Electrofoods ULTD Germ Warfare Germanium Boost | Delicious Audio

delicious-audio.com

The Electrofoods Ultd. Germ Warfare pedal is a versatile gem, offering an impressive range of tonal options that can elevate any rig. Its use of Soviet germanium transistors delivers a warm, organic grit while the active treble and mids controls allow for precise sound shaping. The pedal excels as both a boost and an overdrive, making it a valuable addition to any guitarist's arsenal. However, its significant volume output might pose challenges for players in quieter settings, and the learning curve for dialing in the perfect sound might deter some. Overall, it’s a powerful tool for those willing to explore its capabilities.

Definitely makes everything sound better

I own a bunch of ODs and fuzz, and I haven't had a chance to put this in front of each of them, but so far, this pedal lives up to the company's claim that:

"The extra gain and subtle grit of its otherworldly NOS transistors will make all of your other pedals sound better - seriously, all of them. The GERM WARFARE will breathe new life into your favorite fuzz, and give your time/modulation effects some sass without overwhelming them."

Right now, I'm testing it side by side with the Spaceman Effects Mercury IV, which doesn't have near the treble that the Germ Warfare has. I had thought the Mercury was the gold standard for boosts, but I gotta admit I'm struggling here. Would love to get together with a band soon and see how both cut through the mix.

Thanks for getting an honest and knowledgable review up for this pedal @Tommy_perkins. Especially for these boutique makers, reviews make a huge difference.
