POWERED POWERED BY EFFECTS EFFECTS DATABASE DATABASE BY BY EFFECTS DATABASE NOW PLAY PLAY THIS THIS POWERED NOW STRYMON CONTINUES ITS CLEAN POWER QUEST WITH THE OJAI R30 Strymon’s quest for clean power continues with the Ojai R30, a flexible five-output power unit with variable voltage selectors on two taps. Each of the adjustable taps features modes for 9, 12 and 18- volt power, covering the range of most stompbox power ratings. There’s also two ports for 24-volt in and thru, the latter of which lets you chain the Ojai R30 with other supplies. MASSIVE FX PEDALS GETS LOW WITH THE HYPNOTIK FUZZ The Hypnotik is a super-heavy fuzz unit that gives you plenty of options within its controls. The Fuzz Amount control has a huge gain sweep which adds a little extra bass content as it is increased. The toggle switch controls a frequency fine-tuning circuit that adds treble and bite in the up position and mid scooping in the down position. ANANASHEAD COMES CORRECT WITH THE V2 SUPERFUZZ Like its name implies, the V2 Superfuzz is a modern take on the classic Univox circuit that put Pete Townshend’s tone on the map. The V2 gives you two extra controls not found on the original, such as a Tone knob and a mix control that blends the octave-up feature in and out. The V2 also features hand-matched transistors and diodes for a more toneful effect. 20 NOW PLAY THIS // Buzzworthy Gear
