Daredevil Pedals The Cocked Fearless

Any one of Daredevil Pedals' is usually a slap-in-the-face, get-down-to-biz brick of fuzz/distortion nastiness. The Cocked Fearless, unleashed to day at Summer NAMM combines two of the best Daredevil machines--the Atomic Cock filter and the Fearless distortion. The latter circuit is a versatile low/high gain killer. The cocked wag section is situated before the distortion circuit. Together they create scads of awesome Ronson-in-a-box tones and beyond. Look for a $199 street price.

Bob Mould wrote his last album, Blue Heart, as a protest record, ahead of the 2020 American election. As a basic rule, protest music works best when it's shared and experienced communally, where it can percolate and manifest in new, exciting disruptions. But 2020 wasn’t exactly a great year for gathering together.
