The Dwarfcraft Devices Silver Rose V2 is a fuzz pedal built around two circuits in one box: a version of the classic Superfuzz circuit combined with a Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder. Premier Guitar's coverage of the 2015 release described it as "the fuzz pedal to end all fuzz pedals," with an MSRP of $350 at launch1. The pedal carries the Silver Rose name from Devi Ever FX, whose original Silver Rose Dwarfcraft reworked for this version12.
What it does
The V2's central feature is the mixing of three distinct signals. In Dwarfcraft's own words, "The effortless mixing of 3 distinct signals allows for brand new sounds as well as familiar combinations that used to require multiple pedals"1. Each side brings its own character: the Superfuzz side covers "old school Superfuzz tones, from raspy classic rock to a mid-scooped doomy fuzz," while the Eau Claire Thunder side is warm and wooly with plenty of aggressive distortion on tap1.

Controls and features the release highlighted:
- An EQ giving +/- 10db on both treble and bass1
- An auxiliary clean output for signal splitting1
- A clean blend with discrete volume control, added for bass players1
The original Devi Ever FX Silver Rose also carried a Mids switch on its right side, which reviewer Mike B at Pedal of the Day said "helps produce some dark and dirty overtones when flipped"2.

Questions
Is the Dwarfcraft Devices Silver Rose V2 still in production?
No. Dwarfcraft Devices announced in April 2020 that it was ceasing operations after 13 years, with Ben and Louise Hinz taking a break to try something new. The Silver Rose V2 was released in 2015, so surviving units are secondhand only.
Is the Silver Rose V2 good for bass?
Dwarfcraft added a clean blend with a discrete volume control specifically for bass players, and the pedal also has an auxiliary clean output for signal splitting. That lets you keep low end intact under the fuzz.
