GRIM RIMMER

The Grim Rimmer is a fuzz pedal with a few strange twists- you could call it a harmonic subtraction fuzz! At low gain settings it sounds like a broken speaker, and at higher settings it's a really heavy psychedelic-sounding classic fuzz. Play some leads higher up on the neck, and you'll get a really cool 60's octave fuzz effect. It also acts like a gate, cutting off the lowest-energy signals which means that it will NEVER feed back even with your amp cranked to 11! The most unique feature is the way the circuit treats harmonics- Play single notes and it sounds like a thick fuzz, but if you play chords with lots of open strings and weird intervals you get this strange intermodulated distortion sound, kind of like white noise. You really have to hear it to get it!
