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

Aus der nur in Japan verkauften 01-Serie von Maxon aus den 1980er Jahren stammt der Maxon SD-01 Sonic Distortion, der denselben JRC4558D wie die ursprüngliche TS-Schaltung verwendet, allerdings mit höherer Verstärkung und mehr Klarheit, weniger Kompression und weniger Mitten als der klassische 808 oder OD-9.

From Maxon's 1980's 01 series sold in Japan only, the Maxon SD-01 Sonic Distortion uses the same JRC4558D as the original TS circuit, although these have higher gain and more clarity, less compression, and less midrange than the classic 808 or OD-9.
