Dr No Effects reveals Colossus boost and octave fuzz pedal
Stompbox designed with Triggerfinger’s Ruben Block
Netherlands-based effects builder Dr No has announced its latest collaborative pedal, the Colossus boost and octave, developed with Triggerfinger guitarist Ruben Block.
The Art Deco-vibed stompbox pairs a fuzz-tinged high-gain booster with an Octavia-based fuzz, which can operate separately or together.
Boost controls include volume, tone, bass and gain, while the Octavia side features volume and a two-position gain switch.
You can hear the effect for yourself on Triggerfinger’s new album Colossus.
The Colossus is available now from Dr No Effects for €276.
