This is the uncut edit of the intro section from the chatty Dopamine demo which can be seen at https://youtu.be/PUwvErZvstQ. I was having so much fun with this guitar and fuzz combo I found it hard to stop.

Two footswitches, one rather long footprint, two trimpots and a whole lot of fuzz destructo-power. This Melbourne, Australia built fuzz is so much fun. You get two modes: Anti-D and Dopamine. Anti-D reduces the guitar signal hitting the fuzz circuit resulting in a glassier sound. You can set the amount of reduction via an internal trimpot. Dopamine is annihilation and makes no apologies for it. This pedal seems to sit well with any guitar it sees and it's not too fussed about amp types either. That's because it WILL take over your tone. In a good way. If you want one, use the discount code "Burgs". I'm told it will avail you of some savings. :D

Leadbetter Guitar Co. are a fledgling and exciting new band of tone fiends based in Australia down on the Mornington Peninsula where I live. We can expect to hear a lot more from them in the near future. But for now, it's all about the Dopamine.

The Dopamine is being released for sale on Friday 17 February at 10am AEDT. Numbers will be limited.
