It comes together to create an industrial form and the [fuzz pedal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratus) sits under a guitarist's foot. It helps with creating an altered sound of heavy distortion that can be described as a more fuzzy audio by tapping their foot. Ferrier spent a lot of his childhood in Canada [working on guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-guitar-1), bikes, and snowboards, making this completely fluent to him. It is detailed with a [textured surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-morton) and done so purposely in order to resist or hide any chipping that is usually seen on these pedals. The base is a flat bottom complete with indented areas that are meant for dials.
