House Amp

Very versatile and unique gain pedal. Goes from somewhere between low and medium gain with the gain at minimum, to blown out fuzz with the gain maxed.

The unique flavor of this pedal comes with the Speaker Trouble knob. Turn it up, and it starts to introduce.. something to the gain structure (regardless of the settings of the other knobs). Hard to describe, it's not noise, it's not fizz, it's not gating I think. It's like the note decay is crumbling. The name of the control, Speaker Trouble, is actually the best description I can think of.

Also, with this knob at minimum, it seems to still add just a tiny bit. So even at this setting, the gain structure is still different than your regular plain old gain pedal.
Maxing both the gain and the speaker trouble gives a chaotic sound, like a noisy version of a 8-bit sound, with also a bit of sag.
And in between the min and max of those two controls there are lots of different shades.

I also really like the tone knob (Woofer/Horn), which is also a pretty unique control that I haven't seen before. In essence it's a high pass filter: turn it up to take away the low frequencies, starting at a pretty bassy sound, going towards a thin sound. But unlike a regular HPF control, that changes the cutoff frequency, it seems to blend between the min and the max of the control. It's a subtle difference, but it's there. I think it's more consistent and user friendly than a regular HPF. A very useful way to control the amount of lows in the signal, and I wish every pedal had this exacty control.
Also, IMO, every setting here, even the extremes, can absolutely be useful, depending on the context and genre.

So, the House Amp might not be everybody's cup of tea, but IMO it's useful and versatile and unique and also, last but not least, just fun to play. :)

If you're looking for a a different kind of dirt box, check this one out. Sitting somewhere between an OD and fuzz, the House Amp is a unique addition to any guitarist's arsenal. This pedal aims to replicate the sound of a blown-out stereo system, giving your guitar a gritty, distorted sound that will set it apart from other distortion pedals. It's perfect for heavier styles of music such as metal or punk, but it's also versatile enough to be used in other genres, adding a touch of grit and character to your playing.
