Description

ONLY 10 IN ALTERNATE COLORS!

Gather round & feast your sense organs on our latest venture into a world more welcoming of color: the WARLOW.

This polychromatic set is our take and dedicated interpretation of an op-amp based, Pi-style fuzzstortion/distortiofuzz pedal which authentically captures the late 90s' Seattle-based grunge texture and tone. It incorporates high grade Burr-Brown chips and Germanium clipping diodes which bring about a very pronounced low end and a truly barefaced fuzz.

This aesthetic escapade is also an embrace of variety of tastes and their expression, as well as a dedication to the very colorful new experiences we have had over this last year. It is limited to 5 colors (each consisting of 10 units), and an additional 50 units in our classic grey metal enclosures.

Show your color and be part of the palette.

Critic Reviews

Why You Can’t Handle JPTR FX — The JHS Show

thejhsshow.com

JPTR FX is a quirky yet creative force in the pedal world, with the Warlow Fuzz touted as a "fuzz monstrosity" that's particularly effective for death metal. The aesthetic appeal of the pedals is strong, but the overwhelming number of knobs on models like the Fernweh Delay may deter those seeking simplicity. While Chris Jupiter's innovative approach leads to unique sounds, the sheer complexity might intimidate less experienced players. However, for those willing to experiment, the results can be rewarding. Ultimately, the review paints a picture of a brand that thrives on chaos and creativity, appealing to adventurous musicians, even as it acknowledges the potential pitfalls of its designs.

JPTR FX Warlow review on pedal-of-the-day.com

pedal-of-the-day.com

The JPTR FX Warlow Fuzz Monstrosity delivers a colossal sound, merging the best of classic Big Muff and ProCo RAT tones for a versatile fuzz experience. Its premium build and unique filter section allow for dynamic sound shaping, making it suitable for everything from grunge riffs to soaring solos. The rich history behind its design adds character, appealing to tone chasers looking for authenticity. However, its high gain may overwhelm less experienced players, and the limited color options might not suit every aesthetic. Despite these drawbacks, the Warlow stands out as a formidable addition to any pedalboard, promising to elevate your sound.

JPTR FX Warlow Fuzz | Delicious Audio

delicious-audio.com

The JPTR FX Warlow delivers a robust, low-end-heavy fuzz that captures the essence of '90s grunge, making it a worthy addition for fans of that era. Its use of high-grade IC chips and germanium diodes results in a pronounced fuzz tone that will appeal to many. However, its bulky enclosure might not be ideal for all pedalboards, and some users may find the tonal palette a bit limited for broader styles. Overall, while it excels in delivering that gritty grunge sound, players seeking versatility might want to explore further.
