IDIOTBOX EFFECTS
RON SWANSON
$130.00 USD SUPER FUZZ
The maker calls himself Atarimatt, WTF. His company has been around since 2011 and this is one of his early offerings. He has a very large following in many of the Metal genres and I expect a few very happy Shoegazers as well. the original is very open and dare I say messy. The pedal is famous for it's massive sound. It has thundering lows and a general tear your face off sound. The Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz clone is perhaps as famous for making one that puts some control to the sound yet even fattening it more. Alas it has come and gone. The Idiotbox is more about cleaning and tightening it up. I expect in a band it would instantly win your
respect by still slamming your audience but nailing it in the mix.
CONCLUSION
I have heard and reviewed dozens. None were bad. Some are more open and others tight and could poke thru a mix better. The Behringer FC-2 Super Fuzz take on the Boss version sounds as good as any of them and it is $30.00 USD.
