Hey! Karen here! When I started hand-painting pedals in 2020, I played around with a few different styles including this “Abstract no. 3 LOAF”. I get inspiration from random and sometimes very strange things. This one's inspiration was... Stonehenge. LOL Why I was thinking about Stonehenge is beyond me, but it was a good inspiration for a creative outlet during a time when really weird things were happening. And as it WAS one of the firsts, it is not entirely perfect--there are a few specks in the clear coat and it has a slightly textured finish that you can only see at certain angles. But still, this is a part of BIG EAR history! Hope you enjoy my interpretation of a very strange pile of rocks!
XOXO Karen
(Internally, everything is the same as the standard pedal!)
The LOAF is technically a medium-gain fuzz, but don’t let that fool you… It’s still huge, fat, and wooly!
While most fuzz pedals are accused of stealing your low end, the LOAF will actually do the opposite and roll off some of the harsh, brittle, and “buzzy” high-end that is associated with those other pedals.
The simple three-knob layout allows you to easily dial-in the perfect setting on every guitar.
The interactive volume and tone controls make every setting as musical as the next.
The pedal reacts to your playing-dynamics much like a classic tube amp, and of course, it cleans up beautifully as well.
As of November 2018, The LOAF will no longer contain a battery snap and will require a standard 9v (100ma) power supply with a 2.1mm barrel connector (negative center).
*This pedal DOES NOT come with a power adapter. We recommend using an isolated DC power supply.
