Weird Noise What The Fuzz

Based in Astoria, OR, Weird Noise Pedals chose a name that leaves no room for misunderstanding: these folks aren't afraid to get loud and quirky. Their provocatively named WTF pedal (don't worry, it's an acronym for "What a Fuzz!") is a simple 3-knob/2-mode fuzz with a noteworthy range. Those three…Click on the title for more

Spaceman FX Gemini IV Dual Fuzz Generator

Since fuzz lovers tend to love extremes, the folks at Spaceman FX came up with the brilliant idea of putting two fuzz circuits (a germanium and a silicon one) in one pedal.

SNK Pedals CMOSludge Sunn Beta-Style Preamp

Notwithstanding their "solid-stateness," the now discontinued Sunnn Beta Lead amps from the late '70s and early '80s have a stellar reputation among hard rockers, mostly because of Curt Cobain, who used three of those heads when gigging, and they are starting to get rare and pricey. The SNK Pedals CMOSludge…Click on the title for more

Rainger FX Air Space Invader 2

The Rainger FX Air Space Invader 2 is a rather unique take on the fuzz-based synth pedal for guitar. At maximum Mix settings, it's pure fuzz/distortion (with its own Drive knob to set the saturation), while if you start turning that knob anti-clockwise, the synth filter is introduced, but there's…Click on the title for more

Weird Noise Pedals Fuzz It

The Weird Noise Pedals Fuzz It is a stompbox hand-made in Astoria, OR, for those who appreciate simplicity in a gnarly sauce.

Swamp Witch Pedals Silver Birch Overdrive

We love pedals with non-descriptive controls!

New Pedal: MAS Effects Sona Fuzz

The Soma fuzz by Illinois-base MAS Effects is a high gain fuzz that's more tweakable than it may appear at a first glance.
