“I wanted to create something that could be stacked with other pedals or played on its own, something that wasn’t just another clone”: Wampler Pedals promises classic fuzz sounds and glitchy madness too from the all-original Cryptid Fuzz

Wampler Cryptid Fuzz.

Wampler Pedals has unveiled a new fuzz pedal for players who are tired of clones, who will entertain the idea of summoning some gated, Velcro-ripping magick from their pedalboard, but at the same time are not quite ready to forego classic Muff, Tone Bender and Fuzz Face sounds.

It’s called the Cryptid Fuzz, and Brian Wampler – a man who admitted to MusicRadar that he will often build himself a circuit for his own amusement – describes it as “the culmination of everything I’ve ever wanted in a fuzz pedal”.
