Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Death By Audio Crossover Fuzz is a dual-band filter-fuzz pedal from the Brooklyn, New York boutique builder, splitting the guitar signal into high and low frequency bands and applying DBA aggressive fuzz saturation to each independently. A Freq control sweeps two analog resonant filters in tandem, enabling surgical frequency carving or chaotic oscillating madness. The result is a screaming, swirling fuzz that can produce conventional heavy fuzz tones alongside experimental, resonant, filter-modulated textures. Suited for experimental rock, noise, psychedelic, and players seeking unconventional fuzz tones beyond vintage circuits.
The Subdecay Noise Theory is a parallel waveshaper fuzz pedal, processing the signal through parallel waveshaping circuitry to create complex, layered fuzz textures beyond a standard single-path fuzz circuit. Reflecting Subdecay's reputation for experimental, characterful boutique effects, it's aimed at players wanting unconventional, texturally rich fuzz tones rather than a classic vintage-style fuzz voicing.
