➍ DWARFCRAFT DEVICES SPREADS ITS HAPPINESS ➍ As long last, something as timeless and potentially destructive as the resonant filter gets the Dwarfcraft Devices treatment. The Happiness from Dwarfcraft offers several modes and options in a relatively pedalboard-friendly package. Lovers of CV controls will again find a lot to like about the Happiness, as it offers several routing options for integration with CV-equipped devices, such as Eurorack synths. ➎ KRAKEN EFFECTS DISHES OUT THE FUZZY AGNES ➎ The Fuzzy Agnes is a no-nonsense one-transistor fuzz box designed in conjunction of psych rock band Saint Agnes. It features a less-compressed fuzz sound that’s accomplished via an LED clipping section. The biggest strength of the Fuzzy Agnes is its stacking ability, as it pairs well with any number of drive, fuzz or distortion pedals that you can run before or after it. ➏ EZHI AND AKA DELIVERS THE TAPE+ ➏ Unlike much else out there, the Ezhi and Aka Tape+ simulates a broken tape machine complete with off-kilter filtering and vibrato. A noise generator introduces clicks and pops into the mix for a modulation trip that will instantly set your mixes and sets apart from anyone else’s. An added drive move only adds to the grittiness, and the onboard LFO has an extended range for glacially slow sweeps and otherworldly rayguns. ToneReport.com 9
