Alan Robert, bassist and co-founder of Life of Agony — a Metal Hall of Fame inductee whose landmark debut album River Runs Red was named by Rolling Stone as one of the "Greatest Metal Albums of All Time" — has partnered with legendary audio engineer Terry Welty to release Fuzz Off & Die, an octagon-shaped bass fuzz pedal designed to deliver ferocious aggression without sacrificing the weight and authority of the low end.

Welty is widely respected for his engineering contributions to Geezer Butler's signature bass products, including the EMG Geezer Butler Signature pickups and the Ashdown Head of Doom amplifier — gear celebrated for preserving massive low-frequency fundamentals while delivering unmistakable grit and power. That same philosophy is baked directly into Fuzz Off & Die, a pedal engineered from the ground up for bass players, not adapted from guitar circuits.
Hand-built in the USA and inspired by a snarling 1972 fuzz circuit, Fuzz Off & Diemaintains mass, punch, and presence as gain increases — allowing bassists to push their sound to the brink without thinning out their signal. Its distinctive octagon-shaped enclosure reflects both its uncompromising attitude and road-ready construction.
FROM THE CREATORS:
Alan Robert explains the years-long pursuit behind the pedal: "I’ve gone through countless fuzz pedals over the years, on the road and in the studio, and some came close to the sound I’ve been chasing but Fuzz Off & Die is the sound I’ve been hearing in my head. It doesn’t betray the soul of the bass — it adds aggression without losing the weight of the low end. Fuzz Off & Die is all about attitude, tone, and keeping your low-end frequencies huge — with no compromises."
Terry Welty adds: "Bass players are usually forced to give something up when they step on a fuzz. With Fuzz Off & Die, the mission was simple — keep the low end intact no matter how aggressive the circuit gets. Everything about this pedal was engineered to hit hard, stay massive, and feel alive under your fingers."
