Paul Glover, a Berklee College of Music graduate and recipient of the prestigious Steve Vai Scholarship, is no stranger to the world of guitar gear. With endorsements from Laney Amplification and Ibanez Guitars, Paul’s expertise shines in his YouTube channel, where he shares gear reviews, demos, lessons, and vlogs that resonate with musicians of all levels. In his latest demo, Paul turns his attention to the Stumpbox Pedals Get Fuzzed Silver Knob, a fuzz pedal that blends vintage inspired tones with modern reliability.

Stumpbox Pedals is the brainchild of Andy Banks, whose 30 year career in electrical and electronics engineering led to his passion project of creating exceptional effects pedals. Drawing from vintage classics, Andy combines modern tweaks to make pedals that are perfect for today’s musicians. Every pedal is designed with an analogue based approach, ensuring reliability, performance, and tonal quality. Notably, Stumpbox Pedals also reflects a commitment to conservation, donating £1 from every pedal sold to support Monkey World, a primate rescue centre in Dorset.

The Get Fuzzed Silver Knob is a standout fuzz pedal that captures the essence of tones made famous by Hendrix, Gilmour, Eric Johnson, and Uli Jon Roth. Powered by BC183/182 transistors, it produces the smooth and harmonically rich fuzz tones we all love, while minimising noise and avoiding the temperature sensitivities associated with vintage germanium fuzz. The pedal’s custom features include smoothing capacitors to eliminate oscillation at high gain, a refined output stage for improved volume control, and a power filter capacitor to reduce noise. Its wide ranging bias control is particularly impressive, allowing players to fine tune their fuzz tone for ultimate personalisation.

Paul Glover’s demo dives deep into the capabilities of this fuzz pedal. From warm, vintage fuzz tones to bold, cutting edge sounds, Paul showcases the dynamic range and responsive nature of the Get Fuzzed Silver Knob. He explores how its harmonics shine through in various playing styles and demonstrates how the pedal reacts beautifully to subtle changes in a guitar’s volume knob. Whether you’re a studio player seeking rich, textured tones or a live performer looking for reliability and character, Paul’s demo highlights how this pedal delivers on all fronts.
