• Product Review: [WARM AUDIO / Fluff Drive by Ryoji Saito] Released!

  

  2026/04/20

  We have published a product review by Ryoji Saito, who is active in a wide range of fields as a composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter.
  This time, we are introducing the WARM AUDIO guitar effects pedal,“Fluff Drive.”
  
  This unit is WARM AUDIO’s first signature model, developed in collaboration with Ryan “Fluff” Bruce of the popular YouTube channel “Riffs, Beards & Gear.” Fluff, who is intimately familiar with a vast number of pedals, personally tuned it, transforming a legendary ’80s high-gain platform into a stompbox that combines the “aggressive midrange,” “tight punch,” and “instant clarity” demanded by modern players.
  
  The review includes seven sound samples, along with the following comments from Mr. Saito.
  
  “The quality remains consistently high from low gain to high gain, and the Mid Enhance design is particularly outstanding.”
  “It offers freedom in sound shaping, practical clarity, and comfortable playability. All three are achieved at a high level.”
  “The overall finish, including the appearance, is excellent, making it a pedal that simply makes you think, ‘I want this.’”
  
  If you’re looking for a distortion pedal, be sure to check it out.
