NOW PLAY THIS POWERED BY EFFECTS DATABASE ➊ TOTALLY WYCKED AUDIO CONTINUES TO INNOVATE WITH THE DYNAMORPH TWA continues its tradition of releasing innovative musical machines with the Dynamorph, a filter-fuzz-synth unit that employs an unusual arrangement to wring out some all-new textures. Using a complex diode arrangement and two high-gain preamps in series, the Dynamorph is capable of delivering any number of great sounding swatches with a simple turn of the knobs. ➊ ➋ KHDH ELECTRONICS DRAWS OUT THE DARK BLOOD The Dark Blood by KHDH seeks to give users a rich and mid-heavy amppummeling distortion. It accomplishes this feat by plaing a treble booster circuit in front of the primary distortion circuit to redline the distortion core. A handy noise gate knob keeps unwanted hiss out of the line, and two different gain settings let you tailor the Dark Blood to whatever guitar and amp combo you have. ➋ ➌ DWARFCRAFT DEVICES BRINGS BACK THE BABY THUNDER After a hiatus, the Dwarfcraft Devices Baby Thunder has returned. The Baby Thunder is a stripped-down version of Dwarfcraft’s flagship Eau Claire Thunder, an unrelenting powerful fuzz circuit. The footswitches (Timewarp and Toneblast) have been turned into toggle switches, and the handy Trim knob has been kept that allows players to attenuate the input signal to avoid overload. ➌ 8 NOW PLAY THIS // Buzzworthy Gear
