Blueish/greenish - yellow outline ram’s head print

(Small batch - up until they're gone)

Someone once told me If I had only said that you can nail The Smiths, How Soon Is Now? with this pedal it would have said everything but here's a product description anyways...

 

If you like the rolling growl of a good sustained overdrive, imagine having a bed of tremmed-out fuzz to lay it on. What if you could then fine-tune or sequence that wavy overdrive sound? Or maybe you want a cutting fuzz mixed in with that crisp clean so when it’s time to hit your boost, there’s another layer of grit adding subtle turbulence to those juicy amp sky tones. That’s the dream behind the Spirit in the Sky - a boost that allows you to create texture underneath.


So what is this pedal?? An optical tremolo? Correct. A fuzz (Ram’s Head)? Correct. A fuzz in parallel with a lush, fat, sustainy JFET boost? Correct. It’s hard to classify a pedal that can be a warm surfy tremolo one minute and a face-melting fuzz the next. It’s really the range of nuanced textures that make this thing sweet. Whether sustained ambient drones or sliced-up, pulsating throbs, you’ll find yourself in the smooth highs of a celestial universe. 


- Parallel boost/fuzz - controls include: gain—boost // tone and sustain—fuzz // blend

- Analog optical tremolo - controls include: rate, shape (square to sine wave), and depth

- Flow toggle (A/Bs the tremolo to either post-fuzz or post-boost)

- Tremolo on/off stomp switch

- Master on/off stomp switch (affects the tremolo as well)

- 9 volts standard center negative 

- 13mA draw

A work of art in its own right!

Upon first look, the design and fine crafting are undeniable! Aesthetically pleasing, it is a victory for both form and function. As for the function: Starting up is quick and easy, especially with the clear and concise path put forward by [****], which is very helpful for picking up on the many uses this versatile pedal has to offer. This fuzz/tremolo unit offers many player (and listener!) friendly sounds (plural!) and a wider array of options than most; but not so many as to overwhelm the user, causing one to play the pedal, not the instrument. They are about giving the user control over their own sound, not for gimmicks or novelty. It's all about creating art for the player, because HB has already taken care of the science! Thank you HB! For those wondering about the fuzz, this is as good as one can hope to find! It has the fullness and depth that many promise but few can deliver. Seemingly tangible textures and tones for both low (bass) and high (treble) end alike, which blend together as smoothly as one would like. They blend, but you standout! Whether using neck or bridge pickups, single coil or humbucker, there are settings (plural again!) for each. Stomp and strum players are welcome here! For those of us who constantly change and adjust settings throughout a session, this offers plenty of options to scratch that itch as well. As for the tremolo, I hadn't really used one much prior to this, but now I can't imagine going without it! If you're not already a fan, it will make you one too! (... one of us... one of us...). It's clear from the start this is a rarity well worth the investment. Thank you again HB for keeping it affordable! Whether searching for your first pedal (you will be spoiled!), or looking to expand your board (and if you don't have this, you need to expand!) this pedal will fill that void. This is a device that will help foster the creative spirit, and inspire the user to actually get out there and make art happen, which is an admirable goal, but an even more striking achievement. All of which adds up to why it can stake a claim to being a work of art in its own right! PS: 2 day shipping really does mean 2 day shipping here! :)

A brilliant combination

Adding a blend control and a tremolo to a fuzz is a genius idea. It gives you lots of new tones from very subtle harmonic backgrounds to wild modulated distortion. One of my favourites this year.

Worth every penny!

The pedal is solidly built and looks and sounds fantastic. Timothy Allen (see review below) summed it up perfectly. It isn't just a fuzz or a tremolo it's something new and different. If you are thinking about purchasing this but still on the fence check out some of the reviews on Youtube. You'll be amazed at what it can do. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Keep innovating Heather. Look forward to what you have coming next!
