Overview

Built as a tandem distortion/overdrive with parallel circuits, separate controls and an Alchemy knob to blend the two signals for even gnarlier sound, the Red Witch Famulus is designed to handle all of a guitarist's heavy tone needs. Capable of going from a warm, bluesy bump to a buzzsaw 8th note distortion chug, this pedal covers an enormous spectrum of overdriven effects and can be an excellent complement to a doom, garage, or inidie setup.

  • Great overdrive

    This won’t heavily distort your tone but if you want a great overdrive, this has a lot of options without a ton of knobs or the same tubescreamer sound as so many others.

    Bought this pedal, had it on my board for a year, didn’t like it, tried to sell it, couldn’t sell it, gave it a second chance, now it’s awesome!

    I’m using this pedal with a telecaster and a fender jr pro III. The pedal doesn’t seem to have much gain in each channel. To me, it sounds bad with a clean amp, but sounds great when combined with my amp’s natural distortion. My favorite setting is both gains dimed, 50/50 blend, volume slightly bo…

  • Gainy tight attack with drop in low-end.

    Verified Purchase

    I've read about some quality issues with this pedal, but it's been reliable and effective for me so far. I paid $120.00 used which was hard to turn down; but the price-new is much higher than I'd be willing to pay as there are definitely better bangs for the buck out there - such as an OCD or a Cus…

    Unfortunately, after reading and hearing so much on this pedal and dreaming of it, I happened to read about mechanical problems of the circuits. I got mine last week and the day after I first plugged it in, pressed the buttom and...nothing. Nothing worked. Plus a crackling inside. Really disappointing.
