| “The Voodoo-Axe is the Axis for the 90s, with bigger gain stage and enormous amount of output” “where it really differs from Roger Mayers excellent Voodoo-One , is it’s extended Low EQ control. Dial up the “fatness” to take your fuzz way down deep – even for tunings dropped as low as C#, making it perfect for Sepultura-style heavy bass riffing.” “Use your guitar volume control and the gain control to take you from Gilmour-esque rock through Stevie Ray blues and right into Sepultura scooped midgrunge.” “It’s perfect for hard rock and blues, and is blisfully free of the tinniness that you get from retro-style fuzz pedals.”
Total Guitar Oct/-96, issue 23 page 30. “Definitely a fuzz box rather than a distortion pedal, the Voodoo-Axe gives a real buzz-saw edge to the sound, with a little compression �duck� at the start of a big chord. The tone knob is re-labelled Fatness and accordingly adds (or takes away) some low middle body, leaving the top end untouched: one frequent criticism of Sixties�fuzz pedals was their tendency to thin out the tone (who cared when you were such an exciting new sound), but the Voodoo-Axe gives you control over this without tampering unnecessarily with the real bottom end. Turn the gain up full and it�s an abrasive and totally thrilling distortion… Single, high notes tend to scream out, rather than sing out, while heavy, low E-string riffing makes the sound start to brake up in an exciting way.” ” As for the Voodoo-Axe… Well, just try it out and tell me it isn�t the most fun you�ve had with a guitar for ages.” Making Music Dec / -96 ” The Voodoo-Axe offers a more in-vogue fuzztone sound than the Voodoo-1�s thicker, more mainstream distortion. It gets fizzy and flappy on full gain, and when backed off will add sizzle and squash to an already crunchy tone. The fatness control does exactly what it says, adding breath to the distortion sound as you turn it clockwice; in fact it seems to get fatter the more gain you add. As ever with Mayer�s distortion boxes, the Voodoo-Axe is very reactive to volume and pickup changes. With a Strat sounds range from Texas-type sizzle to mushed-out Hendrix with plenty of suck and sonic corruption .” The Guitar Magazine Oct /-96 “The Voodoo-Axe will provide an ideal way for de-tuners and seven stringers alike to get gutsy tones that don’t go all mushy at the bottom. Isn’t it about time you thought about getting some classic tones into your pedal chain? It may not turn you into the next Hendrix, but it’ll give your sound an original flavour that no budget multi-fx processor can get close to.” |
