FFFUUUZZZZZZ….we love it, you love, what’s not to love about it? Today’s pedal, the Danelectro Eisenhower Fuzz, re-invigorates the sounds of a vintage, early-70’s blue label fuzz box (guess which one – we have an idea, but still aren’t 100%), with modern updates and options. Also, it’s not JUST a basic fuzz: it also harnesses the power of the Octave, adding to its intrigue, usefulness and playability.
The Volume and Fuzz control knobs on the Danelectro Eisenhower Fuzz do just what you’d expect – why wouldn’t they? There are two other key ingredients at play here, which make it the well-rounded beastly machine that it is. First, the 2-band EQ section really helps you dial in the perfect fuzz/octave sounds for your setup. Second, there’s the Flat/Sculpt two position voicing switch which, when paired up with the amped up Gain in the Fuzz section, make this crimson beauty a true force to be reckoned with. From low-octave punch to searing, vintage distortion fuzz, and a whole lot in between, the Eisenhower brings the past and present together in the greatest of ways.
Housed in an enclosure that looks as old as the pedal it’s based on, the Danelectro Eisenhower Fuzz seems to be shrouded in a bit of mystery…but once you plug it in, you’re not going to care where this circuit came from, just that it exists RIGHT NOW. And, whatever fuzz octave it actually IS based on, you’re guaranteed this one will be hundreds of dollars easier on your wallet, both in initial purchase price AND upkeep/maintenance. Be sure to check out our demo below to hear the Eisenhower in action, and stay tuned for our demo of its twin brother, the Breakdown Overdrive, coming soon…
