The Stomp Under Foot Sonic Generator is a fuzz pedal created with the goal of blending two types of fuzz tones: a smooth fuzz sonic base with a ripping, Velcro-style fuzz on top of it.
Inspired by the guitar sound of American Desert Rock and Stoner bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Nebula, Sleep, and Red Fang, this pedal gives you a deep-sounding, larger-than-life fuzz sound that can be tweaked thanks to the interaction between the Mids and Tone knob, with the former affecting both mids and lower-end to maintain the circuit’s signature full body.
Stomp Under Foot Sonic Generator, Builder’s Notes
Inspired by the fuzzy tones of Desert and Stoner Rock, the Sonic Generator gives you that massive, ripping fuzz sound similar to Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Nebula, Sleep, Red Fang, etc.
I wanted the pedal to sound like it had a mix of two types of fuzz, a smooth fuzz underneath with a ripping, Velcro type-of-fuzz on top. Also, I wanted the pedal to be usable in any situation so the fuzz control goes from full out monster fuzz to a fat, lower-gain grit.
The mids control not only adds mids but it also adds body to the pedal keeping the tone full when the mids are turned up.
The name of this stoner fuzz pedal comes from the origins of Desert Rock where bands would use power generators out in the desert to power their amps.
Stomp Under Foot pedals are made by hand using only quality, through-hole components.
