3 LEFT AND THATS IT FOR 2016!

Ionostrofear 2.5 Fuzz/Crunch/Dynamic Range Expander (aka hi fi boost!)


retail price $199, get this pedal for $145 (Reverb.com exclusive price).

This is a very usable, flexible pedal that can function as a boost, tone control, crunch/brit style distortion, all the way up to full on glitchy or smooth fuzz. this is NOT a "one trick pony" pedal, but a useful tool that should find a permanent place on your pedalboard!

We designed the ionostrofear to take inputs from guitar, bass or even keyboards and add filth, tone shaping, and a fidelity bump to your instrument.

"my fave pedal, its the only pedal i use besides my tuner, and I have it on all the time"
- scott reeder (kyuss, fireball ministry)
"this pedal gets used on everything"
- billy anderson, producer/engineer


Controls:
GAIN: roll this up from 0 and you start getting a little bit of dirt with edge, run it about 9:00 and you start creeping into "metal panel marshall" style crunch up to about 12:00.. beyond that it starts getting hairy scary.
TONE: sick of "meh" tone controls? this control gives you a lot of flexibility just like a well designed amp. we took the best of single knob tone controls (supro/fender/big muff and more) and stuck 'em in a side piped, shag rugged blender to come up with a control that allows you a wide spectrum of sound shaping from sharp crisp treble static-y, to soft vintage warmth. run these controls opposite of what your guitar and amp are boosting for even more fun!
VOL: ever play a non-master volume amp? gain? level? fidelity? "3D notes".. yep.. play around with this and the "GAIN" control to get some inspirational interplay.. and limit or pound the front end of your amp. running this control high will "wake up" a dull or "blanket over the speakers" sounding amp.

This is our 2.5 version of the pedal which has the refinements of our extremely popular 1.0 pedal with some additional tone variation we cooked up from the 2.0 version in a new bold light green case with updated control graphics..

Both the 1.0 and 2.0 pedal runs sold out within a couple of days, so this is an awesome chance to get a nearly unobtainable pedal (finally!) after being in the works for over a year...

did we mention the vintage 70's NOS knobs?

oh, right.
so, we happened upon the motherlode of original "KUSTOM" amplifiers grey front fluted control knobs. unused brand new, still in the wrapper.. we bought them ALL just for these pedals.. as such they are all a bit shelfworn, but possibly the koolest knobs for this pedal. they look perfect with this color scheme and are super nice to use.

-9v operation, either wall wart, or battery power
-protective metal handle control bumpers (ala matamp and orange amplifiers) which we think are really cool, but if you dont want them on your pedal you can request "handle delete" with your order.
-tolex grip strip - genuine hiwatt/matamp/orange pattern NOS white tolex across the top! 

little bit of background: as the curator of the "pedalboard from hell" exhibit which featured hundreds of effects pedals at various gear shows throughout the USA, I personally worked with and demoed virtually every popular boutique and "big manufacturer" distortion and fuzz pedal out there. 5+ years of being "the pedalboard from hell guy" and all the lessons learned went directly into designing this pedal.

have funn,
hovercraft amps
