Angry Dragon mkII - Germanium Fuzz
The Coleman Angry Dragon mkII is a fuzz pedal that packs a seriously ferocious sonic punch. Under its unassuming exterior lies the snarling heart of a vintage germanium circuit, delivering that iconic thick, creamy fuzz tone that has graced countless rock and blues classics. What sets the Angry Dragon apart is its masterful blend of gain and response. Crank the distortion and you'll be rewarded with a wall of fuzz that can utterly obliterate your signal, perfect for searing lead lines or thunderous rhythm work. But roll back the gain and you'll uncover a more nuanced, touch-sensitive voice that cleans up beautifully with your guitar's volume knob. This versatility is further enhanced by the pedal's unique "Bite" control, which allows you to fine-tune the pedal's high-end response and tame any unwanted fizz. Pair that with the surprisingly flexible tone knob, and you've got a fuzz that can roar like a dragon or purr like a kitten. The Angry Dragon's pedigree is also worth noting - it's rumored that the late, great Jimi Hendrix himself was a fan of the original version, using it to craft those mind-bending fuzz solos that are the stuff of legend. While we can't confirm that, we do know the mkII carries on that same spirit of unbridled creativity and sonic exploration. Whether you're chasing vintage vibe or modern mayhem, the Coleman Angry Dragon mkII is a fuzz pedal that deserves a spot on any serious guitarist's pedalboard.
