  • FUZZ ELEMENTS - EARTH (FEA10)

    The FEA10 Fuzz Elements Earth captures the grit and sustain of a vintage EH Ram's Head Big Muff. It offers a warm, wooly transistor distortion with long sustain and note sag.

  • FUZZ ELEMENTS - ETHER (FE10)

    The FE10 Ether combines the Fat channel fuzz of the Air with a powerful parametric equalizer covering 100 Hz to 5 kHz, allowing unlimited tonal variations on the classic Super Fuzz sound.

  • FUZZ ELEMENTS - FIRE (FF10)

    The FF10 Fire is based on the vintage Roland AF100 Bee Baa, producing two distinct aggressive fuzz tones. A footswitchable Notch mode scoops mids and accentuates upper octave harmonics for lead work.

  • FUZZ ELEMENTS - VOID (FV10)

    The FV10 Void emulates the vintage Ampeg Scrambler, producing unique frequency- and dynamics-dependent fuzz and octave effects that vary based on playing technique and note position.

  • FUZZ ELEMENTS - WATER (FWA10)

    The FWA10 Water combines the Ram's Head Big Muff replication of the Earth pedal with a parametric EQ circuit, letting users dial in a wide range of Big Muff variations from mid-heavy snarl to scooped-mid mayhem.

  • FUZZ ELEMENTS - WIND (FW10)

    The FW10 Fuzz Elements Wind recreates the vintage Mk II Tonebender sound, offering an edgy midrange-heavy fuzz tone with a Vintage/Hot gain switch and a selectable input buffer for smoother note response.

  • ORGANIC OVERDRIVE (OOD-9)

  • OVERDRIVE PRO (OD820)

    The OD820 is a guitar overdrive pedal based on Maxon's classic 808 circuit, running at an internal 18 volts for extra headroom and a fuller frequency response. It offers a dual-purpose Drive control that blends clean boost and overdrive tones.

  • OVERDRIVE PRO PLUS (OD-9Pro+)

    An overdrive pedal based on the classic OD-9 circuit with switchable 9- or 18-volt internal operation and a Mid Boost switch for added midrange gain, using an NJM4558 op amp with true bypass switching.

  • OVERDRIVE-SOFT DISTORTION (OSD-9)

    A reissue of Maxon's first overdrive, the 1977 OD880, offering a warm, open overdrive with a mild high-end roll off using NOS UA741 op amps and regulated 9 VDC power with true bypass switching.

    A single-knob analog phaser pedal reissuing the original 1974 circuit unchanged, offering classic 70's-era phasing effects with buffered JFET bypass switching.

  • PRO PLUS PHASE SHIFTER (PT-9Pro+)

    An optical phase shifter pedal based on the rare Japan-only PT-9 Pro, adding a voltage-doubling IC for increased headroom and a fat, lush, 3-dimensional phasing effect similar to vintage optical phasers.

  • PURE ANALOG CHORUS (PAC-9)

    An analog chorus pedal with a full-bodied, wide-range LFO capable of rotary speaker sounds, featuring Pure and Bright switches for tonal variation and standard plus inverted outputs for stereo routing.

Cable

  • PV-A Pivoting Plug

    A 1/4-inch instrument plug with a continuously rotating swivel head over a 180-degree arc, designed for easy connections in tight spaces and reduced stress on solder connections.

  • PV-C Straight Plug with Compression Sleeve

    A non-pivoting straight 1/4-inch plug featuring a compression sleeve that makes full contact around the plug's circumference for a secure fit and improved signal transmission.

Delay

  • ANALOG DELAY (AD999)

    An analog delay pedal loaded with eight custom Bucket Brigade IC's providing 900 milliseconds of warm delay tone with dynamic distortion on repeats. It features stereo wet/dry outputs and is capable of self-oscillation effects.

  • ANALOG DELAY PRO (AD999Pro)

    An analog delay pedal with up to 900 milliseconds of delay time using eight Bucket Brigade IC's, featuring proprietary noise reduction filtering on repeats. Multi-Head mode switches create polyrhythmic repeats, and dual outputs allow routing dry and delayed signals separately.

  • ANALOG DELAY PRO (AD9Pro)

    A 100% analog delay pedal using bucket brigade IC's to deliver up to 450 milliseconds of warm, transparent delay. It features a switchable multi-head tape echo simulator function and stereo wet/dry outputs.
