Dunable Guitars and Damnation Audio Dunable Splatterblaster Stereo Fuzz Distortion

The Splatterblaster is a stereo fuzz and distortion pedal developed by Dunable Guitars and Damnation Audio. It carries two separate channels of dirt, one fuzzy and one distorted, that can be blended together or run to two different outputs, which means a player can send each channel to its own amp or pedal chain. Pedal of the Day, reviewing it in October 2020, called it "truly unlike any other pedal we've seen in our 7 years"¹.

Two channels of dirt

The pedal's layout is built around its two sides. The Splatter side is a fuzz based on a classic superfuzz circuit, while the Blaster side is a distortion with a range of sounds the review describes as running from shoegaze to death metal to Pink Floyd¹. Because the two channels can be blended, the pedal covers what Pedal of the Day describes as "Light Grit to Grind to Sludge, Stereogaze to Gnarly to Heavy & Noisy, and everything in between"¹. For players comparing it against single-channel fuzz pedals or distortion pedals, the stereo outputs and the ability to run both channels at once are what set it apart.

Controls

Splatter side

• Level: sets the output¹
• Boost: sets the amount of boost¹
• Splatter: controls your gain
• Tone toggle: switches between 2 differing tonal structures¹

Blaster side

• Level: sets the output volume¹
• Blast: controls your distortion amount¹
• Low and High: a 2-band EQ section¹
• 0/180 toggle: flips the phase of the circuit¹

The phase toggle on the Blaster side is worth noting for players running both channels or stacking the pedal with other dirt: flipping phase changes how the Blaster side interacts with the signal it is combined with¹.

Running it stereo

The headline feature is the stereo operation. Pedal of the Day wrote that the pedal "finally lets you run 2 different channels of dirt to 2 different outputs," and stressed that it "doesn't just feature 2 outputs" but two genuinely separate channels behind them¹. In practice that means the Splatter fuzz can feed one amp while the Blaster distortion feeds another, or both can be blended down to a single mono output if a player prefers.
