Features
The Impending Doom is loaded with a powerful control set to give you full reign over your fuzz tone. The Brite and Normal controls let you blend between two distinct tonal voicings. Crank up the Brite for a more aggressive, high-gain fuzz, or roll it back and push the Normal for warmer, thicker textures. The Master control acts as the output level, ensuring you have the volume you need whether you’re using the pedal as a subtle boost or a full-on sonic sledgehammer.
For those who like to sculpt their fuzz with precision, the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls give you complete command over the EQ. Whether you’re dialing in thick, bass-heavy tones for doom metal, or pushing the mids and treble for a fuzz that slices through the mix, these controls allow you to shape your sound to fit any musical context. The EQ section is highly responsive, giving you everything from vintage, scooped fuzz tones to tight, aggressive modern fuzz.
Built for Tone Purists
Each Impending Doom is hand-built with an attention to detail that ensures top-notch quality and durability. Made with through-hole components, this pedal offers an all-analog signal path that ensures a pure, uncolored sound. At its core, the Impending Doom uses New Old Stock (NOS) transistors, which provide an authentic, vintage tonal character while maintaining modern reliability. This combination of analog craftsmanship and high-end components ensures that your tone is rich, responsive, and full of life.
With true bypass switching, the Impending Doom keeps your signal chain clean and transparent when the pedal is not in use. The small footprint of the 1590B enclosure makes it a perfect fit for any pedalboard, but don’t be fooled by its size—this pedal is capable of delivering massive, earth-shaking fuzz tones that will blow your audience away.
Command the Fuzz
From spitty, gated fuzz that tears through a mix to smooth, soaring sustain that sings, the Impending Doom has you covered. The flexible EQ allows you to sculpt your tone to fit any genre, while the Brite and Normal controls give you the ability to fine-tune your fuzz character. Whether you need a wall of doom-laden distortion, amp-like overdrive, or something in between, this pedal delivers with unmatched precision and tonal flexibility.
If you’re looking for a fuzz that offers endless tonal possibilities while staying true to the rich analog sound of classic circuits, the Impending Doom is your new go-to pedal. Built to last and designed to inspire, this pedal will push your tone into uncharted territory.
