The Rainger FX Chop Fuzzz is an unapologetically wild, all-analog gated fuzz pedal that pushes sonic boundaries and redefines what a fuzz box can do. It’s the latest creation in the Dr Freakenstein series—an extreme pedal built for players who want more than just distortion.
At its core, the Chop Fuzzz delivers the same massive, full-frequency fuzz circuit that made the original Dr Freakenstein Fuzz legendary—earth-shaking lows, searing highs, and incredible sustain. Despite its aggressive tone, it remains impressively quiet when you’re not playing, thanks to a built-in noise gate that keeps things tight and controlled.
Beyond the fuzz, the Chop Fuzzz introduces two types of modulation, a unique pressure-operated expression pad, a tunable drone function capable of ring mod tones, and a hard-edged tremolo effect—all interactively designed for maximum sonic experimentation.
The OVERTONE control acts like a wah with the texture of a phaser, controllable via knob, the included Igor pressure pad, or CV input. The LFO section modulates the signal with triangle-wave movement, offering both slow, evolving motion and fast, audio-rate oscillation—switchable on the fly. Engage the CHOP function for squarewave tremolo that can pulse, stutter, or slice your tone into rhythmic textures.
A Hi/Lo intensity switch, modular synth CV compatibility, and the signature “eye meter” visual feedback complete the experience. Housed in a custom Rainger FX enclosure with illuminated controls and true bypass switching, the Chop Fuzzz stands as the most advanced Dr Freakenstein pedal ever made—an extreme pedal for extreme sounds.
Highlights:
• All-analog gated fuzz with massive output and built-in noise gate
• Overtone filter for wah- or phaser-like effects
• Dual-speed LFO modulation for deep or audio-rate movement
• Squarewave “Chop” tremolo for rhythmic stutter or synth-like textures
• Pressure-operated Igor expression pad included
• CV input for modular synth or sequencer control
• Custom Rainger FX enclosure with illuminated “eye meter” and LED indicators
• True bypass design for pure signal integrity
