Heavy Deavy Skull Fuzz by Vintage FX
And this one I am very excited to tell you about, cause I designed the artwork for it…hehehe. My buddy Dave Archer built this pedal as a signature pedal for the band The Warlocks, one of my all time favorite bands. I believe the only way to get one of these is to go to the Warlocks website and put in an order, or by contacting Dave directly. As of how many of these will be made I am not sure of. But one thing I will tell you is that this baby is one badass mo-fo. The Heavy section of the pedal is a distortion, which is capable of knocking out some classic to all out maddness overdrive tones. A really cool feature in the Heavy section is the Comp switch, which when flipping it gives you these low-fi, garage band, super muddy tones. The Deavy section is the fuzz circuit of the pedal, and alone can stand up to anything out there (sorry everybody, but it can), combined with the Heavy section and you got a signature tone of all your own. A really sweet feature in the Deavy section is the Order switch, which lets you choose which circuit will come first in the chain. There are an endless amount of tones you can get with this thing. You can use it as mild to rockin overdrive, classic to heavy distortion, fuzz box and beyond. I say go out and get yourself one while you can, you know me, I love pedals, and this is one super cool pedal to add to your collection.
