The Dophix Perseo is an Italian boutique overdrive pedal from Florence-based Dophix, named after the Greek hero Perseus and continuing the brand tradition of mythological and Renaissance Italian naming conventions. Hand-built in Italy using premium analog components, the Perseo delivers a focused, energetic overdrive character suited to rock, blues rock, and lead guitar applications. It targets players who value artisan construction and a refined drive voice over mainstream pedal options, and shares the brand characteristics of warm tone, dynamic response, and boutique component quality common to all Dophix products.
The Fortin Amplification Tempest is a high-output overdrive pedal created in collaboration with Architects guitarists Adam Christianson and Josh Middleton, designed as a versatile overdrive and boost solution for studio, practice, and live use. The Tempest is designed to push any amplifier into the high-gain territory that Architects's modern metal sound requires, functioning as both a standalone overdrive and a precision front-end boost into a high-gain head. Its high output ensures effective amplifier saturation enhancement across diverse amp configurations.
