Fingerprint
The Penny Pedals Fingerprint is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between the pedal company and renowned artist Laura Bennett. Unlike typical distortion pedals, the Fingerprint takes you on a wild sonic journey, blending elements of high-gain distortion, fuzz, and even octave effects. At its core, the Fingerprint delivers a "wall of sound" distortion reminiscent of iconic shoegaze and alternative rock bands like My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins, and Jesus and Mary Chain. But this pedal goes far beyond the standard distortion fare. The unique "Texture" control allows you to shape the character of the distortion, morphing it from a classic crunch to a fuzzier, more unhinged sound. As you crank the Texture, the circuit begins to introduce gating and octave effects, creating eerie, glitchy tones that seem to have a mind of their own. Low notes trigger unexpected lower octaves, while high notes fizzle and chords produce almost uncontrollable, broken-robot-like sounds. It's a pedal that encourages experimentation and rewards the adventurous player. Visually, the Fingerprint is a true work of art, with Laura Bennett's stunning, one-of-a-kind design gracing the pedal's enclosure. This collaboration between Penny Pedals and an acclaimed artist has resulted in a truly unique and inspiring effect that will expand the sonic palette of any guitarist seeking to push the boundaries of their tone.
