Description

The SUPERCOLLIDER distortion / fuzz has been a favorite among bass players and heavy guitarists for the aggressive attack and huge low end. This version crams the classic circuit into a smaller, pedalboard-friendly 125b enclosure. The toggle switch selects between the standard gain setting (down) or an even higher gain setting (up) for extra creamy sustain.

The SUPERCOLLIDER features these controls:

  • LEVEL
  • GAIN
  • TONE
  • MIDS
  • MASS
  • GAIN switch

The SUPERCOLLIDER is wired for true bypass and can be powered by a standard 2.1mm negative tip 9v power supply. No battery option.

Critic Reviews

Earthbound Audio Supercollider Fuzz review on pedal-of-the-day.com

pedal-of-the-day.com

The Earthbound Audio Supercollider Fuzz is a powerhouse pedal that delivers raw, gritty, and heavy tones ideal for both guitar and bass. With versatile controls like Tone, Gain, and a unique Mids and Mass knob, it offers a wide range of sound sculpting options. The addition of a toggle for LED or Silicon clipping further expands its tonal possibilities. While it excels in creating powerful, heavy sounds, it may not suit players seeking subtlety or cleaner tones. If you're into down-tuned guitars or thick, heavy bass, this pedal is a must-try.
