EarthQuaker Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainer
Discover the unparalleled fuzz experience crafted by EarthQuaker Devices, inspired by Wata, the iconic guitarist of Japan's legendary experimental band Boris. Known for their diverse sonic palette encompassing doom, hardcore, thrash, noise-core, ambient, and more, Boris has been a monumental force in the music world. Their unique collaborations with artists like Sunn O))), Merzbow, and Ian Astbury have further cemented their status. Wata's distinctive use of her black Les Paul Custom, producing heavy riffs and melodic leads, has captivated fans worldwide.
The featured fuzz pedal is a meticulous recreation of Wata's favored distortion device, the Elk BM Sustainar. This Japanese variant of the "Triangle" BMP distortion pedal offers a unique blend of heavy saturation, gritty edge, and massive low end while maintaining clarity and dynamic tone. EarthQuaker Devices' engineers ensured that every characteristic of the original was preserved, delivering a fuzz pedal that stands out in any musical setting.
This fuzz/distortion pedal delivers an impressive range of heavy distortion, smooth sustain, and an underlying grit that threatens to tear through the speakers, yet it retains a surprising clarity. The Sustain control offers a wide spectrum of saturation, allowing even minor adjustments to significantly influence the tone. It responds beautifully to various pickup types and playing dynamics, ensuring that power chords sound massive, open chords are dynamically rich with excellent note separation, and single-note leads are smooth and powerful.
The Tone control is highly versatile, transforming the character of the distortion based on its setting. Turn it clockwise to boost bass frequencies for a thunderous low end, or counterclockwise to enhance treble frequencies for piercing highs. Midrange presence is also adjustable, making the pedal suitable for a range of tonal preferences. The Volume control provides substantial output gain, with unity at around 9-10 o'clock, and anything beyond that unleashes its full power.
