Freekish Blues Announces Davy Knowles Signature Chubb Up! Octave Fuzz

The British blues-rock guitarist of Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam fame, gets a signature octave up fuzz pedal
Boston, MA (November 3, 2010) -- Freekish Blues has announced the release of the Davy Knowles Signature Pedal: The Chubb Up! Octave Fuzz.

The Chubb Up! Octave Fuzz is an octave up fuzz that is switchable to just have the fuzz on by itself. The Chubb Up! was designed and engineered with the vintage octave fuzz and fuzz pedals of the late '60s and early '70s in mind. The Chubb Up! is designed to be more responsive, controlled, and defined than vintage units.

"I am immensely proud to put my name on such a fantastic product. The quality of tone and playability of this pedal is just fantastic," said Davy Knowles. "There are so many rich harmonics that are apparent in this pedal, that I was actually getting multiple notes! So much so that it was like an extra bonus effect! Such a wonderful tone and using the guitars volume you can really dive into how responsive this pedal can be. I can see this being an important part of my rig for many many years to come."

Three Versions Available:
• Standard Chubb Up! - $168
• Custom Hand Painted Chubb Up! - $199
• Custom Hand Painted Chubb Up! & Davy Autographed Chubb Up! - $250

on 06/24/2011 		If you look at the JoYo octave fuzz and the Valco octave fuzz...you'll notice that they are EXACTLY the same as the Chub-up. If you open them up, only the Chub-up will have goop on the PC board and any identifying marks scratched off the board as well. The main difference? You are paying Freekish Blues over $100 dollars more for the SAME mass-produced, made-in-China pedal. Rip-off anyone?

on 11/24/2010 		It's a fact that the 'octave up' thing usually gets lost somewhere in the mix.But with the chubb up cuts through it!I have the dunlop hendrix octavio and the hendrix fuzzface and i'm seriously considering of selling them since i can't use them easily in a band situation!Though i'm not a 'one pedal for everything' kind of guy,i think the Chubb Up!pedal handles both the fuzz and the octave function really well!and you can get a lot of sounds out of it if you play with it a little!

Thanks for the offer about other pedals!Are you working on any other kind of pedal right now?

About the reviews,I'll write one over the weekend and i'll make sure my friend does as well!I'll also make a video review,though it'll take some more time since i don't have a camera of my own!But I'll do my best over the coming days!Maybe i can post a video from a gig of mine using the pedal if the sound quality turns out to be good!(But I'll do a proper video review too!)
