Atomic Tone
Saturation Triptych
A husband and wife team started the company in 2023. It is a JHS kind of story of a self taught amateur making pedals starting around 2004. This pedal is an OpAmp OD/Fuzz with a bit of how was the Muff designed do it and how did the Tube Screamer do it factor woven into this pedal. many reviewers use the term Fuzzy Distortion for such a pedal. On the whole I avoid this as it suggests some amazing original design when more are nothing but an OpAmp pushing a selection of clipping diodes.The layout has the familiar Volume, The Treble is more of a LPF to cut
back the and Bass is a HPF that tightens the low end. A switch gives you
3 types of diodes. The Saturation is a BIAS control. move it one way and it will head towards Fuzzy sounds and the other will be more Overdrive.
CONCLUSION___It is a well made & well thought out pedal. The devil is in the detail. The HPF, and LPF make a big difference. It can pass as
a heavy Doomer to a near Tube Screamer. Anyone can find
something in it. If nothing else it is perfect for covering
several pedals you only need for one tune each.
