    Well I put my money where my mouth is today and placed an order for one.
    Looking forward to getting it and hoping it'll be as fun as it looks

    I'll keep it at the workshop, so if any of you guys are passing by you can have a go :)

    @Thorpy6, how about "The Disruptor" or "Felix" as a name for pedals?

    How about an 8b. Great for for slow heavy work, but no good in high gear. It'll go off in the wrong direction.

    I'm really glad you like it, i know that pedalboard real estate is a precious commodity.

    I was asked to create the MUFFROOM CLOUD by a number of vintage pedal enthusiasts I know. They were after a MUFF style pedal that would work with a variety of guitars (Humbucker and singlecoil's including P90's) and amps. It also had to be bombproof so it could be gigged. The brief was simple, make a Muff Style Fuzz that could beat their original 1971 Triangle Muff pedals when placed head to head.

    The brief was simple, the task was not, however after many prototypes and a bit of lateral thinking the MUFFROOM CLOUD (designed in collaboration with Lovetone and Dinosaural pedals designer Dan Coggins) was born. This pedal has the ability to beat any Muff you have heard (including the best vintage units). By adjusting the perfectly voiced EQ you can achieve fuzz tones from silky smooth through to doom laden whilst maintain the ability to cut through.

    This pedal is going to be limited in production so get your hands on one whilst they are available to preorder. They will be shipping around 15 August 2015.



    Out of interest, heres one of the pedals the MUFFROOM CLOUD went up against and beat....

    Excellent (even though personally I prefer overdrive to fuzz) ...although having a third hand to move the controls whilst playing is a real bonus I can see.

    Great usable sweep on the tone controls there. I've never been drawn to fuzz before but that sounds great. Not a bad tone to be had.

    Congratulations on what is sure to be another success.
