The Beetronics Buzzter is a transparent clean boost and preamp pedal from the bee-themed boutique Beetronics FX lineup. It delivers a completely uncolored boost with enough gain range to set up two distinct output levels, making it practical for switching between rhythm and lead volumes. A dual-footswitch design enables switching between two preset output levels without bending down to adjust knobs. It can also push the front end of a low-wattage tube amp to produce natural overdrive from the amp itself. Part of Beetronics distinctive steampunk aesthetic lineup.
The Matthews Effects Architect is a multi-channel overdrive pedal from Matthews Effects, providing multiple independently voiced gain channels in a single enclosure designed around a three-stage gain architecture. The Architect is Matthews Effects' flagship overdrive design, offering clean boost, overdrive, and high-gain distortion channels with independent controls and series or bypass switching.
