Acorn Amps has unveiled the Epstein Didn't Kill Himself Fuzz, a three-transistor silicon fuzz pedal, Guitar.com reported on 22 February 2024. The pedal is priced at $125 and is on pre-order, with shipping to begin 18 March1.
The pedal's controls are named for its subject. An "Erase Footage" knob controls the overall signal volume, and a "Fuzzy Recollection" knob controls the amount of fuzz, which the maker says sweeps "between slightly gritty boost all the way to heavy fuzz crunch"2. Guitar.com describes the range as going from a slightly gritty tone to a full-blown frazzled crunch1. A "Security Camera" toggle switch lets the player keep the illuminated "N'T" letters in "DIDN'T" always on, or switchable with the effect's bypass2. Guitar.com reports that neon lighting comes on when the fuzz is engaged, lighting the "N'T" alongside "DID" and triggering a pair of red devil horns above a drawing of Jeffrey Epstein1.
The pedal is true bypass, runs on 9VDC pedal power and consumes less than 30mA of current21. Acorn Amps says it is "sonically similar to our now discontinued Bweep Fuzz" and points to a clip of that pedal for the tones to expect2. Guitar.com reports that there were no clips of the new pedal at the time of its article1.
