Seattle’s Spun Loud Effects has introduced the Blister & Peel V.2, an updated version of its original hand-built dual overdrive and fuzz pedal

The pedal combines two circuits, with the Blister side based on the classic Electra distortion and the Peel side offering a more classic fuzz sound rooted in the Christian H. Bazz Fuss circuit. Combined, Spun Loud promises “extreme fuzz verging on bitstortion.”
