New Pedals: Foxpedal Defector Fuzz

The limit of many fuzz pedals is their "one-trick-poniness." The Defector, a stompbox by Richland, WA based boutique manufacturer Foxpedal, doesn't share that characteristic, featuring ways of tailoring both the fuzz sound and the EQ to fit into any rig or playing style.

Seminal, vintage pedals: Ampeg’s Scrambler – by Gearphoria

In the late 1960s, about the same time Ampeg was working to introduce its now SVT amplifier, the company hopped onto the fuzz bandwagon with the introduction of the Scrambler. The SVT is a legend.
