FruitFX Pedals has announced the Melon Cube Synth Fuzz, a guitar pedal built around a pulse-width modulator circuit. Delicious Audio reported the launch on December 16, 2025, and Pedal of the Day covered it on December 13, 2025.

The pedal applies square-wave generation to guitar, a circuit Delicious Audio describes as more commonly associated with synthesizers¹. Pedal of the Day calls the correct term a pulse width modulator (PWM) and says the pedal turns guitar into a square wave². Both describe a blend of fuzz and synth-style tones: Delicious Audio places the result between an aggressive fuzz and the chiptune-like timbres of early digital synthesis, with sounds from thick synthetic walls to eight-bit lead voices¹. Pedal of the Day describes thick walls of fuzz and old-school video game style leads².

The controls are five knobs. A Shape knob sets the square wave's width, which Delicious Audio calls the core parameter defining its harmonic character, and Juice acts as a voltage starve that lets the effect collapse into a more conventional fuzz texture¹. Level, Tone and signal-gating controls complete the interface¹. Pedal of the Day describes the Gate as giving short bursts of sound with dead silence on the other end, and says Shape and Juice work well together².

The Melon Cube is hand-assembled in Long Beach, California¹. Neither report gives a price or a ship date.

The Melon Cube sits alongside other synth pedals in the effects market.
