Kuro T-120: Does it Doom?

[Matt Dean]

A couple of months ago, my music making partner talked me into buying a FuzzLord Fet 120, which is a Matamp GT 120 emulating distortion pedal. It's not bad for what it is, but I got to thinking that I wanted to try a Dunwich DA 120. So I started searching for one. Magick Pedals makes them now that Nick at Dunwich has moved on to raising a family and working his ass off in a day job, but doesn't have any recent builds. And I struck out on Reverb, but in the search process, read about the Kuro T-120. I contacted Giulio of Kuro, and learned that he had one... in Italy. So, I bought it, and within 10 days it arrived at my office. After playing with it now for a few days, it has become one of my favorite dirt/doom pedals and I think it worthy of a demo. Here is a link to the product page: T120 – Kuro Custom Audio.

And here is the demo shot with my iPhone...

I've gone down a matamp preamp pedal rabbit hole tonight on google, and it led me to your thread. Thanks for posting the video! Now I need to find one of these.

I too have been trying to track down a Dunwich or Magic DA120 but they are both very expensive & not aesthetically pleasing so I opted for a big box Kuro T120 & a Does it Doom? Giza to compare & contrast the seven knobs vs the one knob.

It does doom but not only, good clean and slightly overdriven tones as well.

The version 2 has a line out that I use in the return fx loop, it sounds better that way for me. I think the manual mentions the line out is tuned slightly different, I don't exactly remember.
The owner of the company is very nice and fast shipping but depending on availability you might have to wait the next production batch. it matches well the sleeve color of my amp by the way

I got the big box yesterday & like it quite a bit. Also got the Does it Doom? Giza & its nice as well. I prefer the Kuro but its nice to have the added overdrive/distortion on tap that the Giza offers.
