September Sound. For those who thought they knew what a big muff was or could be. Tate-san is here to change your mind. @september_sound #mindblown #septembersound #bigmuff #ramshead #violetta

Friends… if you are not currently in queue for one of these absolute beasts by @charliepedals you are making a grave error in judgment. Get it sorted. 🙏 @rrsgtrslinger @mikeymanville #tonebendermki #tonebender #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #charliepedals

All the aggression of a MKI, but never needs to catch its breath. Low mid and straight mid focus, much longer sustain than you would expect, and just gets angrier as it’s pushed. This one won’t back down and never loses itself. Great texture with wide intervals and harmonic shapes. At times it almost wants to be a full tilt distortion box. Insane. #fz678 #audiomodifier #differentialaudiomanifestationz #tonebender #fuzzpedalsofinstagram

Adventures with gain structure. When the training wheels are taken off, what will you do? Incredible builds by two modern day masters. @organicsounds_custompedals @stevewilliamspigdog #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #pigdogpedals #organicsounds #buzzaroundfuzz #fuzzbound #orgaround

This one took a while to click for me and find its place. Raw, untamed, noisy artifacts and a little unpredictable. Then I paired it with something a bit off center, and it became immediately musical to my ears. Surprising textures, harmonic content, a great swell and bloom inside the sweep of the flanger. Absolutely inspiring. #pigdogpedals #chaseblissaudio #fz1 #fuzzpedals

Another pairing of brilliant builds, and very different takes. PigDog with a characteristic high mid growl and immediacy in the attack… sustain balanced with aggression, top end sizzle and artifacts in the decay. DAM has an unbelievable low end and low mid push… drop a step and open chords make you straighten your back at attention, clarity and roundness to the single notes and a subtle bloom as things speed up. Both share incredible note separation… high strings coming through with everything ringing. Best of the best.

A design over 70 years old, and it’s hard to argue with the sounds this combination of hardware can create. @callahamguitars @bareknucklepickupsofficial

Violent. That is the description. Tubes melting, guitar struggling to catch its breath, note bloom that sounds like a sonic implosion. I honestly don’t know if it cleans up well, or has good picking dynamics, because it inspires you to play as loudly and aggressively as you can, the entire time. Dimed. Violent. Incredible. #fuzzfriday #dizzytone #blackstrapelectrik #oc45 #hatchjaw #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #stompboxes @blackstrap_electrik

A friend reminded me today that all these pedals are instruments all themselves, like any guitar or amp, and each has a color or texture to be found within. The good ones let you know right away they are not just another dirt box. #stoneflyeffects #earthsoundresearch #strangethingsareafootatthecirclek #fuzzpedalsofinstagram @stonefly_effects

Black & Golds for this #fuzzfriday A lesson in approaches to the MKI circuit, and the ranges that can be found within. One with an aggressive top end and immediate attack, the other warm and open with a smooth sustain. Amazing stuff. #differentialaudiomanifestationz #pigdogpedals #oc75 #2g374 #2g371 #germaniumfuzz #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #tonebendermki

Here’s something rarely seen in the wild… or outside a museum. Monteleone, considered by many the upper bound of craftsmanship and luthiery. #archtopguitar #monteleoneguitars #luthier

Starting off the weekend right… strong coffee and sonic destruction courtesy of @proco_sound and @september_sound. #notareissue #whitefacerat #septembersound #vintagepedals #damicocoffee

Looks like this is the week for this particular Fuzz Friday family photo opp. @macaris_official you’ve outdone yourself on the collaboration with @boss_jpn . Exceeded all my expectations, great pedal and addition to the rig. #fuzz #fuzzfriday #solasound #tonebender #tonebendermkii #dampedals #differentialaudiomanifestationz

Thanks for all of it, Dad. Miss you old man.

Late entry for Fuzz Friday… vintage and rarely seen in mixed company, the Arbiter Doubler. #garyhurst #cbsarbiter #cbsarbiterdoubler #fuzzfriday #vintagegear #fuzzpedals

Sometimes your friends let you take a few laps with the real deal. 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard straight into a 1969 Marshall JMP. #holygrail #gibsunday #gibsonlespaul #burst #gibsonburst #marshallvintage #marshallamplification
