The Blessed Mother Overdrive from Heather Brown Electronicals was one of the hottest pedals of last year, and one of our favorites as well. Then, Heather released a 2nd incarnation, the Fuzz Assumption, which was just as amazing, but with a little more bite to it. Today, we bring to you the third effect in this lineup, one which combines both Overdrive AND Fuzz, but can’t really be classified as either…take a journey with us as we explore the Sensation Fuzzdrive, won’t you?
The Sensation Fuzzdrive is as unique as it is versatile. It attempts to bring out the best of both worlds by blending punchiness and warmth, without sacrificing body or getting too “fizzy”. At its core, it’s a tool to push your signal hard without the chaos. It goes from fuzzy low-end to crisp overdriven mids, sure to make a screaming solo really jump out in a mix. The fuzz aspect provides just enough compression to smooth out the breakup. But don’t be mistaken, the end result is anything but smooth. Even as a single-stage drive, this pedal can provide a crushing amount of gain.
Tone-shaping is achieved through three distinct transistor-based gain stages controlled by the “Saturator,” with an additional gain switch providing hi/low options. There are three tuned settings for mids-presence and another three for bass-presence. These functions expand your range and maximize precision. Whether at home or in a variety of live and studio environments, the Sensation Fuzzdrive will be a welcome addition to your rig.
The high gain tones here are excellent, but the lower gain settings are what really drew us in. Adding a super-unique blend of overdrive and fuzz to your sound makes any amp or rig come alive, pushing boundaries without over-pummeling eardrums. The EQ switches make it easy to quickly experiment with new tones, and there’s all the gain you could want on tap, just in case. Cheers as always to Heather Brown Electronicals on yet another distinct, unclassifiable circuit that is welcome across all genres of music. Be sure to head to her website for more info and to order one for yourself…right after you check out our demo video on YouTube. Have a great weekend!
