I figured I’d dive right into the heavy so I placed the pedal between my amp and an Ibanez artist with a Custom 8 bridge pickup and a Duncan ‘59 in the neck. Grab your Flowbee, kids… we’re about to get hairy. The Gods of fuzz had given me a gift, and I accepted with gratitude.īy now you’re probably thinking, “Gee, Devin… that sounds really great and all, but how does it sound?” Upon opening the box, my expectations of a single knob fuzz were met with a sparkling box of destruction sporting a list of features that read like a fuzz lover’s wet dream: voltage starve, a tone control (which actually functions, unlike other fuzz pedals) and two independent and footswitchable gain stages with more fuzz on tap than a ZZ Top groupie. The Drone Station really fell into my lap (a happy accident of sorts) when the order I had originally placed through CSE was miscommunicated. I know I have.īut what happens when you’ve tried all the classics and you still want something different, something new? Where can you turn when everybody and their brother is content to release “their take” on a circuit that you’ve bought three times over? I too faced this same dilemma when I stumbled upon something great: the Drone Station from Center Street Electronics. It’s in our DNA, and as a result, you’ve probably tried just about every variation of fuzz on the market. We all grew up listening to our parents’ records and found ourselves captivated by the grinding sounds of the guitars on our favorite tracks. People love these classic fuzz pedals for a good reason: they produce the sounds that shaped the face of rock music. If you were to ask any guitar player what their favorite fuzz box is, you’ll be greeted with a chorus of praise for some variant of a vintage pedal.
