Emmergy FX Dial-Up Filter Fuzz

The Emmergy FX Dial-Up Filter Fuzz is a two-in-one pedal from the UK maker Emmergy FX that combines a fuzz with a filter and an overdrive circuit in one enclosure. Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio described it as "a playful fuzz + filter pedal that will lead the player as easily to sonic discovery or aural disintegration," producing "sounds from the fuzzy to the synthy to the gnarly and weird"¹. It is a variant of the maker's Dial-Up Fuzz; De Gregorio wrote that it "takes the already crazy Dial-Up Fuzz to the next level of tone discovery and destruction"¹.

What it does

The pedal is split into two independent sides, each with its own footswitch¹:

• Left side: an overdrive circuit with Volume and Gain controls. At high Gain settings it can deliver fuzzy tones of its own, so it works as a conventional overdrive until pushed further¹.
• Right side: a fuzz with a filter, which is where De Gregorio found the pedal most interesting. The filter side is what pushes the sound toward the synthy, gnarly and weird territory he described¹.

Players looking at this pedal will find it sits between a straight fuzz and a filter pedal, combining both in one box alongside a usable overdrive¹.
