Giudis Pedals | Ep. 21 - Golden Age of Gear
This week on The Golden Age of Gear, Derek and Joey take a first look at one of the most unique pedals to ever grace the show—a wild Italian fuzz unit from Giudis Pedals, built into a repurposed military control box.
Sent to Joey by Giulio from Italy, this one-of-a-kind stompbox delivers gritty octave fuzz tones, a starve switch for voltage freakouts, and a vintage enclosure that might’ve once launched missiles (or at least operated a walkie talkie).
We plug it in for the very first time on camera—and yeah, it rips. Think Bosstone meets DIY art project meets Cold War relic.
We also dive into our love for other weird pedals with custom enclosures, talk about fuzz tones that still manage to retain stringiness and surprising dynamics, and reminisce about some of the wildest gear we’ve seen—like pedals built into literal toolboxes and guitars made from vintage Micro Machines playsets.
Got a bizarre or beautiful DIY pedal you think we should check out? Drop a comment—we want to see the weirdest stuff you’ve got.
