Haunted Labs’ Scorched Earth offers fuzz tones "like mainlining hot magma into your bloodstream"
Vintage silicon fuzz elements, modern tone shaping capabilities, serious spooky graphics
Just in time for Halloween – seriously, just in time – Haunted Labs has unveiled the Scorched Earth effect pedal, a “relic” fuzz that claims to combine elements of vintage silicon fuzzes with modern tone shaping capabilities.
The new pedal boasts a simple layout – just fuzz, level and tone knobs – and promises to soak your tone in “harmonically rich, seemingly endless sustain.
“Kinda like mainlining hot magma into your bloodstream, but in a good way,” says Haunted Labs.
Otherwise, there’s true bypass switching, 9V standard DC operation and some seriously spooky graphics.
The Scorched Earth is available for $159 and begins shipping in mid November. For more information, head to Haunted Labs.
