The Babbling Flower is a fuzz pedal from TSVG, a boutique company based in Philadelphia. It was announced in April 2013 as one of two new fuzzes the builder was introducing at the time1.
Its standout feature is a second footswitch that engages what TSVG calls fuzz thickness, letting a player switch between the pedal's base fuzz sound and a thicker version of it mid-song without touching a knob1.
What it does
As a fuzz, the Babbling Flower sits in the family of pedals that clip the signal hard for a saturated, sustaining distortion character. What sets it apart from most one-switch fuzzes is the second footswitch: press it and the pedal thickens the fuzz, giving two distinct levels of grit from one box. That arrangement suits players who want a rhythm-and-lead style jump within a single pedal rather than stacking a second fuzz on the board1.
TSVG described the pedal as built with high quality components like the ones used in great vintage amps and effects of old, while still keeping the price modest1.
