The Walovoid Filth Grinder II is a versatile pedal that combines fuzz and saturation effects. The fuzz circuit is inspired by classic Big Muff designs but features a single clipping stage with options for MOSFET or asymmetrical LED clipping. This design avoids the mid-scoop commonly found in many fuzz pedals, providing a full-bodied output with pronounced low-end response, making it suitable for both guitar and bass applications.
The saturation effect functions as a power-amp booster, allowing users to boost, cut, or compress the fuzz signal. A 4-position rotary switch adjusts the input capacitor to shape the low-end response, and the saturator can also be utilized as a standalone effect. Each handmade enclosure is uniquely finished with a chemically etched patina, adding to its distinct character. The pedal operates with a standard 9V DC power supply.
