ISP Fetish Overdrive Distortion FET Pedal

What’s your fetish? Blues? Classic Rock? Modern Rock? ISP Technologies has got you covered with the new Fetish™ Distortion/Overdrive Pedal. With a year of testing the design and utilizing field effect transistors for tube like dynamics, the Fetish Pedal has moved from the drawing board to production and is adaptable to a variety of musical styles. The Fetish™ can be used as an overdrive, distortion, clean boost, or treble booster depending on settings. And with the addition of a variable “fat” control, provides body and depth to a variety of settings. Packaged in the same rugged, beautifully polished smooth chrome chassis as the famous ISP Decimator Pedal, the Fetish™ will be an awesome addition to your pedal board!

For Modern Rock, the Fetish can be used as a boost in the front end of the amp for extra sensitivity. For Classic Rock, there is enough gain to duplicate the gain of a classic stack. The gain structure has the ability to clean up with a flick of the volume control on the guitar. The pedal can also be used as a boost for Blues oriented styles without changing the voicing of the amp. Also, as the Fetish is boosted in the clean setting as the level is increased, the signal pushes a final stage in the circuit to allow for a creamy overdrive effect.

Features:

  • GAIN – Sets the amount of distortion desired. With the gain
    set to minimum, the distortion circuit is set to unity
    gain allowing for clean boost settings via the output
    control.

  • OUTPUT- Adjusts the overall level.

  • TONE- Adjusts the amount of treble after the distortion
    circuit.

  • FAT- Adjusts the amount of bass to the overall circuit.

  • 4558 IC in distortion circuit

  • 9v dc Battery and 9v dc adaptor jack

  • effect on LED

Suggested Control Settings

Here are some sound clips recorded by us right here for each of the suggested settings. They were made with a Fender Strat into a clean amp type setting with a hint of distortion. The Fetish Pedal Settings were made exactly according to the manufacturer's suggestions though you can coax endless combinations of overdrive, boost and or fatness with this super excellent sounding pedal. I have AB'd it up against several popular 'boo-teek' pedals and it beat them all for pristine, transparent and having the fattest and nastiest boost and distortion tones, bar none!

Note: First, you will hear the guitar played clean for a few seconds and then with the effect applied.

Additional Notes:  ISP Technologies has 2 Overdrive/Distortion type pedals. The Fetish Pedal and the Totally Blues Pedal. The Fetish Pedal utilizes FETs or (Field Effects Transistors) to create a dynamic and soft clipping gain boost effect prior to the distortion circuit. Plus with the added gain structure the Fetish pedal has more gain than typical overdrives. Also for tone shaping, the distortion circuit uses a 4558 IC. With the gain structure utilized, the Fetish can be used as a clean boost and or a treble boost. The Totally Blues is based on asymmetrical clipping like most tube amplifiers and is a softer type of clipping than FETs + Distortion circuit.

Recommendations: If you're having trouble deciding which pedal is best suited to your playing style, keep in mind that the asymmetrical clipping is softer and more tube like in the overdriven settings, while the Fetish is a bit hotter and can get downright nasty, with lots of overdrive gain capabilities for the occasional blues and heavy rock or metal player. You can also get milder overdrives from the Fetish pedal, but it is more designed for the heavier or treble boost tones and sounds a bit heavier in all positions compared to the softer clipping Totally Blues pedal. If you're a blues player, or light classic rock player, then the Totally Blues is definitely the smoothest, cleanest and fattest pedal for you. If you're a heavy rocker and Black Sabbath is more up your alley, then you definitely want to go with the Fetish Pedal. Neither is better than the other. They're just different in how they operate and sound sonically. Why not get one of each?!
