PUPPY — Distortion with a Growl

Born from a collaboration between Freak Guitar Lab—the guitar brand founded by Mattias “IA” Eklundh of Sweden’s progressive metal trio Freak Kitchen—and Kogalashi Sound Magic, PUPPY is a distortion pedal built for players who demand both brutality and clarity.

Mattias, renowned for his expressive mastery of extended-range guitars, insisted on one essential goal:

Massive low-end power without sacrificing note definition.

The result is a pedal capable of delivering thick, heavy distortion while keeping every note articulate—even in the deepest registers.

Designed for Extended Range. Built for Modern Tone.

Whether you're playing:

• 8-string guitars

• 7- or 9-string instruments

• Drop tunings such as Drop D

• Or simply pushing a standard 6-string into heavier territory

PUPPY responds with authority, depth, and precision.

At the heart of the pedal lies the signature Growl control, allowing you to sculpt the low frequencies that define modern multi-string distortion.

Shape Your Distortion. Define Your Voice.

PUPPY offers a wide tonal range through three powerful shaping controls:

Growl

Dial in the low-end response.
Perfect for extended-range guitars and down-tuned riffs, delivering deeper, heavier impact without muddiness.

Texture

Adjust the distortion character.
Turn it up for an open, raw aggression—or roll it back for a smoother, tighter feel.

Edge

Fine-tune the high frequencies with two distinct voicings:

• SILVER — fat, open, and wide

• GOLD — smooth, rich, and familiar

Ideal for everything from crushing rhythm tones to singing lead lines.

Complete Control

Level

Master output volume—your final stage for balancing the pedal in any rig.

Gain

Massive distortion is available even at minimum settings, with plenty of saturation on tap when pushed further.

PUPPY

Heavy. Clear. Extended.

A distortion pedal engineered for modern players—and approved by one of the most unique voices in progressive metal.
