Toneworks are an American-based company that makes guitar pedals with cool names like Destroyer, Crown of Horns and Witch Burner, featuring awesome and sometimes scary graphics to add to the rock and roll feel.

The Fnord pedal is an octave/fuzz type circuit with some twists thrown in. It blends a scrambler and octave type fuzz with a traditional fuzz/distortion. The Fnord will move from zip/Velcro style tones all the way to a full-throated distortion or a combination of the two.

This pedal operates on a Standard 9VDC power supply with no battery connection. The body of the Fnord is a simple white colour, whilst the sepia-toned graphic depicts a textured scene of a bunch of serious looking guys with skulls on their clothes in an  old fashioned photo design, with a green illuminati=-style triangle on top (tying in with the name nicely)

The Fnord features a foot switch and three tone adjusters: Filter, Fnord and Silence. We received the Fnord in a box wrapped up in brown paper - I don’t know if this was because it was a sample item or if this is the usual packaging: it was refreshing not to have to battle through multiple layers of packaging, but this was at the complete opposite end of the scale and a nice box with some branding would look better.

The Fnord is well made pedal with plenty of fuzzy tones to play with that will rock up any tune you choose to play. RRP $142.79
