Cop the Spirit of Working-class Fuzz Tone
Like yin and yang, for every By-Tor, there must be a Snow Dog for Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson. Unlike the monstrous bite and growl of the Knight of Darkness, the Snow Dog takes a turn toward the fuzz and octave sounds of rock guitar that spawned an era of music full of peace and love. Based on a popular early-'70s design, this dual-mode octave-fuzz pedal delivers an expansive array of vintage tones from its simple control layout, ranging from cutting lead tones to collapsing walls of sound. Kick on the Octave effect and transform your sound with the perfect blend of added semitones to send your playing to the stratosphere. Sweetwater’s community of rock guitarists is quick to note the further sonic expansion of the Snow Dog via its Order switch, putting the Octave effect in front of the Fuzz effect, giving you all the power you need to unite your audiences with explosive sonic fury.

Change your order of effects
The By-Tor and Snow Dog do share some similarities in function: they both possess an order switch that allows you to swap the order of each section within the circuit. By switching to Fuzz First mode, the sustain is rich and seemingly never-ending with subtle hints of octave notes following your every touch. Switching to Octave First mode unleashes a wave of fuzz lead guitar purity, pushing the Octave effect further into the mix, perfect for those big jam session solos with a cutting tone designed to scare away any centurion of evil.
