Fox River Devices Autumn (Seasonal Drive Series)

We love it when a new pedal company emerges, especially when we’re one of the first to help unleash their products on the world. Fox River Devices has created a new Drive Series that changes with the seasons (much like guitar tones tend to do), the first of which is called Autumn. This versatile overdrive has its own unique sound and vibe, providing a wide array of tonal ‘colors’ for the season…

Inspired by the changing landscape in the upper Midwest that can only be described as magical during this time of year, Autumn is a guitar pedal designed to create a plethora of rich harmonics and a variety of tones. Much like the season that shares its name, this pedal is capable of turning from warm, open and subtle to dark, heavy, and crisp depending on where the knobs are set.

This is an asymmetrical hard clipping circuit that uses red, yellow, green, and orange LEDs. At high gain you can even hear some subtle harmonics from FET clipping. The EQ of this pedal is low/mid ranged focused with a frequency hump around 700 Hz to 1 kHz depending on settings. The circuit is designed in a way where tone will darken as gain is increased. Overall, this pedal would be classified as a medium to high gain circuit capable of producing approximately 55 dB at max gain.

Autumn pairs well with dark sounding amps, guitars and speaker cabinets. In addition, it can be used to “warm up” a somewhat cleaner and brighter tone. Consider using this pedal to create some colorful psych-rock tones or grab your favorite down tuned guitar, baritone, or 8-string for some thick sludgy tones.

These drives are hand made in small batches, only produced for a limited time, with a current Kickstarter campaign in place (head HERE to grab an Autumn!). Get lost in a corn maze of guitar tone with this pedal. Take a brisk gallop through an apple orchard beneath the harvest moon. Enjoy a scenic drive at the first signs of light snow. Learn the forbidden secrets of the pumpkin patch. Autumn is a favorite season for reasons that are just waiting to be discovered! Congrats to Fox River Devices on this first marvelous pedal in the series, and what better way to usher in a long Thanksgiving weekend than with a pedal called Autumn…we hope you enjoy good food and family this week, cheers!!
