David Ross Musical Instruments launches the Kickstarter for his new smooth, refined and immersive Submersion Octave Fuzz with parallel blend

David describes his new Submersion guitar pedal as serving as both a clean blend octave-up fuzz and a clean boost. The way it does this is by having the Octave Fuzz as a parallel blend on the Surface control - meaning it works in a similar way to the gain of a Klon Centaur pedal - where the gain is blended in - in parallel.

So with the Surface control all the way down - you’re very much getting a Clean Boost - and then as you ramp up that control it introduces progressively more Octave Fuzz texture in an incredibly controlled and reliable manner.

Controls - Volume (Level), Surface (Upper Octave Fuzz Blend).

David has spent a long time perfecting his own particular voicing of Octave Fuzz - endeavouring to produce a more refined and consistent octave fuzz voicing - which is smoother and more sustaining - and incredibly controllable / adaptable with just 2 knobs.

Part of the secret sauce is definitely the parallel Surface blend - while there are further circuit enhancements to give you so many varied usable and musical voicings of octave fuzz.

If you thought you had already had Octave Fuzz covered - then know that the Submersion renders somewhat differently - and is going to deliver rather distinct textures and timbres by way of how the circuit is set up. For those of you for whom the Octavia is a little too brash and raw sounding - then the Submersion is your new perfect candidate.

At launch the Submersion Octave Fuzz is going for $150, and once the Kickstarter campaign is concluded - the price will rise a fraction to $165 - so it definitely pays to get in early!
