Thanks to a flexible EQ, this old-school-minded beauty is fantastic at nastying-up leads—but also works great with chords. The PG Dusky Augustus review.

 
 

Ratings

Pros:
A very flexible, user-friendly octave fuzz with plenty of aggression and the ability to handle both single-note runs and chords. High-quality build.

Cons:
Not always as dramatically snarly as some old-school octave-fuzz pedals.

Digital-control-enabled features makes Walrus’s already immersive modulation machine a scalpel for carving precise waveforms.

 

Ratings

Pros:
Many bold and subtle variations on vibrato and chorus textures that facilitate precise modulation shaping. Powerful, sensitive, and interactive controls.

Cons:
Tap tempo switch is very close to bypass switch if you don’t use external tap switch.
