The Death By Audio Soundwave Breakdown is a fuzz and distortion pedal from the Brooklyn boutique manufacturer, providing harmonically complex, aggressive saturation with the creative and extreme design philosophy characteristic of the Death By Audio lineup. Covers intense fuzz and distortion territory with the innovative signal processing approach that defines the DBA brand. Made in Brooklyn, New York by Death By Audio.
The Fjord Fuzz FJAER (Norwegian for feather) is a fuzz pedal from Norwegian boutique maker Fjord Fuzz, with its name suggesting a lighter, more delicate character compared to the heavier models in the Fjord Fuzz lineup. Fjord Fuzz builds handmade boutique fuzz pedals in Norway, each with a distinct character and Norse or Norwegian-language naming. The FJAER fuzz may deliver a lighter, more controlled fuzz texture compared to the heavier and more aggressive Berserk, suited to blues, lighter rock, or vintage fuzz applications where a subtler fuzz weight is preferred.
