New Heavy Electronics Radio Havana Grind Fuzz Custom Double PedalFresh from the Heavy Electronics custom shop! We ordered this one special for you and had it decked out in the traditional Centaur black and red to boot! We've long been fans of both of these fuzzes and now they're in the same pedal!
The Grind fuzz is a discrete fuzz/overdrive hybrid that creates a massive growl that boasts plenty of fuzz and sustain but allows tighter definition of chords and arpeggios. Thundering fuzz drive at full gain and warm sweet nuances at low gain. Especially transparent and fair-handed to guitars and excellent impedence response with Wahs.
"Swell" function adds high-end gain and harmonics and becomes dynamic-compressive at high gain. At full gain this effect can often sound like a slowly moving EQ (dark to bright) triggered each time you strike the strings. Absolutely superb for slow bends.
Side-adjust voltage pot can be adjusted with a pick to drop voltage and sag the entire circuit itself. In subtle use it can be used to lighlty compress the treble side of the fuzz. In extreme the pedal can become almost gated and unpredictable.
The Radio Havana breaks tonal conformity and pronounces a tone reminiscent of a small transistor radio. Tinny with washed frequencies, and very responsive to pickup choices and string manipulation. The center "disorder" knob can be used by willling hands to dial in any amount of clipping decay desired, exposing a characeristic static appeal. This discrete engineered pedal loves to find the odd frequencies and push them to the forefront (especially at higher gain). Perfect for breakdowns and artistic expressions of decay. Exciting applications for less traditional instruments and perfect for that scratchy-throated bass tone. An official cult-classic in the making.
Is it even safe to have both of these in one box? It would take a scientist to say for sure...
