FUZZ PEDALS

New Pedal: Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 with Tone Wicker

The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 with Tone Wicker is not a polite fuzz. The "Tone Wicker" isn't a gentle EQ boost; it is a set of sonic bolt cutters designed to rip the blankets off your amplifier. The NYC builder pioneered this feature to solve the Big Muff’s most…... Click for more

New Pedal: Strymon Canoga Silicon Fuzz

Strymon built a reputation on digital wizardry—big boxes, deep menus, endless presets. But behind all that DSP lives an analog team that's been quietly designing circuits nobody gets to see. Times are a-changing. The Series A line is the company's outlet for analog dirt boxes. No MIDI. No USB. No…... Click for more

New Pedal: Summer School Fuzz 101

Math class was useless. This isn't. The Summer School Fuzz 101 features two BC108 silicon transistors. The same ones that made London sound like London in the '60s. High-gain, noisy, glorious. Summer School took that DNA, added a few legendary mods, and somehow didn't screw it up. Volume. Fuzz. Bias.…... Click for more

New Pedal: Summer School Fuzz 101

New Pedal: JHS Coyote Fuzz

Josh Scott has made a career of digging up lost circuits and handing them back to guitar players. The JHS Coyote Fuzz is his tribute to Glenn Wyllie, a North Carolina builder who's been soldering transistors since the '60s and somehow never became a household name. Wyllie's Moonrock fuzz was…...

New Pedal: Enduring Audio Fell Runner Fuzz

Some fuzzes want to be your friend. The Enduring Audio Fell Runner wants to steal your wallet and key your car. Enduring Audio looked at the Roland Bee Baa - that weird Japanese box from the '70s that sounded like bees fighting inside a tin can - and extracted its…... Click for more

New Pedal: Enduring Audio Fell Runner Fuzz

New Pedal: Zorg Effects Glue Fuzz MkII

The first Glue Fuzz was a sleeper. Two fuzzes in one box—a Fuzz Face and an Octavia—with controls that made no sense until you twisted them and the whole room tilted sideways. Velcro sounds. Synth sputters. That weird in-between space where fuzz stops being fuzz and starts being something broken…... Click for more

New Pedal: Zorg Effects Glue Fuzz MkII

Hudson Electronics Broadcast AP-II

The Broadcast preamp pedal from UK builder Hudson Electronics has a stellar reputation and made several best-of lists when it came out a few years ago. The AP version of it, recently updated to the dual version, named Broadcast AP-II, is an evolution of the original design engineered in collaboration…... Click for more

New Pedal: Fuzzrocious Grey Stache/Heliotropic Double Fuzz

Let's get one thing straight right now. You're looking at a box that crams two completely separate fuzz circuits into one enclosure and sells the whole mess for less than what the Heliotropic alone used to cost. One-forty-five for the Grey Stache, two-ten for the Helio. Now you get both…... Click for more

New Pedal: Fuzzrocious Grey Stache/Heliotropic Double Fuzz

New Pedal: Blue FX Fuzz Field

Hand-built in Denmark, the Blue FX Fuzz Field is a daring experiment in interactive analog fuzz, presenting itself as a "playable and interactive modulated fuzz pedal" rather than a static distortion. Built around a dynamic, gated fuzz core, it specializes in chaotic, animated textures that respond directly to your playing…... Click for more

New Pedal: Blue FX Fuzz Field

Mask Audio Electronics MAYBE? Fuzz

A marriage of the company's two fuzz circuits named Yes and No, the appropriately named Maybe? is a super-tweakable dual fuzz. Each side can be played independently or stacked on top of the other. Judging from the builder's words, the destiny of this union is doomed to be destructive, at…... Click for more

Mask Audio Electronics MAYBE? Fuzz

Walrus Audio Silt Fuzz

Pedals with tubes in them are quite rare, and normally confined to the overdrive niche. The Walrus Audio Silt is a fuzz pedal with a 12AU7 tube in it, created in collaboration with tube expert Jim Hagerman of Hagerman Amplification. The Silt is a rather simple device, with the classic…... Click for more

New Pedal: Thorn Soundlab Black Swamp Flex Fuzz

Far from a static vintage emulation, the Nashville-made Thorn Soundlab Black Swamp fuzz establishes itself as a sovereign domain of fully analog, user-configurable saturation. It approaches distortion not as a fixed character, but as a flexible texture to be sculpted across the entire frequency spectrum. This philosophy is embodied in…... Click for more
