ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Mad Professor Fire Red Fuzz Effects Pedal

BJF design versatile fuzz pedal

Hand-made in Finland premium quality fuzz pedal.

Mad Professor Fire Red Fuzz (FRF) is a fuzz pedal that is easy to play with long sustain and lot of tone variations.

The pedal has a compressed, deep effect to allow equal sustain throughout the fretboard.

Tone control was specifically designed to allow tones from mellow fuzz, through slight midcut to thin bright fuzz

The FRF is not another variation of a classic fuzz design but an unique pedal with its own character and extremely versatile Tone control.

It is great for recording different layers of Fuzz tones from haunting dark to cutting thin bright.

What ever setting you use the tone is always very musical and controllable.

Like all Mad Professor pedals FRF is hand made in Finland using only premium components, to give years of trouble free operation with superb musical tone.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Rocktron Third Angel Distortion

Rocktron is well known for outrageous distortion tones, and the Third Angel Distortion stomp box is no exception. Need it ultra heavy? If you seek heavy screaming over-the-top distortion, this is your pedal! Like all Rocktron Boutique Series Stompboxes the Third Angel Distortion is True- Bypass. When the pedal is off, it is out of your signal chain. Your tone remains unaffected!

Control knobs for the Third Angel Distortion include LEVEL which controls the output volume of the box. BASS controls bass level, while TREBLE controls the treble level settings. DECEIVE controls the amount of gain. UNRIGHTEOUS controls the distortion waveform symmetry and definition.

The Third Angel is a fantastic choice to use with tube amps, and works great with solid state amps too. This will provide you with an incredibly heavy sound and mind-blowing tone!

Plug this awesome pedal in and rock the house, rock the club, rock the arena with shockwaves of sound!

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Toadworks Barracuda Analog Flanger Pedal

In the Spring of 1977, millions of music fans rushed home to throw the new Heart album "Little Queen" on their record players. What they heard was one of the most explosive and powerful guitar riffs in the history of Rock & Roll.

The men playing that riff were Howard Leese & Roger Fisher, and the magic behind that sound was a custom-made analog flanger unit. Working closely with Howard Leese, ToadWorks has created an authentic, accurate emulation of the original custom-made flanger used on the 1977 smash-hit "Barracuda".

ToadWorks USA is proud to announce the release of the Howard Leese Signature Model analog flanger, Barracuda.

ToadWorks Barracuda is the ONLY production effect pedal that is designed to reproduce the unique flanger sounds featured on the 1977 Heart classic "Barracuda".

The circuit is a modern interpretation of the original custom unit, with a few exciting changes:

Designed around modern components
Stereo Output
Manual sweep control via an Expression Pedal
Addition of Level and Depth controls
Uses 9V DC power
Improved noise floor
Superior construction

As with all ToadWorks effect pedals, Barracuda ® is wired for true-bypass.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Analogman ARDX20 Dual Analog Delay

From Gearmandude: "The new ARDX-20 from Analog Man. True Bypass, low power consumption, 600ms of delay. Very cool, strong sounding delay, plus, there's two of em! You can set up two different delays and switch between. It's a small footprint too, so it doesn't take up too much room on your board. I really dig the clarity and presence of the repeated sound. I'll be doing another demo using the expression pedal as well. I used a Gibson SG Les Paul and a Dr Z MAZ 18 for the demo."
