Pedal Reviews: Rainger FX Dr. Freakenstein Fuzz

There sure are some pretty wild boutique stompbox manufacturers out there. That being said, I can pretty easily say that the Rainger FX Dr. Freakenstein Fuzz (DrFF-3) is the weirdest pedal I have ever come across.

Pedal Demo: Selah Effects’ Scarlett Love Overdrive V2

Being based in Tasmania is definitely not an advantage for a pedal manufacturer. Oh, yeah, no... Tasmania (where Selah Effects is) is not in Africa, it's in Australia, right there.
