Screech

Joe Gore's Screech draws lineage from vintage octave-up fuzzes like the Ampeg Scrambler and Dan Armstrong Green Ringer. The circuit adds a synthy upper octave to your signal, creating ring-mod-adjacent textures perfect for experimental playing.

The octave effect becomes more prominent as you play higher on the neck and use the neck pickup. Lower notes and bridge pickup produce more conventional fuzz with hints of octave. It's a sound that defined countless psychedelic recordings.

Controls shape the intensity and character of the octave-fuzz blend. Like all Gore pedals, built in San Francisco with attention to dynamic response and playability, not just raw effect.
