FUZZ PEDALS

Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon

Crazy Tube Circuits, a Greek company that apparently learned electronics by staring at the sun and listening to Blue Cheer records, built this three-panel monster. It's not a pedal.

Earthquaker Devices Fuzz Master General

The original Ace Tone Fuzz Master FM-2 is one of those vintage Japanese circuits that people chase for years. It's basically a Super Fuzz variant — that same aggressive octave grind — but harder to find and usually crusty with age. With the Earthquaker Devices Fuzz Master General, the Ohio-based…...

New Pedal: Fjord Fuzz Midgard

Most fuzz pedals do one thing. The Fjord Fuzz Midgard does two, and the second one is the reason to buy it. The fuzz side is solid — warm, thick, not harsh. You can plug straight in and get there. Or you can hit the preamp first: a Texas Instruments…... Click for more

New Pedal: EarthQuaker Devices Bellows Jr.

The EarthQuaker Devices Bellows Jr. is a two-knob wonder that does something most dirt pedals can't: it sounds like an amp falling apart in the best possible way.

R2R Time-O-Lite Fuzz

Waterslide Guitars and R2R Electric spent two years figuring out how to turn a 1960s darkroom timer into a fuzz pedal without just bolting new knobs onto it. The result is exactly as weird and wonderful as that sounds. Each unit starts with a vintage Time-O-Lite timer chassis. The existing…... Click for more

Way Huge Doom Hammer Fuzz

The Way Huge Doom Hammer Fuzz's lineage traces back to 1998, when designer Jeorge Tripps modified a late-'70s op-amp fuzz circuit for the band Oranger. Prized for its less pronounced mid-scoop compared to many vintage fuzzes, the circuit was valued for its tighter low-end response and reliable live performance. Decades…... Click for more
