2016-08-25 KHDK Electronics Unveils 'Scuzz Box' [link]
Kirk's KHDK Electronics has unveiled its latest guitar pedal entitled the Scuzz Box, a fuzz pedal. The pedal is a geranium-voiced fuzz pedal designed to provide truly musical fuzz. The pedal has two modes: Scuzz and Fuzz. The Fuzz "is a highly dynamic, articulate fuzz tone. Every note is meant to be heard and it cleans up beautifully with your guitar volume." The Scuzz "brings a dangerous, unique and biting sound. It is an unpredictable, ruckus velcro-type gated fuzz with a nasty, gnarly and buzzy tone with ripping textures. Thanks to a cleverly-used gating effect, the sustaining notes die quickly with virtually no residual noise." Check out everything about the new pedal at KHDK Electronics.
