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. The standard 3 knob control scheme of ‘Level’, ‘Tone’, and ‘Fuzz’ is there,…... Click for more

Tone Mob Model 001 Fuzz Generator (demo)

Some stories tell themselves, here's the one of the Model 001 FuzzGenerator from the SolidGoldFX and Tone Mob websites (the pedal is the result of a collaboration between the two manufacturers): So, a while back we released the original Model 001.

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. The Scrambler was a stunning failure. It was rumored that it took the company half…... Click for more

The WrightSounds Fuzz-Stang comes to Brooklyn

The '70s were prime-time for deliciously dirty fuzz tones, and the Sam Ash Fuzz-Stainer - a pedal that harkens back to a time when the music retail giant was cranking out their own brand of effects - delivered delirious levels of fuzzy goodness. For most pedal connoisseurs and fuzz-lovers alike,…... Click for more
