New pedals are an exciting part of NAMM every year — pedals like the “Plush” line by Fuchs Audio are the microbrews of the guitar pedal world. There’s a real handcrafted feel and a unique flavor to pedals like these.
Fuchs just unveiled three new stompboxes at NAMM 2014. Check ’em out.
Blues Flame
Phone Tone
The Phone Tone is designed for guitar, but of course you could always find other uses in the studio — vocals could of course benefit from use of this low-end filter. Just patch it into the board, and you’re ready to go.
Try the Phone Tone in combination with an intense overdrive like the Double Plush (see below) for a uniquely seething sound — like a caged tiger. It’s perfect for those dramatic moments when you want to give your bass player extra sonic room to do his thing, or when you just want to cut out the low end to build some suspense.
Double Plush Drive
The new Double Plush Drive that Fuchs unveiled at NAMM 2014 comes with two independent channels. The first channel is the classic Plush Drive; the second is a more savage overdrive with more gain and bite.
The Plush Drive has dials for gain and for pick response sensitivity, so you can dial in just the right amount of tactile control over your tone.
Guaranteed for Five Years
“All Plush pedals feature: Cast aluminum housings, industrial powder coat finish, metal shaft controls, premium boutique quality passive components selected for tone, mil spec fiberglass two sided circuit board construction for consistent long term performance, 5-year warranty.”
