MXR Sub Machine

The Dream Reaper Fuzz Modulation Machine is packed with quirky features guaranteed to transform your tone. It includes a BIAS knob that controls the effect’s nonlinearity in every mode and REAP knob that controls the intensity of your input while tussling with the oscillations for dominance in Dream mode. It also has two switches: FORCE which engages an inbuilt “pick up emulator” controlled by the Sense knob that emulates your guitar’s tone knob(s) and RANGE which can function both as a frequency range selector and low end capacitor selector.

The Danelectro Cool Cat CF-1 Fuzz is one fuzzy, hairy crunch machine that would fit quite well on a pedalboard geared towards laying on a thick layer of dirt on a guitar signal. This budget-priced pedal serves up fuzz tones with a massive bottom end and tight crunch while letting your guitar’s original tone shine through the mix, whether you’re playing rhythm or blazing through a lead solo. The Danelectro Cool Cat CF-1 Fuzz comes with a true bypass feature.

Despite its name, the Eisenhower Fuzz guitar effect pedal from Danelectro isn’t stately and gentlemanly at all; it’s a balls-to-the-wall octave fuzz effect generator that comes at you like a sledgehammer. Extreme gain coupled with four dedicated control knobs—Volume, Fuzz, Treble, and Bass—and a Flat-Sculpt toggle switch lets you dish out everything from buzzy, old-school fuzz to massive metal tones with a tinge of atonal weirdness. This slim form stompbox doesn’t run on battery juice and needs to be connected to a compatible 9V power supply.
