Crazy Tube Circuits Motherload Fuzz/Distortion Effect Pedal

Crazy Tube Circuits Motherload Fuzz/Distortion Effect Pedal
Product no: 9000-0109-3039 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

If you couldn't possibly choose between iconic Rat-style distortion and Muff-style fuzz even if your very life depended on it, then allow the Crazy Tube Circuits Motherload to ease the pain. Aptly named, this all-powerful pedal manages to voice both aforementioned pedals in the space of one stompbox via two independent analogue circuits. Toggle between both sections via the R/M mini-switch, and when flipped into R mode, round off or sharpen the trebles via the filter controls and punch spiky fuzz through the mix by tweaking the tone pot. In M mode, you can even browse through an array of different Muff-style sounds via the Voice pot and when you hit the Link EQ button, all three control pots can be used to dial in both the fuzz and distortion and really drop the sonic Motherload.
