This flamboyant and festively feminine
looking board actually yields some of the
most destructive doomscapes on radar.
Feeding a sizzling-smooth-crackle-spackle
Percolator-style circuit to the mighty
Malekko B:Assmaster is something I have
been doing for years. This is one of my
favorite fuzz pairings of all time. Neither
circuit cuts out lows, so bass players can
get amongst this dynamic duo as well.
The B:Assmaster is a heavily gated octave
fuzz, so it tames the extraneous hiss of
the Percolator-based circuit. The Malekko
also sports a hefty hazy clean blend, so
the smooth bubbling sustain of the Karma
Suture can be balanced with the squidgy
ripping octaves that the B:Assmaster is
dishing out. The tonal results are either
synth-like and stabbing or as sustained as
one likes while holding down a note.
