Bebop pedals are liked by road riders looking for a light, double-sided clip-in pedal with a low stack height and generous float.

Get into Raul Midon's unique state of min
The first thing you notice about Raul Midón is his voice ? a Stevie Wonder tears-of-joy voice. Then it's his dazzling guitar style ? syncopated, percussive, and slap-happy, combining elements of flamenco and jazz. And his lyrics soar like poetry. But what really takes you by surprise is that bebop mouth trumpet solo, earning him a burst of spontaneous mid-song applause.
