Dr. No Effects announced the Siamese Twin SkullFuzz on July 21, 2026, describing it as a playable portrait of Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins, released in 1993¹.

The pedal combines two circuits in one enclosure. The maker says it houses a hybrid Chorus/Phaser and a 4-stage Distortion¹. The distortion is described as a 4-stage overdrive, with the maker stating he rebuilt his Kafuzz from the ground up for the sound, calling it "deep, saturated, but still sharp enough to slice"¹. The modulation section is described as a hybrid Chorus/Phaser that "drifts, at times, into UniVibe territory"¹. The maker says the project took a 3-month development period he calls "part engineering, part obsession"¹.

The enclosure fuses two cast SkullFuzz units, a reference to the album cover's image of twins¹. The maker writes that the series will be limited to five units, each built to order and customizable in color, and that each build takes 8 weeks because of the level of detail¹. No price or further availability details were given¹.

The maker frames the pedal as part of a broader practice of building what he calls portraits rather than only effects. "I don't only build high end analog guitar effects. Dr. No builds portraits, Dr. No creates 'beings'," he writes¹. The pedal is a fuzz-based design; more such units are covered in our fuzz pedals section.
