Description

The Cusack Music Subfuzz is a sub-octave fuzz pedal from the US boutique manufacturer Cusack Music, combining fuzz saturation with a sub-octave signal that adds massive sub-bass frequency content to the guitar tone. The sub-octave generator creates a frequency one octave below the input signal, adding enormous low-end weight to the fuzz character. Particularly effective for bass guitar players and guitarists seeking bass-frequency augmentation in a fuzz context. Made in the USA by Cusack Music.

The Death By Audio BassWar is a bass-specific distortion pedal from the Brooklyn boutique manufacturer, delivering aggressive, high-gain distortion character specifically voiced for the bass guitar frequency range. Provides intense, harmonically saturated distortion with the low-end weight and definition appropriate for aggressive bass in heavy rock and metal contexts. Part of the Death By Audio Brooklyn boutique lineup of extreme and creative effects. Made in Brooklyn, New York by Death By Audio.
