the Mellowtone Wolf Computer.


This pedal is getting some buzz lately, I don't know where to get one or how much it costs but there are plenty of youtube videos that demonstrate the amazingness. I was doubtful when someone told me it is better than zvex fuzz factory, but the videos show that pretty much , yes. It comes down to havign TWO crazy not-so-predictable control knobs, bias and sag, where as most crazy fuzz boxes only have one crazy knob. It really excels at those cheesy videogame sounds, where the attack of your guitar turns into simple octave-fifth variant arpeggios. I think the folks at Mellowtone have coined the phrase "motorboating," for a self oscillation setting where playing guitar sounds very similat to accelerating a motor boat; which is previously a totally undesirable tone but now that you call it motorboating... I want it!(?)

...oh and it can do tasteful/expected overdrive and fuzz sounds too.

and some videos:

1 a pretty in depth demo of the wolf computer deluxe(same pedal, just has an extra booster at the end)... if you stay tuned for (or skip to) the end there is a bonus extra noise the pedal can make.


and then this video is kind of annoying how it is not a real video and actual settings are not shown, but it does have some more examples of sounds wolf computer can make
