Axe... And You Shall Receive

Alexander’s latest amazing pedal has arrived and it is fairly insane and endlessly musical.  At its heart, Marshmallow is a pair of pitch shifters that combine and modulate in interesting ways with a variety of magic tricks.  Want smooth chorus?  No problem.  How about juicy organ tones?  Yup.  Maybe you want your stuff to sound like a cat on helium?  Yes, it will do that too.  Basically, Marshmallow is a quick way to start at normal and end up at “what was that?!”

3, count them! 3 new pedals from our buds at Fuzzrocious!!

1) KNOB JAWN is the first pedal on the market (that we know of) that has BOTH analog and digital octaving in a single enclosure. This means that the user is able to have a monophonic, dirty analog octave up and polyphonic, cleaner digital octave up and down!

2) BABY FURNACE is the mini version touting just the ripping, gated fuzz section of the BLAST FURNACE.

3) Playing Mantis is the perfect pedal for players who enjoy standing out from the crowd. You will not sound like anyone else because this pedal is special.

At this advanced age (lolz), I am likely one of the most critical ears there is when it comes to evaluating fuzz pedals. Don't get me wrong, i love fuzz with some passion, but I am admittedly non-plussed by the a lot of the boutique 3-knob fuzzes that are carbon copy clones of vintage fuzzes that many lesser companies, that we tend to avoid dealing with, churn out.  CGC is not one of those companies and The Hawaiian Pizza is not one of those pedals.  It is a glorious thing.  Harmonically rich beyond what you might think is even possible. In a nutshell, i love it.  Check out the demo:

and this demo as well if you want a different take on it.
