Hungry Robot The Collective
Hungry Robot · pedal
The Hungry Robot Collective packs three separate fuzz circuits into one enclosure, combinable rather than merely switchable, and routes them through a two-band state-variable filter and a chaotic feedback loop. Beyond the external controls there are more than a dozen internal trim parameters, which places it firmly at the experimental end of fuzz rather than as a single-voice pedal.
