Go Go Gadget Brain

Industrial crossover distortion inspired by the ZVex Machine — jagged, mechanical, and unmistakably mean.

The Go Go Gadget is NOKILL's take on the infamous ZVex Machine — a pedal designed specifically to sound "horrible" in all the right ways. While every other drive box targets the peaks of your signal, the Go Go Gadget attacks the slopes. By utilizing rare crossover distortion, it generates a jagged, triple-frequency grind that fills the sonic gaps where other pedals go quiet.

Built to be the ultimate "secret weapon" for your pedalboard, the Go Go Gadget isn't meant to play nice — it's meant to cut. Place it before your favorite fuzz or high-gain distortion to add a layer of serrated, industrial texture that refuses to be buried in the mix. It transforms smooth sustain into a rhythmic, oscillating growl and turns standard power chords into a wall of harmonically rich, mechanical chaos.

If you're looking for a boutique distortion pedal that defies convention, the Go Go Gadget is your ticket to the fringe.

FAQ

What is crossover distortion? It's a type of distortion that targets the zero-crossing region of the signal rather than the peaks — producing a jagged, fizzy harmonic content unlike conventional clipping.

How do I use it? Try it in front of a fuzz or high-gain distortion to add industrial texture. It also stands alone as a unique-sounding dirt box.

Will it work on bass? Yes — it adds a serrated edge that cuts through dense mixes.

What power supply do I need? Standard 9V DC center-negative.
