The Saint Doom Fuzz Pedal v2.0 is a compact analog fuzz pedal from Vein-Tap.com, a maker of boutique fuzz effects. Version 2.0 adds Tone and Volume controls to the original's single Doom knob, and the maker describes its approach as "full analogue circuitry, affordability, and simplicity". The first version proved popular: Vein-Tap.com says "Saint Doom is by far our most popular fuzz pedal, and stock ran out fast for v1.0."1
The three controls: Doom, Tone and Volume
Version 2.0's main change over v1.0 is its control layout. Where the first version had a simple Doom control, v2.0 "boasts three controls: Doom, Tone and Volume, rather than v1.0's simple Doom control."1
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Doom | Sets the amount and character of the fuzz, from a crunchy early 70s rock tone to a full modern noisewall1 |
| Tone | Shapes the treble response of the fuzz1 |
| Volume | Sets the pedal's output level1 |
The Doom control is the heart of the pedal. Vein-Tap.com describes its range this way: "Backing this control off gives you a relatively crunchy, early 70s, Hendrix-type rock tone, cranking it gives a full, modern, bass-laden noisewall Doom."1 In practice that means one knob covers everything from touch-sensitive overdriven rock, the territory of overdrive pedals and distortion pedals, up to the saturated wall of sound doom players look for in a fuzz.
Circuit, bypass and power
The Saint Doom is an analog pedal. Vein-Tap.com's reasoning is straightforward: "Analogue circuitry gives a warm, soulful response that digital modelling can only emulate."1
It is wired with True Bypass footswitch circuitry, so the fuzz circuit is taken completely out of the signal path when the pedal is off.1
Power comes from a standard, center-negative supply, the same type used by Boss or EHX effects. The maker says the pedal "can be happily daisy-chained" with other pedals on a shared supply, which is good news for anyone running a one-output-per-pedal brick or a simple daisy-chain cable.1
The Saint Doom Fuzz Pedal v2.0 is a small box at 92 × 38 × 32 mm and 0.25 kg, so it fits easily on a crowded board.1
