Product and amplifier names are trademarks of their owners and are used here only to identify the equipment each model is based on, as the device makers' own lists do. Gridleak is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these companies.

Fractal cannot use another maker’s trademark to sell a model of their pedal, so every model gets a new name. “Face Fuzz” is a Fuzz Face. “Griddle Cake” is a Crowther Hot Cake.

Fractal do not publish a complete model decoder. These are the models they explicitly describe in the Blocks Guide—mostly drives, fuzzes and a few delays. The amp models are named in the same style but Fractal make no public statement about what each one is based on, so they are not listed here.
