The Fuzzrocious 420 Fuzz is a heavy, high-gain fuzz pedal from Mount Laurel, New Jersey-based Fuzzrocious Pedals, hand-built by Ryan Ratajski with aggressive saturation and dense harmonic content suited to heavy rock, stoner metal, doom, and extreme music contexts. Like other Fuzzrocious designs, it emphasizes bold, uncompromising fuzz character with American small-batch construction quality and the distinctive personality that has made Fuzzrocious a respected name in underground and extreme metal pedal circles.
The Tech 21 SansAmp Character Plus Fuzzy Brit is a two-in-one preamp pedal pairing a British-voiced tube amp emulation with a fuzz circuit in a single enclosure, effectively a stompbox within a stompbox. It covers ground from classic hard rock through modern rock, giving the thick, saturated fuzz-into-a-cranked-British-amp pairing that defined late-sixties and seventies lead tone. Like the rest of the Character Plus series it runs as a standalone preamp into a power amp, mixer or interface, or in front of an existing amp for an extra voice. Each side has its own footswitch and controls, so the amp voice and the fuzz can be used separately or stacked. It suits rock, hard rock and stoner players who want an amp-like fuzz platform in pedal form rather than a transparent overdrive.
