CopperSound unleashes really cool Ion Mini Phase Locked Loop style Fuzz with 3 fixed presets / voicings onboard

I own a number of PLL types - the slightly synthy harmonizing fuzz - and CopperSound has miniaturised that brilliantly. My favourite PLL’s are the Tark Audio Squidink, and the Beetronics Swarm - which are much simplified from the original Schumann PLL.

And this Ion is a simpler version still. Just one Fuzz (intensity) knob, and then a 3-way Mode / Frequency Selector :

• UP : High-frequency resonance; maximum filter sensitivity for sizzling, cosmic lift-off.
• MIDDLE : Balanced sensitivity; searing sweeps that track and interact energetically with your picking dynamics.
• DOWN : Sub-octave square wave grit; ION’s most "traditional" mode, allowing the raw octave-down tone to shine.

These are $149 direct from CopperSound, and available also in the UK courtesy of my friend Steve @ FX Pedal Planet - for the equivalent £149.

I will definitely be coming for one of these - most likely early next month.
