FUZZ- HOLY ISLAND AUDIO Micro Mountain Mover___NEW___ just released today

 HOLY ISLAND AUDIO

$185.00 USD

 MICRO  MOUNTAIN    

 MOVER    

Handmade in Cardiff Wales. A board friendly 

version of a bigger one. It is a beefed up 

cross between a Big Muff and an octave Fuzz.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. A toggle

scoops or pushes the mids.

     CONCLUSION __

A massive harsh and nasty sound. 

Not for the cork sniffers or the Klon 

worshippers, 

NOTE: There isn't a credible video of this so

I posted the full size model.

FUZZ- ELECTRO HARMONIX Satisfaction Plus ...Maestro Fuzz Tone clone

 electro-harmonix 

$100.00 USD

Satisfaction  PLUS

The Maestro Fuzz Tone was the first readily available manufactured 

Fuzz. It was thin, very nasal and lacked serious sustain. But it gave

you a radical change of tone at the click of a switch. I got one as a 

kid to go with my National tube amp with one knob and an 8 inch speaker and my Harmony Rocket single cut semi :-)

Probably the coolest Fuzz ever is the Tone Bender. It is a hot rodded Fuzz Tone, lol. But I digress. 

This is definitely a Fuzz Tone but with a couple of extras. The layout tells the story. You get Volume, Gain and Tone and a BIAS control. 

A toggle labeled Fat is a mids boost.

 

CONCLUSION___

If you play music that is deliberately garage

band kitsch this is heaven. 

The mods added do not mask the basic sound.  

😦 ...spend $25 more and buy the Tone Bender

5 PAIN KILLERS FOR A TUBE SCREAMER HEADACHE

 OUCH!!! 

Is there a perfect Overdrive ???

YES !!! ...there are dozens of them.

They are all better than the those 

hundreds of other ones, 😇

        

OVERDRIVE- THORPY FX Kudu___NEW ___the ultimate stacker?

$330.00 USD

Thorpy FX

 KUDU

This pedal sounds great on its own but was designed 

from the ground up to stack, and stack on or with anything including amps or pedals.

The layout is simple. Volume Gain Bite and a toggle for 

3 voices.

     CONCLUSION ___

I own 5 pedals that indispensable but 

I ONLY use them for stacking. In short 

this makes sense. That said Thorpy are

a luxury item. I can't afford the paint jobs,😇

OVERDRIVE- EMPRESS EFFECTS Empress Drive ___NEW ___the lab speaks out

$300.00 USD

empress  e f f e c t s

DRIVE

It is as if a OD were a cake and each knob was an ingredient 

so you can make your own drive.

The layout is Gain, Mix to bring in some cleans, Output volume, 

Bass, Mids with MID FREQ to sweep the mids, Bass, the a 

BOOST and a GATE.

     CONCLUSION ___

The harmonic detail is very refined. Like the $390.00 USD 

Origin Revival Drive it can pass for a channel of a real tube 

amp. That sad it is definitely aimed at being used with a tube 

amp. The $300.00 USD price is understandable as it is a high 

end studio tool in a stomp box. 

 

OVERDRIVE- FENDER Godzilla Distortion ___NEW ___ Limited Ed ...high gain Doom Metal

$150.00 USD

  FENDER  

GODZILLA >|  

It's an OpAmp high gain wonder, lol. If it is 

clone it is not obvious.

The layout is Volume, Gain with active Treble 

and Bass.

         CONCLUSION ___

Sounds very good, Priced to sell 

and this one is a Ltd.Ed that could 

get double used in just a year.

This line of the Fender pedals

have collectors that buy them 

to go with their Hot Wheels 

collection, LOL, 😟
