If you're a guitarist based in the US, you already know the name. Truetone Music is the kind of shop that stocks Fano, Dunable, and Matchless alongside Fender and Gibson — a place where the people behind the counter can actually tell you why a pedal sounds the way it does, not just hand it to you in a box.
They carry Catalinbread, Death By Audio, EarthQuaker, ThorpyFX. The boutique overdrive pedal and fuzz pedal shelf at Truetone is a serious place. Landing on it, alongside that company, means something.
We're proud to be there.
What's In Stock — And What You Should Win
All three of our current pedals are live on the Truetone floor and online at truetonemusic.com/collections/animal-factory-pedals:
- Godeater+ Dynamic Bass Distortion — we took the bass distortion pedal used by Tony Levin and Boys Noize (currently on tour with Nine Inch Nails), and made it even better. Filter-keyed sidechain. Advanced crossover mode. 24V internal headroom.
- Dirty Mirror Dual Parallel Fuzz — two fuzz circuits, run in parallel, fed through an integrated modulated delay. Chemical Burn meets Big Muff Pi meets envelope-follower chaos. Not subtle. Not apologising.
- Ozymandias Dual Overdrive/Distortion — the boutique dual overdrive pedal that Truetone has made its Pedal of the Month.
That last point deserves its own paragraph.
The Ozymandias Dual Overdrive— Pedal of the Month, and Up For Grabs
The Ozymandias is named after Shelley's poem about a Pharaoh Rameses II, who built an the Egyptian empire, of which only remnants and dust remain.
The pedal is less humble. Two completely independent channels — CROOK (fat, amp-like, breathing saturation) and FLAIL (mid-focused, compressed, vicious in the best possible way) — that you can run in series, in parallel, or split across two separate amplifiers. If that isn't enough, three additional modes allow for clever overdrive stacking or switching without having to tap-dance.
Each channel has its own input and output jacks. Each has three-way hard/soft clipping switches. The whole thing runs at an internal 22V for headroom that most dual overdrive distortion pedals can't touch.
Truetone has selected it as their Pedal of the Month. And they're giving one away.
Head to their newsletter signup for giveaway details. Or just buy one. Some things aren't worth leaving to chance.
Truetone is one of those places where great gear is given the value and respect it deserves. We're glad to finally be in it.
