Death By Audio Crossover Fuzz: 2-Headed Fuzz Monster!
Fuzz with Dual Resonant Filters!
Death By Audio from Brooklyn has unleashed their most ambitious pedal yet: the Crossover Fuzz. It combines a lethal fuzz with dual resonant filters!
Crossover Fuzz: Two Fuzz Beasts
The core of the Crossover Fuzz is its innovative dual-band crossover design. It separates your signal into two distinct frequency bands—a fat, dark, droning fuzz for the lows and a biting, growling fuzz for the highs.
This allows you to apply different levels of gain and volume to each band, creating a massive range of tones. Imagine a bubbling, sludgy bass tone with a slight, high-end sizzle, or a searing lead that snarls with resonant mids.
Unprecedented Control and Connectivity
Each of the two fuzz bands features independent Gain and Volume controls, giving you granular control over your sound. The large “Freq” knob lets you dial in the crossover point, while the “Resonance” control adds a layer of brutal hiss and self-oscillating squeal.
The pedal’s versatile dual inputs and outputs are going to make it a lot of fun to play with. They allow for complex routing and stereo setups, whether you’re going mono-to-stereo, stereo-to-stereo, or even stereo-to-mono. This flexibility makes the Crossover Fuzz an incredibly powerful tool for multi-amp rigs and creative signal chains.
Expression Pedal and CV Automation
Connect an expression pedal to transform the pedal into a dynamic filter or wah effect, with the resonance cranked for wild, sweeping tones.
The pedal also supports CV automation for modular synth integration. For even more unconventional sounds, DBA offers the Photo Modulator ($39), a light-sensing expression device that creates wild, jagged sweeps based on the light in your environment.
LED Customisation
Choose between Sky Light or Cyber Light LED colours to match your stage aesthetic. The LEDs provide a vivid, real-time visual representation of your crossover frequency, adding both flair and function.
Pricing and Availability
The Death By Audio Crossover Fuzz is available now from the official DBA webstore and select dealers. You can get the DBA Crossover Fuzz at Thomann for $409/£368/€419.
