THE (FUZZY) CALL OF CTHULHU


It's ended up being a sort of heavy metal week here at WOM, what with the 50th anniversary of the band that started it all, Black Sabbath, as well as the discovery of the Figure In Black That Calls My Name on the cover of the band's first LP.

Now it's time to turn our tentacles to yet another heavy metal homage -- this time it's a guitar stompbox named after one of H.P. Lovecraft's literary monsters.

The Cthulhu Fuzz was developed by a company that went by the name of Dunwich Amplification. The owner sold his business to Magic Pedals and they proceeded to re-introduce the pedal after a few years out of production.

This one-knob beast is based on the Fuzz Face circuit (an early fuzz effect used by Jimi Hendrix), and when turned up full will grow hair on a rock.


Have a listen here:


Okay guys, now that you've payed homage to The Great Cthulhu, how 'bout following up with more pedals in this line, like say, a Dunwich Drive, Dagon Digital Delay, or R'lyeh Reverb?
