Exodus/Slayer Guitarist Gary Holt on the Doomsaw Guitar Pedal: “It’s going on the pedalboard for SURE!” – 2022 – Does It Doom

Gary Holt: Getting in rich with my inner doom thanks to Does It Doom and their Doomsaw pedal. This thing is sick, and it has one knob, labeled “grief”! LOVE IT! It’s going on the pedalboard for SURE!🤘🏻❗️🤘🏻

A gruesome single knob adaptation of the dimed HM-2 chainsaw circuit, we’ve taken the classic death metal tone and tailored it to modern doom, sludge, and drone metal.

Thundering lows, punishing mids, and that unmistakable chainsaw grind, the Doomsaw is a visceral device designed specifically for downtuned guitar and bass.

Kirk Hammett: Whassup ??? ⚡️Coming Soon 4.1.22 All signs point to Wah …

Kirk Hammett: Here it is! Some of you guessed it immediately, but I am so proud to be working with Jim Dunlop on this pedal.

Randy Bachman: Joe Webster asked about my pedals. The most important are the two blue Roland Blues, top left. I use the first for American Woman. A guy in Florida mods them for a heavier sound but they’re great as-is. The rest are boosters.

MXR Octavio Fuzz Guitar Pedal

Jim Dunlop: What’s your favorite octave up fuzz track?

Chances are, it was recorded with an Octavio Fuzz pedal. Made famous by Jimi Hendrix, the Octavio Fuzz sound and its touch-responsive saturation continue to be employed by modern players across genres.

For the first time ever, that iconic effect has joined the MXR standard line. Explore the furthest reaches of silicon saturation in a trusted vessel. Get yourself an MXR Octavio Fuzz.

The Octavio fuzz pedal is infamous for contributing to Jimi Hendrix’s signature, incendiary lead tone. The silicon saturation and octave-up behavior of the pedal adds a wash of vibrant upper-harmonic content to the signal for a scorching, synth-like sound that’s unlike any other fuzz effect. Joining the MXR standard line for the first time, the Octavio is rehoused in an ultra-sturdy metal chassis. Its simple two-knob design belies its wide-ranging capacity for shaping tones. The power of the Octavio lies in its interaction with electronics, and, depending on your guitar and amp settings, it can become a completely different monster: warm and wooly, bright and brash, sludgy and droning and so much more.

MXR Octavio Fuzz Pedal Features:
-Unique octave-up fuzz pedal made famous by Jimi Hendrix
-Adds a wash of vibrant upper harmonics to the fuzz signal
-Simple two-knob design contains a huge range of tone-shaping possibilities
-Equipped with an On/Bypass LED indicator and AC power jack
-Housed in a rugged all-metal chassis

Fender Smolder Acoustic Overdrive Guitar Pedal – Setup – Tutorial – Purchase

Fender:  Smolder Overdrive solves the acoustic guitarist’s dilemma of unruly distortion feedback at higher volumes. It smooths out unwanted sonic characteristics, resulting in a natural-sounding overdrive that plays nice with acoustic amps and PA systems. PURCHASE

Scroll through the clips below.

ORIGINAL DESIGN—FENDER TONE
It’s tough to add overdrive to acoustic guitars—not only can it sound un-musical, it can also cause tone-destroying feedback. Designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments, the all-analog Smolder® Acoustic Overdrive elegantly solves these issues with Fender know-how. To soften the bright attack of a piezo pickup we included a Pickup Compensation control that smooths out the highs. The Drive knob controls the amount of distortion, while 3-band EQ and Filter controls let you shape your sound to taste. We even included cabinet simulation to add some flavor when plugged into a full-range acoustic amp or PA.

Designed by our in-house team of experts, the Smolder® Acoustic Overdrive is an all-original Fender circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The switchable LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance.

FEATURES
Acoustic distortion pedal
Pickup Compensation control
Drive control
3-band EQ and Filter controls
Onboard cabinet simulation
