We love a good, simple, one or two-knob fuzz pedal, for sure, but we also love a versatile effect with a ton of options. Today’s featured pedal definitely falls into the latter category, as it is a fuzz full of tones, differing sounds and unique features. The Stone Blender from Red Noise Pedals is an interesting and exciting Fuzz Engine, not just a pedal, that will make you question everything you thought you knew about this genre of effects.
The main section of the Stone Blender is its 4 unique fuzz settings, which are selectable via a 4-way rotary switch. Ranging from classic to modern, tame to wild and more, each has it’s own distinct sound and dynamically shapeability, thanks to the Tone, Fuzz, Vol and De-Clip (Mid) controls. These 4 modes are:
Fuzz #1 (1N60) – Mogwai turns into a furry little biting gremlin with this purry overdrive-like fuzz, offering volume boost and added crunch
Fuzz #2 (1N4148) – Sizzling up top while punching you in the gut, the entire circuit of the Stone Blender is based on the 1990’s Sola Sound Tone Bender. At this setting, you get the classic all time favorite Tone Bender Fuzz
Fuzz #3 (Yellow LED) – Take a walk on your wild side. This animal is loud, aggressive and likes like to snap at its prey before devouring it up
Fuzz #4 (Blue LED) – Planets collide with this out of control extraterrestrial beast. Extremely distorted and high gain, this is full blown madness in your face and, yes, it goes to eleven
The De-Clip control is an excellent addition to the usual controls as well, allowing you to really punch through the mix if need be, and to make the Stone Blender a perfect effects unit for guitar and bass players alike. No shortage of fuzz, power or volume here, folks, this thing is a beast, and he means business. Using NOS transistors and diodes, along with Alpha pots, each pedal is hand made, hand wired, individually numbered, tested and hand painted right in Atlanta, GA. A fuzz like few we’ve encountered before, the Stone Blender is set to take the world by storm. You heard it here first, folks….well, maybe not, but be sure to hear it RIGHT NOW in our demo video below, and check out Red Noise Pedals’ website, too!
