Lowball
The Bruce Bennett Music Labs Lowball is a captivating and powerful octave distortion pedal that defies categorization. This unruly beast combines the gritty, saturated tones of a fuzz with the subterranean growl of a one-octave-down effect, creating a sound that is as menacing as it is mesmerizing. What sets the Lowball apart is its uncanny ability to thrive in the lowest tunings. Drop-tuned guitars, baritones, and even basses come alive under its spell, unleashing a wall of distorted, harmonically rich low-end that will shake the foundations. Chords become massive, thick slabs of sound, while single notes take on an almost synthesized quality, oscillating and swelling with a captivating ring modulator-like effect. Yet the Lowball is no mere one-trick pony. Crank up the gain, and it transforms into a fierce, almost uncontrollable distortion unit, perfect for searing lead lines and bone-crushing riffs. The pedal's generous boost function further enhances its versatility, allowing players to push their amplifiers into glorious, amp-like saturation. While the Lowball may not be for the faint of heart, seasoned players seeking a truly unique and inspiring tone will find it a revelation. Guitarist Bruce Kulick of KISS has been spotted using the Lowball, testament to its ability to conjure up thunderous, stadium-ready tones. If you're craving a pedal that can simultaneously crush, glitch, and mesmerize, the Lowball is a must-try.
