Tune Voodoo Skull

The Tune Voodoo Skull was designed to fix your Les Paul-style guitar tuning issues. This custom skull design straightens the angle of the D and G strings on a three-a-side guitar headstock.

Essentially acting like a string tree that straightens out the string pull over the guitar nut.

No Modifications

Tune Voodoo Skull is handmade in Finland and uses the existing truss rod cover screw holes to affix in place. This means you don not have to permanently modify or add any new holes to your guitar, which is great news.

Its design means that it will only work on guitars that have straight-slotted nuts, and will not be effective if used on ones that have angled nut slots.

Great Eastern FX Co Focus Fuzz

The Great Eastern FX Co Focus Fuzz is a high-quality fuzz pedal built in the UK. The circuit design features both NOS germanium and modern silicon transistors.

Focus Fuzz

Fuzz & Focus

It comes with a super simple set of controls for Focus, Fuzz and Level.  Level sets the overall output volume, Fuzz adjusts gain and bias voltage simultaneously. When set to lower gain it is biased like a standard overdrive/distortion pedal. But if you turn the gain up then the bias drops and gives you asymmetrical square-wave clipping like a vintage fuzz.

Finally, the Focus gradually adds more gain and bite. Perfect for helping you stand out in the band, helping to cut through in the mix.

MSRP – £249/€299
