EarthQuaker Devices has just unveiled a compact solution for nailing LCD Soundsystem’s gnarly fuzzed-out bass guitar sounds, teaming up with James Murphy himself to make a replica of his beat-up, vintage fuzz pedal you have most definitely heard on record and on the radio.
The pedal is called the Chelsea Low End Fuzz Driver, and it takes its name from the guitar store that Murphy first bought the pedal in 1989. It takes a lot of the sound of that original pedal, too, a “one of a kind” stompbox that maybe should have swapped out long ago and put it to pasture – only it sounded too good.
