I wanted a fuzz that sounded huge. I wanted a fuzz that sounded like that last three seconds when you when turn off a tube amp and get that incredible, gated, octave-gnarled distortion before the amp is totally dead. I wanted massive walls of sound and I wanted broken tones and I wanted them together, with everything in between. The grotesquely ugly and the oddly beautiful. In a small enclosure. Dot Dot Damage is a wild, strange distortion pedal. Big wooly fuzz tones. Screaming blasts. Overdrive. General weirdness.

We'll let them tell you about it:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure where to start with the Dot Dot Doom. It does so much (and so well) that it makes me sick. Fanged, vicious fuzz sounds, absolutely unfathomable amounts of low end heaviness, all the top end bite currently allowed by the laws of physics, crazy sustain, a tone control that will drive you insane, expression control…oh, and the ability to go from classic, thick walls of fuzz (think\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSiamese Dream, Loveless,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSlanted and Enchanted\u003c\/em\u003e) to warped octave madness with the sweep of a single knob (think experimental noise bands like Xiu Xiu). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat, I guess, scratches the surface. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its most normal, the Dot Dot Doom is the heaviest fuzz pedal out there, with absolutely no low end loss whatsoever (really!) and a shimmering fizz at the top. You’ve probably never heard a fuzz with this much of all the frequencies you want. I know I haven’t. You can doom out like never before. Between the hyper-musical, wide range of the TONE control and the MID control filling in the scoop to taste, you’re able to dial in whatever exciting tone you can dream of (note: if you dream of boxy\/dull\/thin\/boring tones, Dot Dot Doom is not for you). Your days of having to choose between heaviness and teeth, scooped and flat, are over. Plug in an expression pedal and get wild, phaser-like sweeps while you play. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there’s the THRASH knob. The Dot Dot Doom is certainly harmonically interesting enough already, but THRASH pushes it into some very strange realms indeed. Shattered octaves. Weirdo transients. Starved tones that retain a completely unnatural, ghostly, sustain. It shouldn’t work but it does. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay in drop G#, play the lowest fattest bass you can find, pummel this thing with booming drum machines - whatever you give it - Dot Dot Doom can distort sources beyond recognition and you’ll still hear the lows, highs, and mids you want. It's your friend if you want the best \"classic\" sound. It's your buddy if you want to disgust your neighbors with absolute noise.
