Critic Reviews

Vick Audio V1 Triangle review on pedal-of-the-day.com

pedal-of-the-day.com

The Vick Audio V1 Triangle Fuzz is lauded for its powerful, expressive sustain and unique midrange toggle switch that adds versatility to a classic fuzz formula. While early fuzzes often had scooped mids, this pedal offers three selectable mid profiles, ensuring it fits seamlessly into any setup. The simple control scheme of Volume, Control, and Sustain is user-friendly, and the boutique, hand-wired quality is a definite plus. However, the absence of an internal 9V battery clip might be a minor inconvenience for some. Overall, this pedal is a standout option for fuzz enthusiasts seeking both vintage tones and modern adaptability.
