Zap your guitar amp's mosquito tone with Amptweaker's DeFizzerator pedal
$60 passive EQ rolls off sizzly highs
Anyone who's tired of fizzy highs emanating from their guitar amp or pedalboard will be pleased to see this simple one-knob solution from Amptweaker: the DeFizzerator.
The DeFizzerator is a passive EQ with three frequencies - fizz, buzz and crackle - that are higher than most tone or high EQs, which helps to fine-tune fizz.
A zap control adjusts the amount of fizz cut, which is handy for getting cranked-amp tones at bedroom levels - plus since the pedal's passive, it doesn't require batteries or power.
The DeFizzerator is available now for $60 from Amptweaker.
