Mantra Overdrive
MANTRA OVERDRIVE by BLACKOUT EFFECTORS: equally capable of invoking the sacred sounds of a classically refined overdrive AND summoning wickedly raunchy drive, with more crunch on tap than the “overdrive” moniker usually entails. With such a wide palette of tones and character the MANTRA will feel just as at home at the feet of the stalwart blues crowd as it will the quintessential rock & roll protagonists.
The MANTRA utilizes amp-like circuit architecture, with multiple cascaded MOSFET and JFET gain stages to insure the most natural, touch-sensitive overdrive conditions possible and a seemingly endless range of clean-up with your guitar’s volume knob. We burned a lot of midnight oil to make sure that the MANTRA could get down with vintage-type, low output single coils and hot humbucker pickups alike. From gently fingerpicked melodic phrases to bludgeoning riffs that you’ll want to play over and over and over…
CONTROLS:
BASS |Cut it or crank it. One thing is for sure, you won’t be left wanting.
TREBLE | Crank it up without losing any lowend or drop it down to emphasize those mids. Smooth out your highs or let ‘em sizzle!
GAIN | From vintage tweed-like chime to blazing drive.
VOLUME | Like it loud? We thought you might.
Comprised of all discrete transistors/components and absolutely no diode clipping, the MANTRA is genetically far removed from the run-of-the-mill overdrive fare and the sonic difference is clear. Like all Blackout pedals, these gems are handmade (with precision & balls!) at our shop in Asheville, NC, with high-quality components and rock solid construction throughout.
Chassis: Beautiful glossy transparent gold finish with a blood red silk screen graphic. The transparent gold allows a lot of the chassis’ natural surface variations to come through, providing a finish with real depth for a three dimensional look.
The Twosome is a meaty fuzz sandwich made up of the Musket Fuzz pedal and the deluxe version of the Fix’d Fuzz pedal. Both circuits run independently in an A/B configuration allowing you to dial in your perfect fuzz or overdrive tone on each and then switch back and forth between them. You won’t find more dirt under one roof – unless you live in a mud hut.
There’s a lot more to explain, so read the manual:
Blackout Effectors, handmade audio effect pedals forged in the belly of mountains. Designed by
us, for us ... but available to you.

Fix'd Fuzz
The FIX’D FUZZ V2 is the hydra-headed dragon of handmade fuzz boxes/boosts/overdrives. Replete with two polar-opposite fuzz tones, a full-bodied boost through light overdrive and a (wide) tone sculpting stage. It delivers BIG diversity in sound - all in a SMALL footprint package designed specifically for the cramped pedalboard. All 4 stages of the circuit are bypassable via their respective toggles, meaning you can add/remove from the stack as your black heart desires.

Musket Fuzz
The logical progression from then to now, the MUSKET is based on one of the best selling fuzz circuits of all time - taken three giant muffy steps further. With tasteful adjustment of the PRE, FUZZ, FOCUS, MIDS, TONE & VOLUME controls, the MUSKET traverses the decades, the continents and the many iterations of the classic 4-stage fuzz circuit and beyond.

Whetstone Analog Phaser
The vintage sound of an analog OTA-based phaser melded with contemporary parameters out the wazoo. From classic and not-so-classic, subtle and over-the-top phase tones to seasick pitch vibrato, ringmod, glitchy octave effects, to outright strange phased/autowah/tremolo-like hybrid sounds.
