The Crimsontone Amps Crimsontone Rosso Fuzz is a silicon-based fuzz pedal that can also be used as an overdrive. It uses 3-stage gain circuitry, and its Gain knob covers a wide sweep of dirt tones, from a warm, articulate overdrive when dialed back to a full-on wall of sustained fuzz when cranked1.
What it does
The Rosso sits in the fuzz family but reaches into overdrive territory. Pedal of the Day's reviewer, Mike B, described the Gain control as having "a ton of range, and can do a wonderfully warm and articulate overdrive when dialed back, a full-on wall of sustained fuzz when cranked, and many, many variations in between"1.
"a small but looming powerhouse of a fuzz, with excellent tones, a great EQ section and a bunch of different dirt sounds"
On how it treats the guitar's own voice, the reviewer said: "I love that it's so dynamic in tone, while remaining true to your guitar's tone, with just a rich, fuzzy cover to beef up your sound"1.
Background
The Rosso Fuzz is a silicon-based fuzz pedal from Crimsontone, and the maker describes it as one that "can be used doubly as an overdrive, too," so it can cover both fuzz and overdrive duties on a board1.
