Prescription Electronics DepthDecember, 2006 For a simple all-around fuzz with intuitive features and slammin’ tone, the Depth Charge is a definite go-to. The metal case is of the straightforward home-project variety, but it works. The gold-capped plastic knobs felt rugged and were well spaced, but the labeling was wanting. Metal jacks and a clean-clicking metal switch round out the package, and a lime-green LED handles status reporting. The Depth Charge’s tone was fuzzy and buzzy, but without the self-oscillating freak-out of some more extreme pedals. The blend knob governs the dirt-to-direct ratio, and is an excellent means of preserving low end amidst its crackling mayhem. The tone control is more than a simple high-cut circuit; instead, it’s a set of active filters that substantially alter the Depth Charge’s sonic signature. This pedal has freakiness grounded in robust sonic solidity. DetailsList $250 |
