Description

Inspired by the fuzzy tones of Desert and Stoner Rock, the Sonic Generator gives you that massive, ripping fuzz sound similar to Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Nebula, Sleep, Red Fang, etc.

I wanted the pedal to sound like it had a mix of two types of fuzz, a smooth fuzz underneath with a ripping, Velcro type-of-fuzz on top. Also, I wanted the pedal to be usable in any situation so the fuzz control goes from full out monster fuzz to a fat, lower-gain grit.

The mids control not only adds mids but it also adds body to the pedal keeping the tone full when the mids are turned up.

The name of this stoner fuzz pedal comes from the origins of Desert Rock where bands would use power generators out in the desert to power their amps.

Stomp Under Foot Sonic Generator Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Stomp Under Foot's Sonic Generator delivers a powerhouse of fuzz with rich tonal versatility that caters to stoner rock enthusiasts. Its dynamic EQ allows for everything from thick, droning sounds to sharp, cutting riffs, making it a formidable companion on stage. While it excels with humbuckers, care must be taken to avoid getting lost in a mix due to its heavy low-end. At $189, it's a worthwhile investment for those seeking a unique fuzz experience, though its design may not appeal to everyone. Overall, it’s a top-notch pedal for heavy, textured soundscapes.
