FM72
The Jimmy Behan FX FM72 is a captivating fuzz pedal that takes your guitar tone on a wild, unpredictable journey. Designed by the renowned effects guru Jimmy Behan, this pedal unleashes a tonal maelstrom that's equal parts snarling aggression and glitchy, lo-fi charm. At its heart, the FM72 utilizes a unique fuzz circuit that blends classic silicon transistor grit with subtle frequency modulation. This creates an ever-shifting, almost synth-like quality to the distortion, adding an unpredictable edge that'll keep you on your toes. Crank the gain and you'll be rewarded with a thick, wall-of-sound fuzz that'll make your riffs feel like they're pulsing with electricity. But the real magic happens when you start tweaking the FM72's controls. The tone knob allows you to fine-tune the pedal's midrange response, letting you dial in everything from fuzzy low-end thump to cutting, trebly snarl. Meanwhile, the unique "Fuzz" control doesn't just adjust gain - it actually alters the character of the fuzz, morphing it from a smooth, velvet-like texture to a ragged, almost bitcrushed sound. The FM72 has been spotted on the pedalboards of alternative rock icons like J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., who've used its unhinged tones to add an extra layer of grit and unpredictability to their already fuzzy sonic assaults. If you're after a fuzz pedal that'll inject some delightfully chaotic energy into your playing, the Jimmy Behan FX FM72 is an absolute must-try.
