If you’re looking for some of the greats from yesteryear, with a little twist and cool artwork, look no further. Husband and wife Ryan and Shannon Ratajski have teamed up to start Fuzzrocious Pedals, a small effects pedal company that builds some of the classics, like the EHX Russian Green Big Muff, Tychobrahe Octavia, DOD Envelope Filter, and a whole bunch more favorites. We all know how hard it can be to find vintage pedals, or how much they can go for these days when you do find one. Many of us also don’t know how to build pedals, if you were to ask me to try and solder something you better also have a fire extinguisher on board. Fuzzrocious Pedals run from about 70 to 110 bucks, with mods or add ons they can run a little bit more. There’s a new triangle version Big Muff Pi clone with 2 new mods available, a Feedback Expression Photo Eye mod, and a Mids boost/cut Switch mod. Shannon also does custom artwork colors, or you can send her your own designs as well. Besides there own stuff Ryan can also do a few simple mods, and he rehouses your pedals, for more info on which pedals he can work on check out the website. Fuzzrocious offers very fast turnaround, builds all their pedals custom to order, and are down with the environment by saying no to batteries which is very cool and very popular right now. Below are some more of their pedals and prices, if you’d like to check out more on Fuzzrocious or would like to contact them hit up the website and email address. Enjoy and support!!!
