  • Dewald Visser handmade boutique distortion pedal (FAT LADY)

I visited good friend of mine, Dewald Visser, this past weekend, for him to service some vintage valve amps I had.

When I arrived I discovered the following stompbox at his home.

Hand made by Dewald himself. It's called FAT LADY.




I will post some links to short clips later, so you can hear the pedal in action.
    Here are some short clips so you can hear the pedal in action:

    (Note: these were just recorded using a cellphone. Pedal is running through a Marshall MG250DFX. We might do a proper demo/recording of the pedal at a later stage.)

    Slight boost and clipping from the pedal after engaged.


    The pedal responds well to picking dynamics. Pick softly and the tone is clean. Dig in a bit and create the dirt.


    Even works when player is smoking. Very dirty sound.


    Even works for bass guitar.


    Blues tones.


    More bass.


    The pedal goes from slight overdrive to quite high gain fuzz sound.
      Awesome pedal for any guitarists that are looking for that special distortion. You can contact Dewald via his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/dewaudio) if you would like to commission the build of such a pedal for your own stompbox collection.
        Kinda sounds like the Fuzz Face. Nice sound ?
