Fuzzrocious Tyrannochorus
Fuzzrocious · pedal
The Fuzzrocious Tyrannochorus is a modulated chorus and gated fuzz combination pedal from Philadelphia's Fuzzrocious Pedals, where a gated fuzz effect sits within the wet loop of a deep, lush chorus circuit. This unique routing produces a chewy, sputtery modulated fuzz character that can range from standard chorus to alien-like modulation with crushing fuzz undertones. A Feedback control takes the chorus from normal operation to chaotic, warped textures. Used in post-rock, shoegaze, experimental, and avant-garde contexts where unconventional modulation and fuzz combinations are desired.
