Milled Aluminum Guitar Accessories

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Andrew Ferrier Heads the New Fuzz Pedal Project

— July 17, 2023 — Lifestyle
Andrew Ferrier designs the new Fuzz Pedal project made from milled aluminum materials. It comes together to create an industrial form and the fuzz pedal sits under a guitarist's foot. It helps with creating an altered sound of heavy distortion that can be described as a more fuzzy audio by tapping their foot.

Ferrier spent a lot of his childhood in Canada working on guitars, bikes, and snowboards, making this completely fluent to him. It is detailed with a textured surface and done so purposely in order to resist or hide any chipping that is usually seen on these pedals. The base is a flat bottom complete with indented areas that are meant for dials.
