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 Third Man Records Knife Drop is a boutique fuzz synth pedal from Jack White's Third Man Records hardware line, delivering experimental fuzz and synth-like tonal character with aggressive, unconventional sound processing in Third Man's distinctive aesthetic.
