- EHX Ripped Speaker Fuzz (stab: Wampler Reflection)
- An homage to one of the ways early distorted guitar and bass was mad
- At low settings, it emulates lo-fi distortion like “a razor blade applied to a speaker cone, a loose tube, or a faulty channel on a recording console”
- The “rip” knob is a bias control that sets the amount of clipping at the top and bottom of the wave form.
- The tone knob is a tilt-shift EQ which is flat at noon.
- The higher gain sounds are actually kind of cool!
- $99
