Description

The Skreddy Pedals™ LZ-129 is an aggressive dirty boost pedal with added, flexible clipping options. It is based on the circa 1969 Univox Uni-Drive, which took the form of a volume pedal with a couple of controls on its front face. The LZ-129 features a drive level control with a 6-way rotary switch that acts as a volume control for the incoming signal, and a bottom range control for the volume that is operated by the treadle.

The pedal is designed to push a cranked, dirty amp into overdrive, offering a unique clipping section to emulate "cranked amp" softness, distortion, and compression into a clean amp with plenty of headroom. It also includes a gentle high-cut filter to its output. The tone tends to be clear on the high strings and fuzzier on the low strings, reminiscent of the sound on many songs from the first two Led Zeppelin albums.

The LZ-129 can be used to blast an amp hard or emulate a dirty amp's breakup and compression using the built-in clipping. It offers a proprietary, amp-like clipping section that can be controlled by the "HEADROOM" control, and a mini toggle to take the clipping section completely out of the circuit.

Power requirements for the LZ-129 include a regular 9v negative ground, with no special power requirements. It can be powered by a 9v battery or an external AC adapter using the industry-standard 9v DC plug (5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax), negative tip.

The pedal is priced at $235.00 plus shipping, with a $20 deposit required. It is designed to provide a vintage personality and relies on the user's playing style to create a clean-yet-dirty sound, more power, drive, responsiveness, articulation on high notes, and distortion on low notes. It is not a sustainy fuzz and is suitable for pushing a dirty amp into distortion or maintaining unity gain into a clean amp.
