Ultraviolet 2
The Blackbox Ultraviolet 2 is a mind-bending fuzz pedal that takes the concept of "more is more" to thrilling new heights. Packing four distinct fuzz channels and three active filter sections, this sonic behemoth delivers a level of tonal complexity that borders on the psychedelic. Each of the four fuzz circuits has its own unique character, ranging from a warm, organic grind to a dense, layered wall of distortion that threatens to swallow your entire signal. But the real magic happens when you start manipulating the three filter sections, which allow you to sculpt and contour the fuzz in ways that go far beyond your average distortion pedal. Think of it as having four fuzz boxes and three wah pedals all running in parallel - the sonic possibilities are near-endless. Crank up the feedback controls and you can generate shimmering, harmonically-rich overtones that hover and swirl around your core guitar tone. Blend in the unfiltered signal for a touch of clarity, or dime the filters for a mind-altering, envelope-infused fuzz assault. The Ultraviolet 2 has been spotted on the pedalboards of sonic adventurers like J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., who uses its shapeshifting fuzz tones to sculpt his iconic lead sounds. If you're a guitarist who craves uncompromising, boundary-pushing fuzz tones, this pedal is an absolute must-try.
