Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
Discover the HIWATT Filter Fuzz MkII pedal, an analog distortion pedal that transports you to the heart of the legendary sounds of the 1960s—ideal for musicians seeking powerful and authentic guitar tones.
Overview
The HIWATT Filter Fuzz MkII pedal is a 100% analog fuzz inspired by the iconic sound of the 1960s. It draws its essence from the combination of a Musicraft Messenger guitar and the Heathkit Fuzz pedal, made famous by guitarist Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad, notably on the 1969 album “Grand Funk.”
Rich, organic distortion for vintage tones
The Filter Fuzz MkII stands out for its ability to reproduce the raw, thick, and gritty distortion characteristic of Mark Farner’s style. With its tailored controls, it lets you explore the full range of tones, from the most classic to the most innovative.
Effective controls for varied tones
Equipped with a three-position rotary switch, the pedal offers different bass-filtering options to highlight the mids. This allows you to create a wide range of distortion sounds:
- Thick, creamy distortion
- Sharp and aggressive fuzz
- Gated fuzz effects
- Spitty fuzz
- Harmonics reminiscent of an upper octave
