At lower intensities it has a great muff-like sound but with a lot more character. At higher intensities, it becomes a disharmonic fuzz bliss that reminds many of the more scrambled fuzzes of old. People have compared the Soda Meiser’s sound to that of the Smashing Pumpkins and Jeff Buckley. I find it to be the perfect pedal for adding layers of fuzz over synth and bass when recording in the studio or on tour.
The Soda Meiser was recently featured in the amazing DVD, The Art of the Stompbox, featuring Nels Cline and Henry Kaiser. Check out a clip of Nels Cline demonstrating the Soda Meiser in action!
