The Year in Gear 2019

The 60+ guitars, amps, pedals, basses, and accessories that stood out from the crowd and earned our coveted Premier Gear Award this year.

Dunable

Dunable SplatterBlaster

The SplatterBlaster is two fuzzes in one enclosure: “Splatter” is an authentic-sounding Super Fuzz and “Blaster” is based on late-’70s, op-amp-equipped Big Muffs. Through a single amp, the SplatterBlaster sums both fuzzes in mono, but flick the stereo switch and each effect gets routed to its own output. The SplatterBlaster’s ability to mix and stereo-ize the fuzzes and blend them with a clean signal unlocks a world of compelling crunch tones.
