FUZZ PEDALS

Rainger FX Air Space Invader 2

The Rainger FX Air Space Invader 2 is a rather unique take on the fuzz-based synth pedal for guitar. At maximum Mix settings, it's pure fuzz/distortion (with its own Drive knob to set the saturation), while if you start turning that knob anti-clockwise, the synth filter is introduced, but there's…...
