Intensive Care Audio has unveiled its latest offering: the Death Muff fuzz pedal. As a UK retailer and authorised dealer, FX Pedal Planet Online Store is pleased to share the news with guitarists across the country.

Intensive Care Audio is a London based boutique pedal maker known for its bold approach and medical motif. The company blends quirky packaging and naming with serious tone design. Its pedals commonly arrive in “prescription” packaging, complete with tongue in cheek dosing instructions and warnings. They are built in London using premium components and feature soft touch relay true bypass switching.

FX Pedal Planet Online Store is proud to be one of the official dealers for Intensive Care Audio. This means UK customers get direct access to new and existing Intensive Care Audio models without high import hassle or markup.

Prior to the Death Muff, the Intensive Care Audio range includes a number of distinctive pedals. These include the Life Support (overdrive and boost) and others in the “prescription” series. That lineup has already made a name among players who seek pedals with personality and strong sonic character.

The Death Muff is a fresh entry in the fuzz category for Intensive Care Audio. Its marketing writes it as belonging to “a class of medicines known for their highly aggressive nature,” making it one for those who want saturation that pushes boundaries.

This pedal offers four primary controls to shape your tone:

• VOLUME sets the overall output. As the “prescription” copy wryly notes, if you’re unfamiliar with volume controls, it’s not a medicine you should casually use
• FUZZ is the main gain control, but interacts dynamically with the Chaos and Tone knobs — and also responds to changes in your guitar’s volume knob for expressive roll back control
• CHAOS adjusts saturation level and tone; when turned fully clockwise, it can introduce a gating effect on the signal
• TONE colours the fuzz, ranging from bright and fizzy to darker and woollier extremes, helping you to tailor the pedal to different guitars or amp settings

Because all Intensive Care Audio pedals are built in London with quality components and use relay based true bypass routing, users can expect robust build quality and quiet switching.

FX Pedal Planet Online Store will stock the Death Muff, supplying it to customers worldwide directly through our website. When it launches, visitors to FX Pedal Planet Online Store will be among the first in Britain to get hold of it.

As always, FX Pedal Planet’s customers can choose to purchase via our website or via Reverb. It’s worth noting that our website prices are typically about 10 % lower than equivalent Reverb listings, thanks to the lower selling overheads on our own site.
