FUZZ PEDALS

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

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.
