We have been fortunate enough over the last few years to have reviewed the entire lineup of effects from Ninevolt Pedals, and the crew behind those affordable and excellent-sounding pedals are back with another lineup and a different name. The Rust Rod Fuzz from Animals Pedal is the first of 5 pedals from this company that we will be reviewing and demoing, and this one started off the tour with a bang! Designed by Skreddy Pedals, this pink powerhouse gives you fuzz and then some more fuzz, followed by a big dash of fuzz…
Modeled after the sounds produced by ’70s Ram’s Head Big Muff pedals, the Rust Rod has thick, gooey fuzz tones at virtually any setting. The distortion produced by the simple Volume, Tone and Sustain controls is quite impressive, with aggressive yet clear tones without the mid scoop some fuzzes tend to produce. The compressed sound makes your amplifier come alive, with a warmer, more inviting and classic sound than a lot of modern fuzz pedals. Plug in, turn on and you’ll have an awesome sound in less than a minute, guaranteed…unless you don’t like fuzz, of course.
Keeping in line with the Ninevolt lineup, the Rust Rod Fuzz features an interesting graphic design and a bright, not-to-be-missed pink enclosure. Using a standard 9v power supply or battery, and featuring a smaller-than-usual size, it will fit in anywhere you need to add some fuzzy dirt sounds to your rig. Cheers to the crew from Animals Pedal for sending their gear our way – keep your eye out in the coming weeks for more reviews and demos for the rest of their effects, check out their website and go visit Skreddy Pedals while you’re at it, too!
