The Skreddy Pink Flesh is a fuzz pedal from Skreddy Pedals, an early design from the maker that Skreddy describes as intended to get a Gilmour tone. The maker characterizes its sound as smooth, intense, sustaining distortion, and the circuit is a Big Muff style design with more mids than a typical Big Muff, which is the usual complaint about that circuit for lead playing1.
The Pink Flesh is built to order by Skreddy, and the maker's product page gives a current wait time of "approximately 2 weeks to 1 month"1.
Where it came from
Designer Marc (Skreddy) traces the pedal to a specific request: "I actually designed this pedal in response to Joe Perry's tech guy asking for a Big Muff. I made it with more mids than" a typical Big Muff. That midrange lift is the design's distinguishing point, since a stock Big Muff style fuzz tends to scoop the mids in a way that can get lost in a band mix1.
