Foxpedal Defector
A modern take on the Sovtek Big Muff, the Defector Fuzz boasts two independent sections: a rather gritty boost and a 4-stage transistor fuzz. A small toggle switch selects three different fuzz flavors—silicon-diode clipping, no clipping, and LED clipping—and a flexible mid control lets you beef up or scoop out the tone. This knob alone is worth the price of admission.
