Earthquaker devices Hizumitas Fuzz

The Hizumitas was designed for the one and only Wata of the legendary experimental band Boris, one of Japan's most powerful bands, also known for their collaboration with American band Sunn O))) and Ian Astbury of The Cult. The Hizumitas is a faithful reproduction of Wata's saturation pedal, the Elk BM Sustainar, a Japanese variant of the famous "Triangle" BMP. EQD meticulously studied Wata's personal pedal and discovered that it had something special that the others didn't: heavy saturation with a distinctive grain and massive bass, while retaining a bright, dynamic sound with enough midrange and treble to stand out in the mix. This fuzz-distortion pedal delivers plenty of heavy saturation and smooth sustain with bite, sounding like speakers on the verge of exploding, while delivering a clarity that's totally unexpected. The Sustain setting offers a wide variety of saturation, where every change will greatly affect the sound. The Hizumitas reacts very well to all types of pickups and playing dynamics. Your power chords will sound big and heavy, while open chords will be dynamic with superb note distinction, and single notes will be soft but powerful, especially with the neck pickup. The Tone control can completely change the character of the saturation, from aggressive mids to piercing highs. The Volume control offers a huge amount of output gain from the quarter-turn.
