"I was looking for great fuzz guitar and bass on some recent projects and this thing just nailed it. To sum it all up, these are so much more than just boost pedals, they are tone enhancers."
The Germanium is fat and smooth as you may expect while the Little Devil (my favorite) is aggressive and can get almost squishy if you push it that much. After finding a preset that works with your amp, you have further options of sculpting the tone using feedback drive and boost range. These boxes were so flexible they could bring out the best qualities of each combination of amp and speaker. I tried it on a few vintage low- watt amps, a Marshall, and an AC30. I do not hear a stomp box between the guitar and the amp but rather it brings out new sounds, textures, and character (it is a Chandler product after all). I will say for both they seem incredibly transparent.
First off, the quality is what you would expect from Chandler and that is nothing short of the best (and I was playing on a prototype!). I'm a little at a loss for words, but I will do my best to describe my initial reactions. "I recently had the good fortune to visit Chandler and try Wade's new pedals. Really made me want to play guitar all night!" The Germanium felt like it was very easy to get great solo sounds that really sang. they were super fun to play through!! The Devil got into some great rock tones, and as the rotary knob was turned the tone started to 'give' in a cool way - kind of like compression but not quite. "I got to try both the Little Devil and the Germ pedals last week. In tone it was amazing with a Nord Lead or even a synth organ tone. The Little Devil seems a bit more versatile but the Germanium has a very unique sound. They have been especially effective feeding into an AC30. They give everything a very '70s plexi Marshall type of tint. "Any guitar player who doesn't use one of these is an idiot!"
