes, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., The Edge of U2, and Billy Corgan (on The Smashing Pumpkins landmark album, Siamese Dream).
A band was then assembled that included Kramer on bass, Steve Dasinger from Board's own band Artless on drums, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr on lead guitar.
Shields later worked with J Mascis and Martina Topley-Bird, and he recorded sessions with brother Kevin for My Bloody Valentine that have yet to be released.
Later that year Rubalcaba performed on the track "From Nothing to Nowhere" on Pinback's album Autumn of the Seraphs and filled in for J Mascis in Witch for several live performances.
After that group's acrimonious demise, the duo of Fleming and Spiegel enlisted such indie celebrities as Thurston Moore, J Mascis, and Julia Cafritz in a reformed Velvet Monkeys.
J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr contributed many of the tracks and also made a cameo in the film.
