NOKILL Pedal Co. Loves Dogs And Glitchy Fuzz Pedals – And So Do I

The Borzoi Glitch Fuzz is a gnarly, nasty fuzz pedal with momentary glitch capabilities and synthy sounds. Over the years I’ve accumulated quite the collection of glitchy, synthy, weird noisemaking fuzz pedals. It’s just a very fun sub-genre of pedals that has always called to me. I love making a guitar sound broken, even ifContinue reading “NOKILL Pedal Co. Loves Dogs And Glitchy Fuzz Pedals – And So Do I”

This is a really thick sounding, hard clipping distortion pedal for folks who don’t subtle gain sounds. Born Out Of The DeArmond Square Wave Distortion Generator Eavesdropper’s Dr. Square was inspired by the Square Wave Distortion Generator, a pedal I was not familiar with prior to this review and demo. However, if it sounds anythingContinue reading “The Eavesdropper Dr. Square Is Fun, Versatile Take On An Obscure DeArmond Distortion Pedal”

Rare Buzz Strikes Fuzz Gold Again With The Rubidium Superoxide Pedal

After wowing me with the Fuzz Bob-Omb, Rare Buzz has outdone themselves with this boosted octave fuzz. During 2022 I fell in love with Rare Buzz’s Fuzz Bob-Omb, a silly looking, grizzly sounding germanium fuzz based on some old forgotten Soviet tech.

One half Onederbolt distortion, one half turbo big muff, but all goodness. Few pedal companies have become more important to me in the last year than Oneder Effects.

Gear Ant’s Cicada Fuzz + Phaser Pedal Is Pure Madness

This new creation pairs spitty fuzz with swirling phaser to make quite the noisemaker. Every now and then a pedal comes along that’s sort of impractical, but feels entirely necessarily. That’s the best way to describe Gear Ant’s latest creation, the Cicada. And don’t let that description fool you, it’s not an insult. Instead, GearContinue reading “Gear Ant’s Cicada Fuzz + Phaser Pedal Is Pure Madness”

Tulpa FX Owlman Pedal Is A Thick, Terrifying Noisemaker

Fuzz and ring modulation combine to create a tool as haunting and powerful as the cryptic it is named after.

Meet the Fuzz Club, Your New Versatile, Loud Fuzz Friend

A Fuzz War-inspired pedal that adds versatility and lots of volume to any pedalboard it touches. It’s not everyday that I find pedals that are too loud.
