Holy Island Audio unleashes visceral and unruly Blast Radius Expression Controlled Oscillating Fuzz with 3 independently selectable Gain Stages

Holy Island Audio’s Gwion makes some incredibly otherworldly circuits. Often in the ’Noise’ camp, but always intriguing and uniquely brilliant. I am determined to do more to support his output - starting with his new Blast Radius Oscillating Fuzz.

Controls - Starve, Gain Stage 1, Master, Gain Stage 2, Blast : Gain / Oscillate, Gain Stage 3.

A very straightforward  control topology - 3 main knobs - Starve, Master and Blast, and then 3 toggle switches for each of the independent gain stages - each of which hits a little differently and where they combine in interesting ways.

This is a somewhat runaway pedal as is usually the case for feedback oscillating fuzzes - this is an exhilarating fuzz pedal in the best tradition - where you are constantly wrestle for control.

Us proper fuzz fans love that aspect of feedback oscillation - but it makes some of those blues overdrive riffers nervous.

I always thought the Angel Teeth would be my first Holy Island Audio pedal - but I think this new one it the perfect jump-off point for me.

The Blast Radius can be yours for just £135 on the Holy Island Audio Webstore - which is quite evidently a bargain!

I will for sure be getting one of these - of course by budget for this month is long since blown - I will hope to pick one up at the Glasgow Stompbox Social on he 16th August - which both Gwion and I will be attending!
