Stomp

Stomp Effects give you a choice of Models of classic distortions stompboxes, a stomp box-style compressor, and a couple of De-Esser effects designed for taming Sss and Shh sounds that are common when recording vocals.

Facial Fuzz

Sometime in late 1966, an infamous circular stomp box hit the London music scene. Designed and built by Arbiter Music, the Fuzz Face would soon begin its famous association with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. Like all stompboxes from the early era, the Fuzz Face would see many design changes, as well as re-issues. Our model is based on* the germanium diode-powered treasure pictured here: an original, very early “gray with black screening” Arbiter Fuzz Face. Call the Facial Fuzz model up, and treat yourself to our faithful re-creation of the original’s fuzz and glory. Crank up the drive, and you’ll be seeing Purple Haze right before your eyes!

Fuzz Pi

Not to be outdone by the Brits, the colonies came up with their own twist on the fuzz rage. Mike Mathews and his band of merry men at Electro-Harmonix® had been cooking up all sorts of nifty effects when their attention turned to the distortion/fuzz pedal. Their most popular offering was the Electro-Harmonix® Big Muff Pi, which GearBox’s Fuzz Pi model is based on*. The Pi was known more for its sweet sustain than for its buzz.

Screamer

From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Michael Landau, the simple Ibanez® Tube Screamer® is the overdrive heard ‘round the world. This medium-gain pedal was introduced in the early ‘80s, and in many blues circles, you’re not allowed to solo without one. Over the years, Ibanez® issued several variations of the venerable Tube Screamer®, but none have reached the fabled status of the TS-808® that this model is based on*.
