The Diabolik by Malekko is a signature analog fuzz pedal designed in collaboration with Justin Meldal-Johnsen. It is based on the B:Assmaster circuit and has been specifically tuned to allow more low end to pass through both the Clean and Fuzz channels. The pedal offers a wide range of tonal possibilities, from subtle harmonic fuzz to extreme, mangled low-end squash, making it suitable for use with both bass and guitar.
Specifications:
- Weight: 0.64 lbs
- Dimensions: 5.5 x 3.25 x 2.5 inches
- Current draw: Approximately 50mA
- Power: 9V battery or optional 9VDC negative tip regulated power supply
- Made in-house in Portland, Oregon
The Diabolik features intuitive controls for fuzz and clean levels, as well as a Squish switch for further tonal shaping. It is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure, making it durable for extended use.
The pedal is capable of generating characteristically crisp and aggressive tones, thanks to its preset harmonic spectrum setting, allowing for sharp octave overtones and aggressive tones.
Overall, the Diabolik by Malekko is a versatile and well-crafted fuzz pedal that offers a unique range of fuzz and harmonic capabilities, making it a valuable addition to any musician's pedalboard.
