The Sound of Justice FX Star-Lord
The Sound Of Justice Fx · pedal
The Sound of Justice FX names this release Star-Lord after the Marvel superhero, and its fuller original listing title describes it as a heavily experimental, corrupted treble boost, suggesting a circuit that pushes the classic treble boost format into unstable, glitchy territory rather than a clean, well-mannered top-end lift. Traditional treble boosters, historically associated with players like Brian May and Tony Iommi in their early careers, simply emphasize high frequencies to help a guitar cut through a mix, but the corrupted framing here implies deliberate instability or unpredictable saturation layered on top of that basic function. Small experimental builders often use language like this specifically to signal a circuit designed to misbehave in interesting, musically useful ways.
