The Devils Handshake
Auxiliary Workshop's The Devil's Handshake is a fiendishly versatile fuzz and overdrive pedal that summons a dark, seductive tone. Don't let its unassuming exterior fool you - this compact box packs a devilish punch. At its core, The Devil's Handshake delivers a thick, creamy fuzz that's perfect for crushing riffs and soaring leads. But crank the controls, and you'll unleash a whole spectrum of gritty, high-gain goodness. The pedal's unique "Faustian Bargain" control blends seamlessly between fuzz and overdrive, allowing you to sculpt your sound from smooth and singing to raw and ravenous. What really sets this pedal apart is its uncanny ability to retain clarity and definition, even when the distortion is cranked to the max. The tight, focused low-end response ensures your tone stays punchy and articulate, while the mid-range push adds an addictive growl that'll cut through any mix. Rumor has it that The Devil's Handshake was a secret weapon in the studio for blues-rock icon Gary Moore, who used it to achieve his trademark searing lead tones. Whether you're channeling classic rock royalty or carving out your own path, this pedal is sure to become a trusted companion on your musical journey. So strike a deal with the devil and let The Devil's Handshake work its magic. Your tone will never be the same.
