The Ripped Speaker is a modern fuzz with old school roots and pays
homage to one of the ways that early, distorted guitar and bass sounds
were made. At low fuzz settings the pedal emulates the lo-fi distortion
sounds of yesteryear, the kinds of sounds created by a razor blade
applied to a speaker cone, a loose tube or a faulty channel on a
recording console. When you crank the fuzz up the sound is transformed.
It’s modern and monumental with a searing, fully saturated, fuzz tone.
The Ripped Speaker’s RIP knob is a bias control which sets the amount of
clipping at the top and bottom of the signal wave form. It adds a lot
of versatility and lets you tailor the character of the fuzz. Noon is
neutral, a position where the fuzz is perfectly biased... fat, with a
great low end and top end bite without being harsh. As you turn the knob
clockwise the pedal produces a hard gating effect and the signal
sputters and chokes. It’s great for creating a dying battery effect.
Turning the knob CCW produces yet a different style of fuzz with a
smoother gating effect where the signal fades out quickly.
