The Caroline Guitar Company Icarus V2 is a two-stage boost and overdrive pedal using silicon and Russian germanium components. The first stage delivers a clean, full-response boost suitable for pushing other pedals or an amp input. The second stage uses the combination of silicon and Russian germanium components to produce a light-to-medium overdrive with harmonic richness and vintage transistor character. Versatile as a standalone boost, a standalone overdrive, or a two-stage gain structure. Made by Caroline Guitar Company.
The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini is a compact, mini-enclosure version of the classic Fuzz Face fuzz pedal designed as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, finished in the signature purple associated with the Hendrix estate and catalog.

The Jimi Hendrix signature styling and the iconic two-knob Fuzz Face interface make it a focused tribute to the most celebrated Fuzz Face user in history.
