Torn's Peaker (125B)

Devi Ever has been building boutique guitar pedals by hand since 2003, creating some of the most sought-after fuzz tones used by artists like My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, and Wilco.

The Torn's Peaker (the name is a spoonerism of 'Torn Speaker') is a silicon-based fuzz that leans toward heavy overdrive territory. Where the Soda Meiser delivers smooth, large fuzz tones, Torn's Peaker is its crunchy equivalent - equally suited for metal as heavy classic rock. The circuit evokes the borderline-abrasive silicon fuzzes of the '70s and '80s.

This 125B version houses the circuit in a larger enclosure. Controls include Volume (with massive gain on tap) and Texture, which sweeps from clangy ice-pick highs to heavy bottom end. Known for wall-of-fuzz sustain that remains interactive with your guitar's volume control, dialing down to gritty crunch. An excellent addition to shoegaze, psych rock, or stoner metal rigs.
