Alternado Fuzz
Companion's Alternado Fuzz is a delightfully unpredictable beast, a fuzz pedal that revels in chaos and unpredictability. Unlike the smooth, saturated fuzz tones you might expect, the Alternado Fuzz embraces a raw, dynamic sound that shifts and morphs with every strum and pick attack. At its core, the Alternado Fuzz utilizes a unique "alternating" circuit design that introduces subtle fluctuations and variations to the signal, resulting in a mesmerizing, almost-alive quality to the distortion. One moment you'll be drowning in thick, fuzzy goodness, the next you'll be met with a sputtering, gated snarl - it's an unruly effect that refuses to be tamed. But don't mistake this pedal's unpredictability for a lack of control. The Alternado Fuzz offers a surprising amount of versatility, with knobs that allow you to shape the chaos to your liking. Dial in the perfect balance of low-end thump and cutting upper harmonics, or push the gain to unleash a towering wall of fuzz that'll have your bandmates ducking for cover. Beloved by indie and alternative guitarists seeking a distinctive, envelope-pushing fuzz tone, the Alternado Fuzz has found its way onto the pedalboards of artists like Courtney Barnett and Kevin Parker. If you're tired of the same old fuzz and crave something that'll constantly keep you on your toes, this Companion pedal is a must-try.
