Brian May Mayhem
The Fryer Brian May Mayhem is a guitar pedal that channels the iconic sound of Queen's legendary guitarist, Brian May. Designed in collaboration with May himself, this overdrive unit expertly captures the rich, harmonically-complex tones that defined his groundbreaking style. At its core, the Mayhem delivers a thick, creamy overdrive that blooms with natural compression and sustain. But what sets it apart is the way it reproduces May's signature "guitar-through-a-guitar-amp" tone. By meticulously modeling the interactions between his Red Special guitar, his Vox AC30 amplifier, and his legendary tone-shaping techniques, the Mayhem conjures up that unmistakable Brian May magic. Crank the gain and you'll be immersed in a swirling, harmonically-rich overdrive that cleans up beautifully with your guitar's volume knob. Roll it back and you're rewarded with a crystalline, sparkling clean tone that's perfect for chiming arpeggios and delicate melodic lines. But the real secret sauce lies in the Mayhem's unique EQ controls. Voiced to match May's own preferences, these allow you to sculpt your sound with surgical precision - from the smooth, singing midrange that defines his lead tones, to the thick, punchy lows that underpin his towering rhythm parts. Whether you're a die-hard Queen fan or simply seeking to expand your sonic palette, the Fryer Brian May Mayhem is a must-have pedal that delivers unparalleled access to one of rock's most revered and influential guitar tones.
