EarthQuaker Devices has teamed up with LCD Soundsystem multi-instrumentalist James Murphy for a brand new, fairly fuzzy pedal dubbed the Chelsea Low End Fuzz Driver.
The Chelsea Low End Fuzz Driver is a deceptively powerful pedal that offers everything from light overdrive to full on distortion, and with some prety simply controls. A Tone On/Off switch allows you remove the Tone control from the circuit, opening up a whole new world of midrange grind. Switch it off for a simplified and straightforward attack or leave it on for a full-bodied distortion with loads of low-end with a slight natural scoop.
Roll up the Sustain for wall-shaking bass notes or sustaining lead and adjust the Tone for a wild and wide frequency response from aggressive top end to low-end rumble. And then there’s Gain for y’know, Gain.
The Chelsea Low End Fuzz Driver is based on a fuzz pedal owned by Murphy that’s old as hell and pretty busted, but still works just enough to deliver some grit. Or as Earthquaker puts it, it’s “named after the guitar shop in which it was purchased back in 1989, the Chelsea recreates all the idiosyncrasies of the original but without the threat of total collapse.”
