With the collaboration of Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails,) Malekko Heavy Industries offers the DIABOLIK fuzz pedal!! Based on their B:ASSMASTER circuit, the DIABOLIK features a preset harmonic spectrum setting allowing crisp octave overtones and a very aggressive tone setting.
This pedal features the SQUISH setting, which changes the character of the fuzz with a twist of a potentiometer. A low setting (counterclockwise) will give the fuzz a fast attack. A high setting will allow the effect to slowly swell open into a glorious fuzz roar! The interplay of SQUISH setting and input allows the fuzz to react musically to your performance: single coil, humbuckers, high gain or low gain all change the response and color of the fuzz.
To meed the demands of a talented and versatile Justin Meldal-Johnsen, MHI tuned the low frequency of this signature pedal to allow more low end to pass through both the CLEAN and FUZZ channels. The result is a very heavy low end fuzz!
