Cusack Music Subfuzz

Cusack Music · pedal

The Cusack Music Subfuzz is a sub-octave fuzz pedal from the US boutique manufacturer Cusack Music, combining fuzz saturation with a sub-octave signal that adds massive sub-bass frequency content to the guitar tone. The sub-octave generator creates a frequency one octave below the input signal, adding enormous low-end weight to the fuzz character. Particularly effective for bass guitar players and guitarists seeking bass-frequency augmentation in a fuzz context. Made in the USA by Cusack Music.
