Fuzz Elements - Ether (FE10)

The FWA10 Water narrows the playing field by taking the authentic Ram’s Head replication of the Fuzz Elements Earth and adding a parametric EQ circuit to the mix.

Water’s powerful parametric equalizer covers a massive frequency range from a punchy 100 Hz to ear-splitting 5 kHz. Select a frequency and then boost or cut to tweak your tone with pinpoint accuracy.

By manipulating Water’s EQ, the user can dial in the entire palette of Big Muff variations, from the more mid-heavy, musical snarl of the original Triangle-Knob Muff to the harmonically-rich sustain of the Ram’s Head all the way through to the super-compressed, scooped-mid mayhem of the Green Russian Sovtek’s.

The FWA10 Water: Why settle for one Muff, when you can have them all?

Fuzz Elements - Water (FWA10)

Looking at the MAXON Limited Edition OD-9 Creamdrive circuit, you’ll realize that this is not some redesign being cleverly marketed as a reissue – this is THE original OD-9 (TS-9) circuit, yet with the addition of true bypass switching. Even the PC board is the same one that Maxon’s been using for the past 30+ years, complete with empty slots where parts for the FET switching circuit have been left out!

OD 9 Creamdrive

The new AD-9 Pro model improves on one of Maxon’s most coveted models in order to produce the best-sounding, most reliable analog delay ever. Featuring 4 of Maxon’s proprietary MC4107D bucket brigade IC’s, and the world’s first RMS level sensor and companding noise reduction system, the AD-9 Pro delivers 450 millseconds of the most transparent analog delay sound ever available in a stompbox format.

Offering improved headroom, the AD-9 Pro can accept any input signal and will work in an amplifier's effects loop as well as its front-end.

The AD-9 Pro also features a switchable multi-head tape echo simulator function. This feature provides interesting new delay effects such as the “Ping Pong” repeats made famous by Tape Echo units as well as ambient effects that recreate the echoes of a large concert hall with stunning accuracy.

AD-9 Pro is outfitted with mechanical true bypass switching on both wet and dry outputs by use of a 4PDT switch assuring pure, unaltered tone when bypassed.

In a world that grows more “digital” by the day, the Maxon AD-9 Pro sets a new standard of analog innovation and audio purity.

100% Analog Delay with 450 mS delay time
Gorgeous, warm, organic delay tone
Special filtering on repeats to reduce distortion
Multi-Tap switch for “beat-split” effects
Capable of Self-oscillation effects
Stereo (wet/dry) outputs
Works in FX loop or front-end of amp
