The EarthQuaker Devices Gary is a modulated fuzz pedal from Akron, Ohio boutique manufacturer EarthQuaker Devices, combining fuzz saturation with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to produce buzzing, oscillating modulated fuzz tones. The PWM modulation creates a buzzing, vibrating quality in the fuzz that adds rhythmic, synthetic character. Controls include Sustain, Volume, Tone, Rate, and Width for shaping the fuzz and PWM modulation character. Named after Gary Crespo, EQD's production manager.
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.
