We’ve always enjoyed it when a new product from Yellowcake Pedals appears on our doorstep, and today we get to experience that joy once more. They’ve sent over the FOOM Fuzz, a one knob powerhouse that goes from dirty to dirtier to just filthy, and it is awesome. This simple, velcro-like fuzz gives you some very Muff-esque types of distortion, and all you have to do is gently turn one control. It’s designed to be...

Awesome name aside, this little teal monster produces some scorching drive tones, and will get you to that nice, middle ground fuzz area where it’s still safe to play, yet not too safe to rock it out. Lots of options on this puppy, let’s take it for a spin,...
