Wonder! Glory! Sweet, Sweet Fuzzzzzzz............

Who's a fuzzy, fuzzy boy......?

We are back and so is the beauty and the truth, or at the very least, super sweet effects pedals.

As is ever the way, the High Mage of Modulation is here to show us how to sound better. To FEEL better.

Who are we to not heed his wondrous lessons?

Musicmaker is ever proud of his almost supernatural skills. It is said his ears were a gift from Echo herself and his ideas are a direct connection to the Muses Calliope and Thalia.

I am ready, are you?

Take it away, my exalted friend.

The Pedals

Moose Electronics Dobsky Fuzz Pedal

The Moose Dobsky fuzz pedal is a standout in the world of guitar effects, known for its rich and versatile fuzz tones. Designed with inspiration from classic fuzz pedals of the 1960s and 70s, it offers modern enhancements for better control and reliability. Musicians love its ability to produce everything from subtle overdrive to powerful, aggressive fuzz, making it popular across different music styles.

What sets the Dobsky apart from many other fuzz pedals out there is the huge range of sounds available, without having a whole array of confusing control dials. 5 dials, each with powerful functionality, the ability to dial back in your clean signal, and the 2 fully fledged 3-way toggle switches to upend your mid-frequencies or your distortion clipping modes. It offers a lot, for bass, guitar or even synth (we demo all 3 in this video)

The Moose Dobsky fuzz pedal is also built to last, with a sturdy enclosure that can handle live performances and regular use. Its unique artwork and vintage-style knobs add to its appeal, making it a great addition to any pedalboard. And it's entirely hand-wired by the main man himself. Whether used in the studio or on stage, this pedal offers reliable, high-quality fuzz that inspires creativity in musicians and producers alike.

We run through all of it's settings and sounds in under 5 minutes with no waffle, so you can just hear the pedal at all times.

LR Baggs Align Series EQ Pedal

The L.R. Baggs Align Equalizer draws on the circuitry from Baggs’ Para Acoustic DI, and provides six bands of EQ, with 9db of boost or cut in each band. The bands are fixed, but well-chosen to adjust useful frequencies for guitar. Additional controls include a three-position high-pass filter, rolling off frequencies below 40, 80, or 120 Hz; a phase switch; a notch filter; volume control; a three-position selectable gain switch offering 0, -6, or +6 db cut/boost; and a true-bypass footswitch.

With the true-bypass switch, it is reasonable to cascade as many Equalizer pedals as you like to allow different preset EQs to be activated for different sounds or different instruments. The pedal could also be used as a switchable boost, with or without additional EQ. The Equalizer’s 5.1MΩ input impedance allows it to operate as the first effect in your signal chain, but is probably best placed after the Session pedal, when used with the other Align series pedals.

The onboard EQ controls to be very effective, with the bass control capable of adding a big bottom end, or tightening up the bass. The 350Hz control can add warmth or remove mud, 700Hz is a common problem frequency for piezo and magnetic pickups, and the remaining higher frequency controls allow you to adjust presence and air.

We run through all it can do in just under 5 minutes with zero talking, so you can just get comfy and listen along.

And Finally......

EBS MultiComp True Dual Band Compressor - Blue Label

The EBS Multi Comp Blue Label is an analog, high-performance, multi-band compressor pedal that will improve your sound instantly.

The EBS MultiComp is the most popular EBS effects unit ever. Thousands of bass players, guitarists, and other musicians all over the world use it on their pedalboards. The compressor hits the sweet spot between allowing for dynamic playing and creating a smooth consistency across the fretboard. It can also be used simply to push the gain and beef up the overall sound when desired.

There is a major addition to the new EBS MultiComp Blue Label. A control on the front panel to adjust the threshold level, or Sensitivity. The more you turn up the control, the higher the sensitivity. The benefit of this is that you can adjust the sensitivity to match the output level of your instrument or your playing style. A center click indicates the factory setting value on previous editions of the pedal, to offer a reference to your old MultiComp.

To handle high-end basses equipped with 18V preamps with very hot output, the new MultiComp Blue Label can operate continuously on up to 18V DC power. This gives the pedal enough headroom to handle even these extreme instruments. The new version has a reduced footprint by 12% and is lighter to save space and weight on your pedalboard. The recessed jacks keep the space needed between pedals to a minimum. The EBS MultiComp Blue Label will replace the Studio Edition from now on.
