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 RTO is an amazingly amp-like overdrive. While many companies claim to offer “amp in a box” pedals, the RTO is in actuality a tube preamp circuit in a stand-alone stompbox format.

The RTO700 has all the tone and responsiveness of the best boutique tube amps.  From bluesy overdrives to the elusive “Brown Sound” and beyond, all can be easily achieved with any amp at any volume when using the RTO.
