Fuzzrocious Pedals is a family-run effects pedal company based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, founded by husband-and-wife team Ryan and Shannon Ratajski. Ryan designs the circuits and handles soldering, while Shannon hand-paints each enclosure, giving every pedal a distinctive, colorful aesthetic. The company grew out of Ryan's early experiments building a Big Muff clone around 2008 while playing bass in a band, and has since expanded into a full lineup of dirt pedals spanning overdrive, distortion, and fuzz.
The Fuzzrocious catalog is anchored by a handful of well-regarded designs. The Demon and its expanded sibling the Demon King deliver low-to-medium-high gain drive with a built-in gate mod and feedback loop. The Cat Tail offers Rat-inspired distortion with a wide gain range, while the Grey Stache channels vintage Big Muff territory with a heavy, bass-rich fuzz tone. The Li'l Fella packs the Demon circuit into a compact format with an extended EQ and additional fuzz voicings. Other models include the Cat King, 420 Fuzz, Afterlife, Heliotropic, and M.O.T.H.
Fuzzrocious has built a strong following in the heavy music and indie rock communities, with their pedals appearing on the boards of artists in bands such as Tool, Deftones, Queens of the Stone Age, Chelsea Wolfe, Russian Circles, Neurosis, Circa Survive, Every Time I Die, Thrice, and Portugal. The Man, among many others.
