You can always turn it down, but that doesn’t really make sense to us.
The one thing that I think is maybe a little bit different about us is that our shit is just really loud. I think maybe everybody in some way is trying to get more power, volume, and intensity out of their sound.
I mean I really love it as well, but I probably couldn’t tell you why I even love it. I honestly can’t even tell you why people love Fuzz so much.
Why is the demand so high for a Death By Audio Fuzz? You guys are probably best known for your Fuzz pedals. I don’t want to say it was effortless, but it did happen pretty organically and it allowed us to keep the space. So in order to pay rent we just kept having bands come and it worked. From that show we made enough money to complete the build out, but the guys who were going to move into the photo studio flaked out. We were going to build out rooms and then use the leftover space for a photo studio, in order to pay for that, we decided to throw a show. I was into it, and accidentally ended up starting a music venue. It’s weird, Death By Audio as a thing kind of came out of our relationship because I was working with Oli building pedals and then our landlord offered us the whole floor of the building we were living in. I eventually told Oli that he should just be designing stuff and that we should make it an actual company. It was a very made-to-order operation and totally disorganized. At that point, the company was: someone would place an order and we would have to build it from scratch. I ended up meeting him through a mutual friend and helping him. I guess fast forward a couple years and Oli was still kind of building pedals part time and occasionally doing odd jobs. He knew he could make this thing and probably sell a dozen of them to go on this trip, and that’s exactly what happened. The whole reason that he even came up with the idea for a pedal was because he wanted to go on a vacation to Europe with his girlfriend and he didn’t have any money. Matt Conboy: Our pedal company was started by Oliver Ackermann in around 2002. It’s still worth the space, and it does have top-mounted input and output jacks to save a little space.Īll things considered, I absolutely recommend this to someone looking for a versatile fuzz that can do extremely high gain.Noisey: How did Death By Audio come about? The only thing I actively dislike about the pedal is the large footprint takes up too much real estate on my pedalboard. It is a pretty infrequent occurrence and Death By Audio have a lifetime guarantee, so if it ever becomes more problematic I’ll send it in for repairs. I’ve had this pedal for years, and sometimes the foot switch hasn’t engaged when clicked. You get the sound of a small watt blown practice amp that can work well for classic rock tones. The tone knob has a really wide range on this pedal and I have to say that while my favorite is over the top fuzz, the tone maxed out sounds cool while rolling back on the fuzz. You get a very dynamic sounding fuzz that just can’t beat. But to my ears, it doesn’t sound too squishy with my setup the way some other fuzz pedals have in the past. It sounds so gnarly and aggressive anywhere past about noon. Start at zero and slowly roll up unless you want to blow out some windows. The controls will look familiar to anyone that has a 3 knob fuzz pedal volume, fuzz and tone.įirst thing you’ll notice upon plugging it in is that it is a loud pedal. The sheer amount of gain on tap is unreal.
