Stomp

Stomp Effects give you a choice of Models of classic distortions stompboxes, a stomp box-style

compressor, and a couple of De-Esser effects designed for taming Sss and Shh sounds that are common

when recording vocals.

Facial Fuzz

Sometime in late 1966, an infamous circular stomp box hit the London

music scene. Designed and built by Arbiter Music, the Fuzz Face would

soon begin its famous association with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. Like

all stompboxes from the early era, the Fuzz Face would see many design

changes, as well as re-issues. Our model is based on* the germanium

diode-powered treasure pictured here: an original, very early “gray with

black screening” Arbiter Fuzz Face. Call the Facial Fuzz model up, and

treat yourself to our faithful re-creation of the original’s fuzz and glory.

Crank up the drive, and you’ll be seeing Purple Haze right before your

eyes!

Fuzz Pi

Not to be outdone by the Brits, the colonies came up with

their own twist on the fuzz rage. Mike Mathews and his band

of merry men at Electro-Harmonix® had been cooking up

all sorts of nifty effects when their attention turned to the

distortion/fuzz pedal. Their most popular offering was the

Electro-Harmonix® Big Muff Pi, which GearBox’s Fuzz Pi

model is based on*. The Pi was known more for its sweet

sustain than for its buzz.

Screamer

From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Michael Landau, the simple Ibanez® Tube

Screamer® is the overdrive heard ‘round the world. This medium-gain pedal

was introduced in the early ‘80s, and in many blues circles, you’re not allowed

to solo without one. Over the years, Ibanez® issued several variations of the

venerable Tube Screamer®, but none have reached the fabled status of the

TS-808® that this model is based on*.
