Description

P. Isabella is a Fuzz/Distortion based on an old Russian classic with carefully selected tonal and quality of life improvements.

Robust EQ section capable of delivering ear piercing highs and thunderous lows. Mids control with a sweep ranging from the classic scooped curve to a flatter, more mids heavy curve. Ideal for standing out in the mix. Powerful clean blend for introducing either your clean signal or whatever effect unit you put in front of the P. Isabella into the equation. Results in a more dynamic response with more of your amp’s natural character blended in with the fuzz. Blending in an overdrive can create complex, layered dirt sounds. Particularly useful for bassists who want preserved presence and articulation. Fully counterclockwise is full wet, fully clockwise is full dry. Classic and Modern modes. Classic is sonically close to a Tall Font Green Russian, with it’s characteristic growl and low end. An expanded EQ section greatly expands the versatility of the classic circuit. Modern mode features significantly increased output to push your amp to it’s limits and a less compressed, more open sound with more high frequencies preserved. Built entirely by hand with through-hole construction in the USA using the highest quality components available. Hardware includes Gorva soft switching footswitches, Lumberg top-mounted DC and In/Out jacks and Alpha potentiometers. Components include all metal film resistors, WIMA film caps and Panasonic electrolytic caps. Wired for true bypass. Controls: Tone, Mid, Fuzz, Volume, Blend, C/M switch. Requires 9v DC center negative power supply. Not included. Current draw of P. Isabella is 6 mA.

New Pedal: Moth Electric P. Isabella | Delicious Audio

delicious-audio.com

Moth Electric's P. Isabella Fuzz pedal showcases an impressive blend of classic and modern fuzz sounds, thanks to its versatile control layout. The addition of a Mids knob and a Blend control allows guitarists and bassists to sculpt their tone effectively, overcoming typical Muff pedal limitations. While the Classic mode delivers that signature growl, the Modern mode offers a brighter, less compressed sound that can push your amp to new heights. However, some players might find the learning curve steep, as the myriad of options may initially overwhelm. Overall, the P. Isabella stands out for its craftsmanship and sound versatility, making it a worthwhile addition for those seeking to expand their sonic palette.

Moth Electric Releases Debut Pedal - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Moth Electric P. Isabella Fuzz attempts to deliver versatility with its two-mode toggle, but ultimately falls short. While the classic mode offers a familiar, wooly fuzz reminiscent of the Tall Font Green Russian, the modern mode struggles with clarity and high-frequency retention. The expanded EQ section is a notable feature, providing more tonal options, yet it may not fully compensate for the lackluster performance in modern settings. At $174.99, the build quality and hand-crafted appeal are commendable, but the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired for discerning players seeking more robust fuzz options. Overall, it’s a mixed bag that may disappoint those expecting stellar performance across all modes.
