Booooom and Blast!

Get Biffy in a Box with Simon’s new pedal, built in limited runs by his tech!

“Me and my guitar tech Chard [Richard Pratt] took about two years of prototyping to get it where we wanted. We wanted two channels, an overdrive and a fuzz, and the most options without being overblown. My main aim for Biffy is just the best distortion sound I can possibly have. [For the ‘Blast’ fuzz] the main aim was volume and just being able to get that square wave. I love that Jack White fuzz tone, real 60s, everything totally blown out. The Biffy tone is the Boooom. All my guitar sounds have been based on my very first Peavey Bandit and Boss Metal Zone. Ever since then I’ve just been trying to sophisticate that sound, add detail and depth to it. That’s what this pedal does.

You can put it straight into any amp and it really gives you a level of power. You can have clarity if you want, or you can have the real fuzz and real overblown sound. It was important that if you plugged your guitar in, you were getting a taste of my guitar sound. It’s hard to do that in one box, but Chard did a fantastic job.
