In this video we're shooting out 8 of the most killer one-knob fuzz pedals on the market. For this demo we’re using a voodoo labs pedal power 2 plus isolated power supply with everything wired up atop a Purple Tolex Does It Doom Doomboard. The first six pedals in the chain are variations on the classic fuzz face based colorsound one-knob fuzz, with these last two being an octave distortion and an octave fuzz. We’re running everything into a ’69 Laney LBO 60, 60W supergroup set clean.

One Knob To Rule Them All! Which one did you think sounded best? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
tbh they all sounded the same
btw is it me or does the destroyer have two knobs ?
I don’t know about the sounds, but the light on that Cthulhu would definitely summon The Great Old One
I was routing for the zero fret and EQD but honestly the Massif was undeniably the heaviest doomiest one here.
Kevy Does great summary, Kevy!
Does It Doom? Just goes to show how many great choices there are on the market now a days. I’d say almost all them are a great choice for anyone’s rig. I’m fond of the Erupter from EarthQuaker. Love the artwork on that one as well. Plus seeing as how the founder of that pedal company lives not too far from my hometown I gotta represent. They make incredible pedals!
The Destroyer, Fuzzlord, and the Massif.
Nothing can beat Blackarts Toneworks stuff for me, Destroyer all the way.
I need to get one rght now.
Great sounding pedal.
i had a special edtion black Destroyer...way loud..got to met my local police with this pedal
I love my pharaoh and raw heart from black arts
love my Black Forest. Fantastic pedal.
I'm certainly biased since I have a Void Master, but I have to say it and the Erupter brought the tone today. I like their level of presence with the low tuned guitar without turning harsh. Just to throw it out there, the Void Master also sounds massive using E standard tuning. It's a really great pedal and Jason is a cool dude. He knows circuit design too because this thing is super quiet for the amount of gain it has
They all sounded good to me, but the void master had a nice "clarity" to it when compared to the others.
Love the Void Master for sure.
I have the Voidmaster and the Four horsemen Massif by Frost Giant, they are both amazing and similar, yet have a slightly different sound to them. The Four horsemen has a more guttural sounding, grindier fuzz characteristic. The Voidmaster has a bit more clarity like you said, and a bit more dry, ripping quality to the fuzz. The Voidmaster also has a lot more volume on tap. Love them both. Fuzzlord, Frost Giant, Black Art, I have pedals from all of them and they all make incredible fuzz machines. Long Live the Pharoah Supreme.
The Erupter sounds amazing! I actually just bought one after hearing this demo. Thanks!!
Awesome!
I dig the ones with a bit more mids to push them through in a mix like the fuzzlord an cathulu and that orange one was probably my favorite. It's very precise but still massive. The first was way to mid scouped at would literally disappear in a heavy mix in drop tunings without some extra boost or eq.
That destroyer is evil.. Great video, as always!
Heres how I ranked them
1 Massif
2 Void Master
3 Destroyer
4 Cthulhu.
The Void Master & Massif were a toss up for number one.
👍🏻👍🏻
Agreed
I think the Fuzz lord came out on top for me ! Seems the most articulate to my ears. Best in the bizz.
Great pedal.
The Destroyer is my pick. I like how crisp it sounds with the volume rolled off, and how huge it sounds when the swell comes in like a giant wave of sin. The red eye indicators are a nice touch. The Fuzzlord Void Master, the Cthulhu, and the Massif ran a close race for my #2 pick. Excellent demo!
Thanks man! Destroyer getting a lot of love here in the comments.
I bought the massif right after seeing this. I’ve also always loved the erupter from EQD. I love pretty much everything they make lol.
Rad demo ! The Massif and Void Master kick asses, I’d personally go with the Massif because of the form factor. All of them are amazing tho! I love my Erupter to death haha
Definitely all amazing. Thanks for watching man!
That Destroyer sounds great on any setting, I'm impressed! Thanks for the video
Great pedal for sure
Choose your destroyer!
Fuzzlord has the most definition and harmonic extension to me.
So good!
each pedal sounded absolutely feckin awesome (i want them all); each pedal emphasizes slightly different frequencies either subtly or bluntly to produce their different "tones" thinking that a few of those would be excellent layered track over track but even all of them stacked into a fuzzed up mess of gnarliness was something i could listen to & enjoy... however that would represent a significant finincial outlay will have to search for cheaper alternatives....
All very true!
=== Round 1 ===
3:31 4 Horsemen Massif
3:50 Fuzzlord Void Master
4:07 Magic Pedals Dunwich Amps Cthulhu
4:26 Sonic Warfare
4:45 Eruptor
5:05 Black Arts Destroyer (right switch)
5:23 Black Arts Destroyer (left switch)
5:40 Black Arts Destroyer (both)
5:58 Ophidian
6:17 Gandalf
i think the BAD with left or both switches is a clear 'winner'
Mægjįçk Fúùz Cthulhu has the best usability and choppiness for me. Plus that green light is mesmerizing!✨✨✨
💚🦑🦑
Holy shit that M P Cthulhu is fuckin massive and gloriously sick ,although had a slight flashback from the beam of Northern lights spewing from that box.that's a serious contender& oh HellYeah it DOOMS...
Great pedal!
Thank you so much for including us in this mix, you’re amazing bud. Keep it heavy and sleazy
Thanks, Eric. Love that Four Horsemen!
Does It Doom? Got another toy for you that’s about done
Also thank you everyone for your kind words on the Massif, so glad y’all dig it!
Always exciting!
Really dug the void master. Thank you for showing how they clean up with the volume that was super helpful
Yes thing bro. Thanks for watching!
What IS that LED on the Chtulhu pedal LMAO? That thing turned on and abducted me. That thing turned on and activated the alien spacecraft we all know they're hiding at area 51. That thing blinded me and opened my third eye.
I need it.
As soon as I heard. "Bias" I was like. "That one" and was tempted to just skip the video ahead to confirmation bias. Baddum tsss.
The Destroyer wins by having two buttons. Even if one sucked that's a winner.
The very third one caught me as having a nice sound. Chtulu. Yeah I liked that one for some reason.
🦑🦑
I hope Jason reads this your Void Master is kicking ass bro!
It is!
Voidmaster FTW!!! Massif a close 2nd. Cthulhu 3rd, but still a great damn fuzz!!!
Awesome. That’s a bad day for my bank account. Missing the Doom Stick but if I had to choose one, the Chtulu Fuzz. Then, The Destroyer , The Void Master and the Massif.
Nice!
Void master,erupter & destroyer
Sonic Warfare, Massif and the Ritual side of Destroyer for me (in that order).
Black Arts has 3 shades of brutal and they all sound great.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cthulhu Fuzz rounds out low end best & has a warm vintage sound 🔥
Holy Sheeyat. The Black Arts Destroyer was...🤘🤘wow.
Seems to be getting a lot of love!
I grabbed one of the one off Massifs that Frost Giant offered last week (made to four horsemen specs). I picked it up based on your other demo, and after watching this I’m glad I did. I may have to grab a Void Master at some point as well. I was surprised to hear how different the two sounded.
Gonna be Frank. I see alot of love for fuzzlord here but that void doesnt sound like that pre production I can tell you that where that volume knob sits is BS as no fuzzlord I've ever owned had enough volume. As a matter of fact Blackhawks gandolf doesnt sound like what's depicted here. I'm calling BS.
BS as in what? There is zero post production-no gain adjustments, no compression, no normalization, no EQ adjustment, nothing. All pedals were set to register roughly the same output level on the audio interface, and no amp settings were adjusted in between. Sorry your ears don’t hear what you want them to hear. The Fuzzlord is the loudest on the board (aside from the Oath section of the Destroyer) and has its volume dialed back accordingly. 🤷🏻♂️
@@DoesItDoom there is video editing. It's easy to tell where you cut. Anyone who has owned these knows damn well what I'm talking about. Who do you think designed the massif circuit? I know. And it's not frost giant. Though they are friends. Just sick of this fuzzlord marketing shit. They are overpriced clones with basic bitch artwork. And I can tell you this I know damn well any blackhawk pedal has far more volume output than everyone of those except the BAT. Just save your shit for someone who doesnt have a degree in sound design and production from a well known media institute. Kick rocks Steve.
@@historian3540 - dude, this is just a friendly pedal shootout. there's no reason to attack anyone or get defensive. can't you just enjoy the video for what it is? go flex your audio wizard muscles somewhere else. no need to be a dick.
His Torian there is definitly some jump cutting to remove bad takes of my playing and empty space, but that’s it. Many have seen the full 20min uncut footage on my members site, which was uploaded minutes after I shot this, and I’m sure they can vouch for it sounding the same. Feel free to go check it out yourself!
Well, I think I'm ordering that Blackhawk after this.. It's pleasing to my ears.
Nice!
Cthulhu. It has the high gain and still cleans up cool. Dunwich stuff always rules. Awesome vid.
Great pedal!
Great demo man!!!!
Thanks, Jason. Lots of love for that Void Master!
Hell, buy them all! I have a Void Master and a Mr. Black DoomstickII and they are both crushing! Looks like I gotta get the rest for the collection!🤘🏼
Awesome!
Wow epic review all around!!! Erupter sounded just as meaty as I thought it would... Gotta get one!!! But the Destroyer sounds freakin' gargantuan!!!
Thanks man!
Unsurprisingly, the Massif and Void Master sound the best to my ears, balancing articulation, versatility, volume and dirt. These are also the favorite two fuzzes in my arsenal currently. Having said that, I'm very surprised by how great the Blackhawk pedal sounds. I don't have an octave fuzz anymore, and this might be a necessary addition to my board! Fantastic review and riffs as always, Steve! 🤘
Really cool option for a one knob octave fuzz. Not sure there is really anything else like it.
BlackHawk for me but they all sounded really killer
👍🏻🐐
Void Master gets it all!!!
🤘🏻🐐
3 way tie between the Destroyer, Erupter, and FuzzLord ,would be very happy with any of those 3.. all of them are cool in their own way though !
Sweetness. Bring the doom. Fuzzlord and Massif have the tone I'm looking for.
Both great for sure!
That massif made a good first impression
Agreed!
1. Void Master
2. Destroyer
3. Eruptor
Loved them as soon as they kicked in!
All great for sure.
Great Comparison! Liked EQD Erupter, Void Master and Massif the most. My fav one-knob silicon fuzz IRL so far is Emanating Fist Electronics (D.A.M.) Black Dust clone!
But as you said, it's all blue fuzz face variations. You really need to listen to those IRL to hear slight nuances!
A toss between the fuzzlord and the BAT. That oath side hits hard.
Seems to be a lot of love for those two for sure.
Great shootout man! I already have an Erupter which I love, but you just introduced me to the Destroyer and now I absolutely need one. You might be hearing from my wife after the purchase...
Haha!
The Fuzzlord, and The Erupter had the most focused sound. They also seemed like they would cut through a mix? Earth Quaker Devices make great sounding Fuzz in general.
It’s actually nice to be able to dial in and shape Fuzz. Great Fuzz sounds can sometimes get lost in a mix. I guess I like to tweak more than I thought? 🙃
The Zero Fret Ophidian, Black Arts Toneworks Destroyer, Stomp Under Foot Sonic Warfare. They're all great in their own way, and bring the massive droning wall of buzzsaws. I like how most of them have that overloaded/disintegrating texture too.
I just bought the Destroyer today and after watching this video, I can't wait till it gets here!!!
It’s awesome!
EQD Erupter for me, followed closely by the Magic Pedals Cthulhu.
Both have a really great crumbly initial attack and bloom, with a good grindy crumbly sustain, and have good articulation, but they don't have too much articulation and too much clarity like the Fuzzlord.
Void master killed it. Now I want one 😂
Yes!
Great video Steve!!! Asking me to pick a favorite here is like asking me to pick which limb I’d like you to cut off, I can’t do it!!! They were all great, that said, I was really digging the Black Arts Destroyer and Jason’s (The Fuzzlord) Void Master. Again, they were all very very cool!!! Great shootout though brother, it’s a great idea!!! Keep them coming!!! 🤘🤘🤘
This is a tough one. I think I’ve got to go with the Massif though. I like to run a Rangemaster style pedal into my fuzz, so it being a bit darker actually helps with the overall tone. Thanks for the great vid!
Nice! Massif is killer. Thanks for watching!
All sound amazing!!! But for some reason I'm diggin the Massif
Great pedal!
Awesome video! Frost giant was my favorite.
Nice!
Black Arts Destroyer sounded best to me.
Nice!
Man now you gotta do a remake of this video, but include your Fuzzcoven XD
The Ophidian was my favorite. It had a really dark raw tone. All of them were cool though. You probably get what tones you wanted out of any of em i would think
The Massif is exactly what I want in a fuzz pedal 🍻
So good!
Thanks! Im currently playing in a Doom band, but i lacked some good pedals (I was using a RAT clone and a Honeypie Fuzz) but after seeing this video I just went and buy an Erupter. Thanks a lot!!! (i also loved the cthulhu and the Destroyer! but i couldn't find none of those here in Chile, sadly).
Glad you liked the video!!
@@DoesItDoom Just got my Erupter and it sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!! bass loves it too. Its a great pedal for Sludge too.
Hmmm... the Fuzzlord Voidmaster was "cleaner" tonally, and I like the versitility of the Black Arts Destroyer. Shame you didnt have a nine of swords Tyrant on there for comparison
Would have made a nice addition!
..my pick, the whole bottom row..I was terrified just by the looks of that kraken obscura..the sound didn't leave me wanting...
They're all great pedals. I like the Blackarts second switch setting best for full volume stuff but I found it didn't clean up as well as the first setting. The Massif and Fuzzlord sounded great overall but were totally different pedals. Massif seems to carry a bit more low end where the Fuzzlord retains a lot of clarity. I don't think I'd be mad at any one of these if they showed up on my front door. Awesome video man!
Great description. Accurate to what I hear as well in a lot of ways.
The destroyer brings the fire
Killer pedal!
the Gandalf sounded gnarly and gets added points for having the biggest knob
🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
Fuck yes.. Rooting for the Stomp under foot, but I'm excited to see that Blackhawk in action.
Which did you end up liking best??
I own the massif and the void master. Both fantastic and different enough to have both on your board.
For instance I like the massif at 3 o’clocK and the void master at 11.
Really like them both for sure.
Massif took this shootout for me! Love seeing everyone's different tastes in the comments.
I’m a EQD fanboy using the hoof reaper and like the eruptor but also planning to get voidmaster. Hope it comes back in stock. Great demo all these pedals sound really good
Mind my language...but what a beautiful fucking video for doom/stoner rock.
Thanks for watching!
First off I love your channel! favorite has to be FuzzLord Void Master the Massif by Frost Giant. Honestly not sure how I feel about Gandalf. I think it sounded better when you dialed back a bit.
Bottom row - first three sound great, top row - first two. I have the destroyer and it does that sound as good as any of the other ones here.
👍🏻🤘🏻
Great one man! I think sonic warfare is a little closer to the colorsound one, more hairy. That would be my 3rd choice. Destroyer first, Cthulhu second. All are excellent pedals though! Doom on!
I'm tempted to buy the Gandalf one just because I'm a huge fan of lotr🤣🤣
The king 👑 🔊
Fantastic dude so over stimulated!
So stoked.
Haha. Thanks brother.
massif, destroyer, void master....
Aw man!. The void master, Sonic Warfare and the Destroyer definitely piqued my interest!. I love the Void Master, that Sonic Warfare tone on the chords was filthy yet distinguished and the destroyer is quite versatile. Too many puppies!.
All true!
For me, a lot of them are just a little more than I need in terms of filth. I had it narrowed down to my 3 favorites half way through and the last couple riffs settled it. I'm glad that I ended up liking the Void Master the best considering I own it. I think its something with the clarity that I like about it. But if I wanted more dirt, The Massif would be my next choice.
Both great for sure!
I keep coming back to my RAT clone with the LM308 in it personally. I want something that still has some distortion characteristics. These fuzzes all sound broken.
I've been pumped for this one Steve. Sick.
Curious to know which you thought sounded best?!
@@DoesItDoom Was not disappointed. Great demo as always.
I want the Massif now but that Destroyer is tough af. HELP!
@@beau-2222 Thanks brother!
@@DoesItDoom Always Mate 💪
It's a bit of a toss up between the Void Master and The Eruptor, for my tastes
Probably end up getting both, and swapping back and forth 😂😂
Haha! Can’t go wrong with both!
Void master and the destroyer were my favorites.
Those two are getting lots of love!
Great video they all sounded gnarly! I'm personally a fan of the Blackhawk amplification Gandalf, it's just so gritty and heavy I love it.
Yes! 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
bro, i love you.
🖤🖤
Beautiful demo... hard to say what is best... some have a good sound
Thanks man!
I think I have mentioned it before but I fucking love the destroyer
The Fuzzlord and Massif followed by Zero Fret for me.
they all sound amazing, but just as I expected, the Destroyer wins it for me... its why this pedal will NEVER leave my pedalboard. Black Arts Toneworks forever!! and you have some variety with the Destroyer ... you can use the Oath side for your main tone, and hit the Ritual side for occasional leads...
one of the main reasons why I love B.A.T. pedals so much is - not only do they sound heavy as fuck, but they are SO DAMN LOUD!! the output on most of their products is through the roof. AND, most importantly, there's excellent note clarity, and they sit really well in a full band mix. they cut through amazingly well. I can't tell you how many fuzz and distortion and overdrive pedals I've tried that sounded phenomenal on their own, but when I went to use them at my band rehearsal, they got lost in the mix, and for me, when that happens, there's usually no amount of dialing them in that will help.
aside from the Destroyer, I think the Fuzzlord comes in second, for me... it sounds really full and massive, and looks like it has a TON of output on tap.
Very cool man! The fuzzlord is indeed very loud.
I have built a fuzz basing on BA Ritual fuzz with small mode - a hi pass boost for more clarity...killer...killer...that sustain....
My destroyer was supposed to be here over a week ago but USPS is behind. Thanks for making the anticipation that much worse! Ps thank you for doing what we were all thinking at the end. lol
Haha! Great pedal!
destroyer and void master are both great starting points to shape your tone around. void master might win by a nose cause that dude's vids are cool and the artwork is less "food truck trying to look like a tattoo shop."
Definitely either the Massif or Void Master
Great demo! It's good to have so many options. There are an infinite number of combinations if we consider guitars, amps, speakers so it's great to have Options. I like the high mids of the Fuzzlord, but I'd love to have more than one so I can use them in different moments: some sounds better for in the face riffs other for a big heavy atmosphere
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Massif and Destroyer, for me. One knob octave fuzzes don't do it for me. Also feel like the Void Master and Cthulhu are over priced, compared to the others. The only one that should be over $150 is the Destroyer, because you're getting two pedals in one housing.
All at max and a portal finally opens, the final doom test
I know I'm 8 months late here, but I have an Erupter. I prefer bias control over volume. Cut it back to around 11 and garage rock the hell out.
I was turned off by some of these because of the simplicity/lack of adjustability, but after hearing some I might be sold. That left side of the Destroyer sounds amazing.
It does for sure!
@@DoesItDoom And ordered. Thanks for this video.
And now that I have the damn thing, the left channel is practically useless because of the lack of volume control, but the right side is awesome in my rig. Weird how that works...
Great video. All sound great, but I think a Nine of Swords Tyrant would put a lot of these out of their misery. And at less than half the price of most of these. I don't understand why some of these pedals are so expensive.
Wanted to have one but couldn’t get my hands on it in time.
For me it’s between the Massif and Cthulu.. they all sound crushing and I’d play any/all of them haha
Another great video. To me the Fuzz Lord, then Destroyer and Erupter. To me those 3 sound more balanced. And the reason I don’t give the Destroyer #1, is because although it is a one knob, it has more features to shape the tone, nevertheless great pedal.
One thing to keep in mind with the Erupter is that it has a bias knob, not a level. It's permanently on max, but the bias allows for a LOT of different fuzz sounds.
Dizzle without an R Nice, thanks for clarifying that
